This 1963 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ7 Mk II is a 2+2 convertible that is powered by a 2.9-liter inline-six mated to a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The car was acquired by the current owner in 2017 and was subsequently refurbished, which included repainting the exterior in two-tone blue and white, retrimming the interior with blue upholstery, installation of a replacement blue soft top, and fitting a stainless-steel exhaust system. More recent service included rebuilding the carburetors and replacement of the spark plugs.
During the refurbishment the exterior was disassembled, the body panels were stripped, repairs were made and replacement panels were fitted, and the panels were treated with corrosion protection. The body was then refinished in two-tone Ice Blue Metallic and Old English White, and a replacement dark blue soft top and matching boot were fitted at the same time. The weather seals, door handles, finishers, mirrors, and light assemblies were also replaced.
Chrome-finished 15″ knock-off wire wheels are wrapped in Vredestein Sprint Classic tires, and braking is handled by discs with red-finished calipers up front and drums out back. The seller reports that high-rate leaf springs were installed out back during previous ownership, and replacement front springs were installed during the refurbishment. Service of the braking components were recently performed, per the seller.
The 2+2 cabin features low-back front bucket seats and dual rear seat bottoms with a shared backrest, all of which were reupholstered in blue leather in 2018. Replacement door sills and floor pans were also installed, along with insulation material and blue carpeting. Additional features include a wooden shift knob, a padded arm rest, a dashboard-mounted rear-view mirror, door panel pockets, and Austin-Healey-branded rubber floor mats.
The three-spoke banjo style steering wheel frames refurbished Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 120-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for oil pressure, water temperature, and fuel level. Under 72k miles are shown on the five-digit odometer.
The C-series 2.9L inline-six was repainted during the refurbishment and fitted with a larger cooling fan, an aluminum oil pan, and a replacement wiring harness. Subsequent services include rebuilding the twin SU carburetors in June 2019 and replacement of the spark plugs in June 2021.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with electronically operated overdrive.
