1960 AUSTIN-HEALEY 3000 MARK I BN7 ROADSTER

Details

Austin-Healey started sports car production in 1953 with the successful 100-4 model. This was developed into a 6-cylinder model known as the 100-6 which was then improved into the famous 3000 introduced in 1959. With more horsepower, greater torque and disc brakes as standard, the 3000 MKI was offered in both 4-seater and the rare 2-seater body styles. This exceptional 1960 Austin-Healey 3000 MKI BN-7 2-seat roadster was a solid, straight, long time California car. Finished in the traditional

and lovely color scheme of Olde English White with red leather trim and black top. This rare and desirable 2-seater had completed an extensive cosmetic and mechanical restoration by Kurt Tanner Restorations to Austin-Healey Club Concours Gold level standards. Details of the restoration include show quality, two-stage body and paint work, chrome, rubber, interior kit with leather seats, top and side curtains with bag, windshield, 60-spoke stainless wire wheels with radial tires, new wiring harness and electrics, exhaust system and totally rebuilt engine and transmission. This vehicle has been restored with absolute authenticity in mind and the finest materials have been used.
