Details

The 1962 Austin-Healey Mark II BT7 is one of 1,941 cars made with center shift transmission and triple carburetors. This car has benefitted from a total nut and bolt, frame-off restoration by Tom and Randee Rocke in 2006. The car is finished in DuPont two-stage polyurethane, 5-Star, chroma base paint, black over ivory. The body panels and chassis were shot blasted to bare metal before being painted with base coat and the clear coat. Complete new interior, black seats with ivory piping and matching wool carpets, new panel kit, new trunk kit, new side curtains, black top and black tonneau cover. All chrome, interior and exterior pieces are triple-plated. All new parts were used when rebuilding the engine, transmission and overdrive, and the ancillary systems were given the same treatment. All new cloth wiring harness has been installed along with new or rebuilt electrical components. A complete new fuel system was installed, including new tank and lines all the way up to the three newly rebuilt 1.5 SU HS4 carburetors. The exhaust has been jet-coated and fitted to a new steel exhaust system. All new brake lines, master cylinder, front disc brakes and jet-coated rear brake drums. New front and rear suspension, Dunlop chrome wire wheels and road speed tires. No expense was spared in this restoration as most parts were purchased new from England. A fully documented photo restoration and British Heritage Trust Certificate accompanies this car.
