Description from the seller

Austin-Healey BT7 3000 MK II – 1961 – Manual with Overdrive – Running Project Car

Offered for sale is this 1961 Austin-Healey BT7 3000 MK II. In Ice blue metallic exterior color and a dark blue interior color.

The car is powered by the 2.9-litre inline-six engine with a displacement of 2912cc. This 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine produces approximately 132 hp and is paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive. The car is equipped with three SU carburettors and rear-wheel drive, giving it the classic and characterful driving experience for which the Austin-Healey 3000 is well known.

The odometer currently shows 18,320 miles. The car is fitted with chrome wire wheels, a wooden dashboard and an interior in original style.

At the moment, the engine turns over and the car starts, but it does require overdue maintenance. The car is currently not road-ready and will need further technical inspection and recommissioning before regular use. The body is generally solid and forms a good base to build on.

In short, this is a 1961 Austin-Healey BT7 3000 MK II with the desirable 2.9-litre inline-six engine, manual gearbox with overdrive, chrome wire wheels and classic interior details. The car is a project and requires work, but it offers a solid and interesting basis for someone looking for an early Austin-Healey 3000 MK II to restore or further improve.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
