1963 Austin-Healey 3000 MkII (BJ7) convertible No reserve

1963 Austin-Healey 3000 MkII (BJ7) convertible No reserve - Same owner since 1990 - Meticulously serviced by specialists - Well-preserved car with a lovely patina - Took part successfully in several Tour Auto events - No reserve One of the distinctive features of this car is the fact it had only two owners since 1984, which is rare for this type of model. The second owner (a very meticulous enthusiast from Touraine) purchased it in January 1990 from the Royal Automobile garage in La Baule, as evidenced by the purchase order included in the file. Since then, it has been driven regularly and has even taken part in a number of historic rallies, such as the Tour de France Auto in 1998 and 1999 (the event’s centenary year) as well as the France Tour in September 2009. In order to keep it roadworthy and ensure trouble-free driving, the car has been regularly serviced and the file contains a large number of invoices totalling over 40,000 euros since 1990, from reputable workshops such as Garage Tessier in Tours and Éric Pérou’s workshop, a specialist of this model. Having been in such careful hands, it is now in a beautifully preserved condition, with an attractive interior patina and a reliable soft top. As a 3000 MkII, it offers the advantage of two small rear seats and a less spartan specification than the earlier versions, notably featuring a curved windscreen and roll-up windows. Its sporty dashboard features a ‘Terratrip’ – useful for regularity rallying events – and its 3-litre 6-cylinder engine provides impressive performance paired with an exhilarating sound, which the future owner will be able to enjoy with the reassurance of a well-maintained car and its undeniable authenticity.
