Auction description:
Lot 72 - Osenat
1963 AUSTIN HEALEY 3000 MKII BJ7
HBT7L22107 series
Carte Grise Française de Collection
55000/65000
The example we're presenting is a 1962 Austin-Healey 3000 MK2 BJ7, in fine overall condition, sold new in the USA in 1963. Imported in the 2000s, the car had been restored in the USA prior to importation. It has since been repainted in its current color scheme and regularly serviced. . La Mark 2 sera alimenté non pas par deux mais par trois carburateurs SU (seulement la première année car difficiles à régler) et se différenciera par une calandre à barres verticales. Elle ne sera produite plus qu’en version 2+2 (code BJ7). The Mark 1 uses the bodywork of the Austin-Healey 100, but the 3.0L replaces the 2.6L. The engine will be fed by two SU carburetors. The Mark 2 will be powered not by two but by three SU carburetors (only in the first year, as they are difficult to adjust), and will be distinguished by a grille with vertical bars. Only the 2+2 version (code BJ7) will be produced. The Mark 3 will also only be produced as a 2+2, and will be more powerful and luxurious than its larger siblings.
