- Desirable two-seat configuration, powerful engine, front disc brakes
- Rare example with strong performance

The 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 MK I BN7 Roadster presented here is one of the most desirable models, retaining the original two-seat configuration and enhanced by the longer wheelbase of the "big" Healeys. Such features as the 124-bhp, 3.0-liter engine, front disc brakes and alloy body panels combine to deliver a spirited driving experience far beyond the earlier models. Only 2,825 of these very desirable sports cars were produced, and they continue to attract strong demand from collectors.

A lovely older body-off-frame restoration showing about 76,100 miles, this rare BN7 has excellent bodywork and panel alignment with striking Colorado Red paintwork. The cockpit is trimmed in black leather upholstery smartly piped in red, and the car is complete with a black convertible top and matching tonneau cover, a covered spare tire, side windows, chrome wire wheels, driving lights, and a detailed engine compartment. We are told the car is in excellent running condition. This is an excellent opportunity for the true British sports car enthusiast.
