Auction description:
1960 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk I BN7
Offered without reserve
RM | Sotheby's - AMELIA ISLAND 2019
Chassis No. H-BN7-L/189
One of less than 2,825 Mark I two-seaters built
Ground-up restoration by Healey Lane Restorations
Includes British Motor Industry Heritage Trust (BMIHT) Certificate
The stunning example shown here has benefitted from an exhaustive, fully documented restoration by Tom Rocke, Healey Lane Restorations of Riverside, California. The exterior was painted with two-stage urethane paint of black over ivory before being polished to a high-gloss finish. Inside, the Amblia-covered seats echo the exterior in black with ivory trim. Black wool carpets and a leather-covered dash, complete with rebuilt original gauges and a new steering wheel ensure that both driver and passenger feel as comfortable as possible. Other upgrades include a new front windscreen, new side curtains, a black English canvas soft top, and black tonneau cover. And the mechanics were not ignored either – the transmission and engine were rebuilt using all-new components and finished with a stainless-steel exhaust system.
Considered by many to be one of the handsomest Austin-Healeys ever built, and a pleasure to drive on the track or the open road, the 3000 Mk I BN7 has always been well regarded in enthusiast circles as an excellent motor car in every right.

Offered Without ReserveRM | Online Only - ONLINE ONLY: DRIVE INTO THE HOLIDAYS 11 - 19 DECEMBER 2019 - Auction Closes on 19 December 2019
Chassis No. H-BN7-L/189
Body No. 710
One of 2,825 Mark I two-seaters built
Restored by marque experts at Healey Lane Restorations
Accompanied by the BMIHT certificate
This Austin-Healey 3000 Mk I was built from 18–19 March 1959. A left-hand-drive example, it was destined for North America and left the factory finished in attractive Healey Blue over a Blue interior with matching convertible top. Factory equipment included wire wheels, heater, adjustable steering column, laminated windscreen, miles-per-hour speedometer, and “roadspeed” tires. The car was shipped to the U.S. on 23 April 1959 and delivered to Hambro Trading Inc., USA.
A charming example of the Austin-Healey Marque, this stunning Mark I has benefitted from a restoration by noted expert Tom Rocke of Healey Lane Restorations. The exterior was painted with two-stage urethane paint of black over ivory before being polished to a high-gloss finish. Inside, the Amblia-covered seats echo the exterior in black with ivory trim. Black wool carpets and a leather-covered dash, complete with rebuilt original gauges and a new steering wheel, ensure that both driver and passenger feel as comfortable as possible. Other upgrades included a new front windscreen and black tonneau cover. The mechanics were not ignored, either—the transmission and engine were rebuilt using all-new components and finished with a stainless-steel exhaust system. It should be noted that the engine number tag is missing from the block. Today that work has held up very nicely, having mellowed with age; the car’s undercarriage does depict signs of use but is otherwise in very nice condition. The car’s most recent owner resided in New York. Select service records from his ownership are included with the car along with the BMIHT certificate. In addition to a spare wheel housed in the trunk, the Austin-Healey includes a tool roll and knock-off hammer.
Considered by many to be one of the handsomest Austin-Healeys ever built, the Mark I holds a special place in the sports car world, a peppy British roadster, one that is as perfect for the street as it is at home on the track.
