Restored California Car, Overdrive

Very nice 1960 Austin Healey 3000 BT7 for sale. This California car was Rotessori restored around 20 years ago and has been stored properly, nicely maintained, and lightly used. Equipped with the Laycock de Normanville electric overdrive, wire wheels, laminated windscreen, heater, adjustable steering column and finished in two-tone light metallic blue and white with blue leather interior, convertible top, tonneau, and side curtains.

Weather protection remained minimal, a folding plastic roof on a light demountable frame and above the doors detachable side screens holding sliding perspex panels. , detachable hard top for the 2+2, and two-tone paint were available as options.

The 2,912cc 2.9L inline 6 cylinder was rebuilt and performs beautifully. Shifting is quick and easy, and braking and suspension are excellent making for a super fun and carefree driving experience.

The exterior was fully disassembled, thoroughly prepped, and rotisserie restored. The body is straight and the finish has a nice shine. All rubber, trim, and brightwork were either replaced or restored, and new wheels were installed. The blue tonneau cover fitment is excellent along with the side curtains, and it has an older convertible top included as well. The car looks great all around.

The cockpit was fully restored with proper leather reproduction seating, new door cards, panels, rugs, rebuilt gauges, and restored trim. It's very comfortable and ready to enjoy.
