**** THE VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN ANNAPOLIS VALLEY, NOVA SCOTIA

This 1962 Austin-Healey 3000 is one of 355 triple-carbureted Mk II BN7 two-seat roadsters built between 1961 and 1962, and it was refurbished in black over green leather around 2015. Power is provided by a 2.9-liter inline-six paired with a retrofitted five-speed manual transmission. Features include a black convertible top and tonneau cover, a body-color removable hardtop, side curtains, chrome-finished 15″ wire wheels, driving lights, and front disc brakes. Acquired by the seller in 2022, this BN7 is now offered with a tool roll, a knock-off hammer, a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, and Nova Scotia registration in the seller's name.

The car was finished from the factory in black, and the body was removed from the frame and stripped to bare metal during its 2015 refurbishment by British Motor Corporation of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Additional features include a black convertible top, a matching tonneau cover, a factory-style body-color removable hardtop, Lucas driving lights, removable side curtains, bright trim, and chrome bumpers with overriders. Chrome-finished 15″ wire wheels secured by knock-offs are mounted with 165-series Vredestein Sprint Classic tires. Braking is provided by front discs and rear drums.

The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in green leather with black piping along with color-coordinated door panels and carpets. Equipment includes a heater, a center armrest, lap belts, rubber floor mats, a chrome passenger grab handle, and a wood shift knob. A wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation including a 120-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and gauges monitoring oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows just over 4k miles, approximately 300 of which were added by the current owner. Total mileage is unknown. The 2.9-liter inline-six is equipped with a trio of SU carburetors, an aluminum oil pan, and a spin-on oil filter adaptor. The engine identification number tag is missing. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Toyota-sourced five-speed manual transmission. The stock transmission is included in the sale.

The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate lists colors, equipment, and production dates of February 12-19, 1962. The body number 18430 matches the number shown on a tag attached to the cowl.
