Austin Healey 3000 BN7 (1959)
for sale

Price: US $10,000.00

Description:

We are selling this car for the owner. This true two seater Austin Healey BN7 roadster with 47622 miles showing has been carefully stored inside a dry warehouse in Houston Texas for many years from around the late 1980's. It was running when it was stored and is not running now. The engine cylinders had the plugs removed and oil squirted into them from time to time whilst stored. It has the side curtains. Overdrive transmission. Front disc brakes. There is no convertible top but the top frame and top parts are there. The car has a vintage Moto-Lita wooden steering wheel and vintage non original mag wheels likely from the 1960's or early 1970's. The Smiths gauges are all original. Every big Healey has rust as they were born with rust. This said, the frame is typically ugly with peeling paint and surface rust and appears very solid. The doors open and close well and do not bind. There is no sign of aftermarket undercoat used by some to hide rust. I can see no rust holes in the frame. The rear fender dog legs appear to have had an old repair as the paint is discolored. The toe boards need replacing. The floors are ugly under the carpets but appear solid. Most Healeys that have not had this done need new dog leg repair panels fitted. Behind the front sway bar a past owner cut two small holes in the frame around an inch in diameter on each side for reasons unknown, probably for an old modification that does not seem to have been done. It has a cool vintage racing gas cap flip open style. Luggage rack for those on the go. The BN7 is among the scarcest and has the most attractive styling of Austin Healey models as there are no unusable tiny rear seats. With the car are several original glass Lucas lenses for the signal lamps. The trafficator/horn switch feels good. The heater blower motor is there. Has old Michelin red stripe radial tires. No spare.
This car was not dragged out of a swamp, barn or backyard. It was stored inside a metal building with doors and concrete floors. The car has not been disassembled and thrown back together in order to sell it. Any questions, just ask.
