The Austin-Healey 3000, affectionately known as the "Big Healey," stands as an icon of British sports car motoring. Introduced in 1959, the Mark I represented the ultimate evolution of the BMC B-Series engine, now expanded to a 2,912cc inline-six. This larger engine, coupled with front disc brakes as standard, elevated the car's performance and safety, cementing its reputation as a formidable rally competitor and a thrilling roadster. Available in both two-seater (BN7) and 2+2 (BT7) configurations, the Mark I's elegant lines and robust character quickly captivated enthusiasts worldwide, with its production run laying the groundwork for a legendary lineage that would continue through the mid-1960s. This 1960 Austin-Healey 3000 Mark I BT7 2+2 embodies the spirit of that golden era. Benefitting from a comprehensive restoration, it presents in a striking Healey Blue, a color synonymous with the marque's racing heritage and timeless style. Power comes from the venerable inline-six engine, paired with a manual transmission, promising an engaging driving experience that connects the driver directly to the road. With 31,256 miles on the odometer, this Big Healey is ready for its next chapter of spirited drives and admiring glances. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a meticulously restored example of a true British classic.
