1962 3000 MkII BT7 tri-carb--rare and fully restored--Heritage Certificate

The original red upholstery was redone in tan vinyl and makes an excellent contrast with the Colorado Red exterior.   The door panels and all four seats are in excellent condition.   The carpet is a matching dark brown.

The padded dash is in good condition and free of cracks.  All of the engine/systems monitoring gauges (temperature. fuel and oil pressure) work properly.   Similarly. the speedometerand tachometer work. as does all of the safety equipment (lights. horn. wipers. etc. ).   The turn signals will require some attention to get them to work properly as will the new top and side curtains that will need repairs and/or adjustments to get them to fit properly (they have never been used on the car).

·       Engine

The car's 2. 12 cc engine was replaced less than 1. 00 miles ago with a New Old Stock (NOS) block and was fully rebuilt [we have the factory crate that it came in as well as the car's original block and engine tag].   The engine starts right up and runs like new.   It is nestled in a fully-detailed engine bay.

·      Transmission

The transmission with electric overdrive was rebuilt at the same time as the engine. and it shifts properly.   The overdrive engages and disengages as it should. allowing extended highway cruising at reduced engine RPM.

·     Tires/Wheels/Brakes

The virtually new tires. Kumo 165R15s. are mounted on 4 new chrome spoke wheels. and the same size spare is mounted on one of the original wire wheels. properly secured in the trunk.   The car's radio is not working.

The tri-carb has front disc and rear drum brakes. the combination of which allows the car to come to a safe and straight stop from speed.

An Excellent Example of one of Austin Healey's Most Collectible Cars

Finding a fully-restored example of the Healey tri-carb is a rare event.     These cars are highly in demand and therefore represent not just a great driving experience but a sound investment as well.   After all. you can't take your CDs or stocks/bonds for a weekend drive or to a car show. and even if they may be blue chips. they will never take the gold trophy!
