Description:
THIS… is a 1963 Austin-Healey 3000 Mark II BJ7 2+2 Roadster, finished in Signal Red over a black leather interior with a black folding soft top.
This example benefits from an older professional restoration that continues to present beautifully. The 1963 model year marked the first year for the curved windshield and roll-up side windows, making the BJ7 a particularly desirable evolution of the Big Healey. Only 6,113 BJ7 2+2 roadsters were produced for 1963, and this is a left-hand-drive example.
Power comes from a 2.9-liter OHV inline six-cylinder engine equipped with twin SU HS6 carburetors, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission featuring overdrive on third and fourth gears and a 3.91:1 rear axle. Additional mechanical upgrades include an aluminum radiator and stainless-steel exhaust system. The car has a newer battery and has been recently serviced.
The exterior paint and trim are in excellent condition, with straight body panels and a very tidy engine bay. The trunk area presents well and includes a spare tire and an extra wire wheel. Chrome wraparound bumpers fit tightly and show very nicely. A rear-mounted luggage rack adds touring practicality.
The car rides on 60-spoke wire wheels wrapped in Nexen 165/80R15 radial tires, all of which are in very good condition.
Inside, the cabin features black leather seating with red piping, complemented by black carpeting in similarly excellent condition. A three-spoke steering wheel, well-preserved door panels, and a clean instrument panel complete the interior. The floor-mounted shifter is fitted with an oak shift knob, adding a period-correct touch.
Overall, this 1963 Austin-Healey BJ7 represents a highly desirable, well-sorted example of the iconic British roadster—equally suited for spirited driving, touring, or collection.
