Austin Healey 3000 MK I BN7 Full Restoration – Nearing Completion

Imported from the States where this Austin Healey spent a number of years as part of the sports car club of America

Austin Healey 3000 MK I BN7 – This is a complete restoration, to the customer specification. The inspiration for this restoration stemmed back from the 1960s when our customer was just 19 years old and now he has decided that he would like to recharge his teenage passion and own an Austin Healey once again. It was started back in July 2012 when a donor car was located, imported from the States and ready for collection from Yorkshire, on a very wet, windy, grey July summers day. It was obvious from the limited amount of paintwork still visible on the rusty bodywork that during its time in America this car had raced and was part of The Sports Car Club of America.
