Of the 13,650 Austin Healey 3000 MkI's produced, only 2,825 were BN7's, making up just 20.7% of the production, with the remainder comprising of BT7's, the 2+2 seat variant.

Offered in excellent mechanical condition, this BN7 has been improved by the replacement of its original 1.75” SU carburettors with 2” SU carburettors and a matching later type Austin Healey 3000 inlet manifold as well as an extractor exhaust system providing noticeably more power throughout the rev range.
This is a great opportunity to own and enjoy a delightful example of the desirable and usable classic Austin Healey 3000 Mk1 BN7.
