About this Vehicle

The Austin-Healey 3000 MkIIa, produced between 1961 and 1963, represents a refined evolution of the iconic British roadster. Often referred to as the BJ7, this version was the first of the "Big Healeys" to feature wind-up windows and a curved wraparound windshield, adding comfort and usability without sacrificing its sporting character. Powered by a robust 2.9-liter inline-six engine with twin SU carburetors, it delivers strong performance and a throaty exhaust note that all car enthusiasts cherish. Its long bonnet, sweeping fenders, and low-slung stance gave it an unmistakably athletic presence, while the simple but elegant interior emphasized driver engagement over luxury. The MkIIa bridged the gap between the raw, minimalist early Healeys and the more refined later models, making it a favorite among collectors who appreciate both style and spirited driving.
