-The well loved, legendary Austin-Healey 3000 was a very much improved version of it’s 100-6 predecessor with a larger, torquier engine and effective front disc brakes.  This exquisite 3000 BT-7 Roadster presented here was purchased locally last year here in California as a super solid and straight, good running car. It was an ideal car for restoration. The BMIHT certificate certifies that it still retains it’s matching numbers engine and was dispatched to Portland, Oregon on May 10th, 1960. It’s current title from 1968 shows residence in Los Angeles, CA where we believe it remained for most of it’s life.
