-The 3000 MK2 BJ-7 of 1963 was the first “convertible” Big Healey model that had a lovely, snug, easy-to-use folding soft top, wrap around windshield, swiveling quarter lights and proper roll-up windows. Weather protection was much improved from the earlier roadster models. The reversion back to twin carbs made tuning easier with no horsepower lost, still around 131bhp, still coupled to the desirable centershift gearbox.
-Purchased last year from the Northern California Bay Area, this BJ7 presented here has amazingly spent the last 50 years in the same residential garage ! It was discovered in excellent, preserved, original condition with original paint and interior, still retaining it’s pair of original issued black/yellow license plates which match it’s CA title from 1975. It was upgraded sometime in the early 1970’s with a later model, low mileage, BJ8 3000 MK3 engine, carbs, and gearbox (150bhp).
