MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this classic English sports car, a 1963 AustinHealey 3000 Mark II Convertible 2+2 (BJ7) that we are selling for a local client of ours.

Jensen Motors made the cars body while AustinHealey made the cars in Abingdon, England. Only 6,113 examples of the BJ7 models were made. Under its bonnet is a 2.9L straight sixcylinder engine with a pair of SU HS6 carburetors hooked to a fourspeed manual transmission. It also has Girling front disc brakes. Other changes included a vertical barred front grille, windup windows instead of side curtains, an improved hood, and a wraparound windscreen. Optional extras were similar to the Mark I, although the factory hardtop option was dropped with the BJ7's introduction. From August 1961, a brake servo was also available as an optional extra, which greatly improved braking performance. The BJ7 was discontinued in October 1963 with the introduction of the 3000 Mark III.
