1960 Austin-Healey 3000 MKI Sport Roadster

This 1960 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk I BT7 was completed between July 21st and 22nd of 1959 and was built as a left-hand-drive North American Export example. It was dispatched on July 30th, handled by the Hambro Automotive Corporation, Austin-Healey's East Coast importer, and delivered to its first owner of Fort Worth, Texas. Later in 1963, it was purchased by another Texas owner with whom it remained until 2011. It was subsequently sold to Kurt Tanner and over the course of the following year, was given a restoration to factory condition by Tanner (of Tanner Restorations of Southern California). Upon its completion, the car was sold to a California collector, and four years later it was sold to the current caretaker.

This Mark I BT7 is finished in its original colors of black over red with a black top. It has its matching-numbers engine, owner's manual, workshop manual, new side curtains, and a knockoff hammer.
