Popularly called the hairy-chested Healey, the Austin-Healey 3000 was, as the name suggests, a large-engined British sports car, typically in roadster form. Unlike typical British roadsters of the time, the Austin-Healey 3000 came with an uncharacteristically large six-cylinder powerplant and was, overall, a larger car, albeit by not much. Produced between 1959 and 1967, it makes for an excellent classic car to own and cherish. Interestingly, in the Austin-Healey 3000’s later years, the majority of production found its way to North America. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster from Gastonia, North Carolina. Why not pick it up and make it your weekend cruiser?
Exterior and Interior
British roadsters like this 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster look their best in brighter shades of color, which is why red is a wonderful shade for such a car. The paintwork glimmers in the sunshine, while the car’s silver wire wheels with knock off spinners add that ’60s purebred racing machine feel. Of course, it’s a roadster, so you ideally drive it open-topped, feeling the wind in your hair and hearing the rorty engine’s roar. However, should things get too sunny or rainy, there’s a black manually operated convertible soft top that you can deploy. Inside, you’ve got two black leather-upholstered seats and a classic wooden dashboard maintaining the purist vibe that such cars were renowned for in their heyday. After all, a British roadster is meant to give you unfiltered driving pleasure, unaffected by distractions or unnecessary amenities. However, there is a small trunk that can accommodate a couple of soft bags in case you want to take a longer drive and possibly have an overnight stop in between.
Engine
This 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster uses a 3.0-liter (actually 2.9-liter if you want to split hairs) inline six-cylinder engine, driving the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission for that classic British sports car feel. The engine uses twin carburetors and can easily cruise at highway speeds. This is truly a car that will make you feel good every time you get behind the wheel.
The Austin-Healey 3000 is widely regarded as one of Britain’s most celebrated sports cars, but this 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 Fiberfab Jamaican GT Coupe offers a level of exclusivity that few Healeys can match. During the 1960s, Fiberfab introduced the Jamaican GT, a sleek fiberglass-bodied grand tourer designed to transform donor sports cars into exotic-looking coupes inspired by contemporary European GT machines. While many Jamaican GTs were sold as kits for owner assembly, this example is a rare factory-built Fiberfab car, making it significantly more desirable and collectible than the typical home-built conversion. Showing approximately 55,134 miles, it combines proven Austin-Healey 3000 mechanicals with dramatic coachwork finished in Aston Martin California Sage Green over a black leather interior with green piping. With its documented factory-built pedigree, striking design, and limited production status, this Jamaican GT represents a unique opportunity to own a seldom-seen piece of both British sports car and American specialty-car history.
A classic car experience can be a love-hate relationship for many. Narrow that down to classic British car ownership, and your emotions are mostly balanced out: they have the performance to whack a smile on your face, and when down and out, they don't cost too much to get everything running again. Present today is not your ordinary classic motor but a prized possession in the world of classic British motors, and it takes shape with this gorgeous 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BT7. This lovely example hails from Williamsburg, Virginia and is reported to have just 68,943 miles on its odometer and also comes with a host of extra spares and other components included in the sale.
