1960 Austin-Healey 3000 MK I Primer gray BN7

Minimal rust is the plus for this car.  Some surface rust but no holes or patches on underside.  On top side a few bubbles and a few pea sized holes base of one or more fenders and door.  Previously repaired front apron, front passenger  fender, passenger driver fender was probably replace.  ou can see evidence of damage on driver inner fender.  e pretty straight compared to what I have seen on other cars. Like new 60 spoke wire wheels and tires from Hendrix Wire Wheel in 2017 which make it drive pretty smooth. Not driven much since.  The car has  a  few concerns. ts, runs and sounds great but exhaust smokes. s good oil pressure – almost 60 lbs. Can’t remember what it drops to when warm.   drive slips when warmed up. ks all fluids. Not the original engine and transmission.  s British Heritage Certificate. Comes with a hardtop that needs restoration. Original starter and alternator that work well. kes rebuilt. Probably needs some of the springs / balls replaced in the gear shift.  All four wheel bearings and seals have been replaced.  ar end needs pinion shimmed but leaks little if any.  s a tiny brake line leak but doesn’t use fluid. s a grill but was not installed for some reason when I bought it.  Original color Healey Blue. ve about 70 plus  pictures of details and underside.   ve it 200 miles to the Healey meet in Al and back in 2017.  Did pretty good in the gymkhana. in the rough award.   It’s not real quiet. On the way to someone asked me to ” step on it” so they could “hear what it sounds like.”  I shifted through  the gears at the next light and he pulled up and said “Spot On”.  I hope the next one I get sounds just like it. I’m selling this because I wanted to do a full restoration but I can see that it’s not going to  happen soon so  selling this and buy one already restored. Located in Southwest Georgia. all pictures at https://flic.kr/ps/43abHS .  Tried to show defects in pictures plus show what good shape little rust on the body and frame. This car used to have a forinia VIN number. That has since been corrected and registration shows correct   vin    H-BN7-L/6654
