Description

A highly usable 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 Mark I BT7 delivered new to Switzerland
through Emil Frey AG Zurich and documented by its British Motor Industry Heritage
Certificate. Built in January 1961 as a LHD export car, it combines clear
provenance with an attractive and authentic factory specification.

Mechanically the Austin Healey is in very good and road-ready condition. All substantial
recent investments are documented exceeding CHF 19'000 in 2024/25:
- a comprehensive brake-system overhaul in 2024
- extensive work on engine running, cooling, ignition and carburettors in 2025
- fully renewed electrical system with new wiring loom.

The Heritage Certificate confirms factory equipment including the rare black hardtop, wire wheels, overdrive, heater, adjustable steering column, locking fuel cap and km/h speedometer.

The car shows age- and use-related patina and is presented as a well-maintained, authenthic and technically sorted drivers example.
