1963 AUSTIN HEALEY 3000 Bj 7 ChâSSiS n° hBj7L21842 Carte grise collection La voiture la plus aboutie de la fi rme anglaise est sans nul doute la 3000 notamment avec lÂ’adoption du 6 cylindres en ligne dès 1956. Construite de 1959 à 1967 elle se déclinera en différentes versions. La MK I 3000 sera lÂ’héritière de la Austin Healey 100-6 par une carrosserie identique mais équipée du fameux « Big six » à double carburateur. LÂ’équipement et le confort est alors rudimentaire et elle nÂ’est proposée quÂ’en version « Hard-top ». Elle sera suivie par la MK II (1961 -1963) elle se distinguait de la précédente version par lÂ’adoption dÂ’un troisième carburateur et dÂ’une nouvelle calandre à barre verticales. Les versions alors actuelles sont les BT7 (coupés 2+2) et BN7 (coupés 2 places) en version Hard-top. CÂ’est alors quÂ’en 1962 la voiture remplace certains éléments pour « sÂ’embourgeoiser » et devenir une routière : tels que lÂ’abandon des écrans latéraux en plastique au profi t de vitres latérales un pare brise bombé et une capote facilement manoeuvrable par ailleurs les 3 carburateurs réputés peu fi ables seront remplacés par 2 carburateurs plus gros. La BJ7 ou « Convertible » est née ! Notre exemplaire est une authentique BJ 7 du classique gris perle souvent repris par la fi rme anglaise. LÂ’élégante sellerie gainée de cuir le tableau de bord et les différents organes métalliques évoquent un certain classicisme anglais mais lÂ’ambiance « racing » reste très présente. LÂ’automobile a été complètement restaurée en Atelier (châssis sellerie mécanique moteur) et se présente à nous en état concours. The “3000” is the most famous model of the brand because of its enormous 6 cylinder “Big six” its sporty handling abilities and its quintessentially English look. Mk 1 3000 was based on Austin Healey 100-6 with the same bodywork but a different engine. ItÂ’s an amazing six cylinder 2 9 twin carburetor. The car was really basic and was destined for occasional use and sports. Mk 2 was produced from 1961 to 1963 it differs from the previous model by a 3 carburetor engine a new vertical front grill. When production was started in 1961 two types of vehicle were available the BT7 a sedan two doors with hard top 2+2 and BN7 the same one with 2 seats .In 1962 few modifi cations became available : a curved windshield no plastics side panels but real glass window a real convertible top ( no more hard top!) abandonment of the 3 carburetor engine because it wasnÂ’t reliable and 2 new big carburetors were plug on it. This car is considered like more safe more luxurious and more elegant the BJ 7 “Convertible” was born. Our car is an authentic BJ 7 with the famous English pearl grey very famous with Austin Healey. An elegant leather and metal interior refer to a certain classic and distinguish English style but the “racing” atmosphere remains very strong. This car was fully rebuilt by a professional workshop few years ago.
