Austin-Healey 3000 MK2 BJ7 '62 1962
General description :
The MkII was built directly in a four and two-seater version, with the type designation resp. BT7 and BN7, remained the same as the MkI. The MkII was built from May 1961. The BT7 remained in production until June 1962. The BN7 disappeared three months earlier. The grille was renewed and now had vertical bars. The engine received a modified manifold with three SU HS4 carburetors, instead of two HD6. The power increased as a result by 8 HP and the sprint from 0-100 lasted 10.9 seconds, a have second shorter than the MkI. A second reason to switch to three carburetors was that this also allowed the rally versions to use 3 carburetors. A few changes were made in November 1961, the most striking being the new gearbox. The gear ratios remained the same, but the poker moved to the top. Because the fiberglass tunnel could be made narrower, more foot space became available.

About Austin-Healey
Austin-Healey was a British sports car make created as a joint-venture between the Austin division of the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and the Donald Healey Motor Company. First Healey model, Healey 100, was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and developed by Donald Healey to be build in-house. They finished a single Healey Hundred for the 1952 London Motor Show. Leonard Lord, managing director of Austin was so impressed by the design that a deal was duly struck with Healey and the car was renamed the Austin-Healey 100 overnight. Austin Healey was born. 100 derived into 100-six, and different 3000 versions before they quit the production in 1968 as the basic design had finally become obsolete.
