Austin-Healey

The Austin-Healey offered here was one of only 355 BN7 3000 Mk II two-seaters delivered to the United States. In the early 2000s, the Healey was brought back to Europe by a well-known German Mercedes dealer with the intention of racing it. During its first race at the Oldtimer Grand Prix at the Nürburgring, it was lapped several times by a certain Denis Welch —which annoyed him so much that he had the Healey taken to Denis (also known as “Mr. Big Healey”) to have it completely rebuilt according to the specifications of his race car. Like the factory race cars, the body was fitted with aluminum fenders and doors, and a fiberglass hardtop was installed. The engine was rebuilt and equipped with three Weber twin carburetors, a racing camshaft, and an exhaust system with a fan-shaped manifold, which was expected to produce around 230 PS.

Of course, the suspension, brakes, and powertrain were modified to handle the increased power. For racing, a large aluminum radiator, an 80-liter safety fuel tank, a roll cage, a Recaro driver’s seat with four-point harnesses, and other components were installed. After its completion in 2008, the Healey was frequently used in historic races and regularly serviced by Böööös Racing. In 2019, the cylinder head was overhauled; in 2020, a fire suppression system was installed; and in 2021, the differential and rear axle were overhauled. The 3000 is now in good, race-ready condition and is sure to provide its future owner with plenty of fun both on and off the racetrack. The car will be delivered with its most recent MFK inspection as a veteran vehicle in September 2026.
