Only 5, 096 of these Mk II BT7s with the triple carbs were made. This car was produced in the last month of production in June 62, only 90 cars before the model was discontinued.

This one comes with a hard top, triple carbs, 4 speed O/ D, center shift transmission, wire wheels, and it is believed to have covered fewer than 60k miles.

Complete frame and chassis have been painted in the original Colorado Red. All exterior body panels need finishing nothing dramatic.

Engine has been disassembled, mic'ed and plastigauged - original bore with no discernible wear, bearings within manufacturer's tolerances. After reassembly, it has been painted the characteristic Healey engine green. The R in the Engine ID # indicates an overdrive transmission. This transmission is the more desirable center shift that appeared later in the BT7 model run.

Engine has been run/ transmission shifts - tested on jack stands, not driven. Engine and transmission are mounted in the car, and are ready to hook up fuel and electricity.

The interior was ruined from sitting for years, and the carpet and panels have been discarded. Everything else is there - has been removed and placed in boxes that will ship with the car. The original seats of course will need to be restored and recovered.
