SOLD
One of only 6,113 BJ7s produced in 62, this Austin Healey was built in August 1962 and shipped to Germany on September 7 1962. It was sold through the Donald Healey Company which held the rights to sell cars to the U.S. Forces stationed in Germany. An officer of the U.S. Forces purchased the car while stationed in Germany. Both the officer and the Healey remained in Germany for several years before returning to Oklahoma. The car passed through several owners in Oklahoma, before going to California, then Canada in 2006 for restoration.
Every mechanical system was rebuilt or replaced using the best available components. The chassis was rebuilt using many new parts, and the body panels were metal finished to perfection before being carefully fitted to the car. The body was then painted in its original color of Old English White with Crimson Accents. The interior was then redone in its original color of Red Connolly Leather perfectly complementing the exterior paint scheme. The legendary 2,912 cc straight six engine, derived from BMC C-Series engines, is adorned with twin SU Carburetors and makes 134 HP and 167 foot pounds. Paired with a 4 speed manual with overdrive, this combination was capable of 114 MPH!
