About the 1959 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7/BT7
The BN7/BT7 introduced the legendary 2.9-liter straight-six that would define the Big Healey experience, producing 124 horsepower with abundant torque for effortless cruising. Available in both two-seat roadster (BN7) and 2+2 convertible (BT7) configurations, these early 3000s retained the pure sports car character of the original 100. The larger engine transformed the Healey's personality, providing stronger acceleration and more relaxed high-speed touring capabilities. Built at Longbridge over two years, 13,650 examples established the 3000 as Austin-Healey's flagship model. The BN7/BT7 featured the classic side-curtain windows and simple folding top that epitomized 1950s sports car design. These early 3000s are increasingly appreciated by collectors who prefer their rawer character over later, more refined variants. With their perfect balance of performance and authenticity, clean BN7/BT7 examples represent excellent value in the Big Healey market.
