Most Big Healeys have been restored to one degree or another by now, so it is refreshing to find one that's so far remained unmolested. An early and therefore triple carburettor MKII, '240 CWD' served as a display car at the Longbridge factory before being delivered to Donald Healey Car Sales. The high specification order included 60-spoke wire wheels shod with Avon Roadspeed tyres, overdrive transmission, adjustable steering column, laminated windscreen and heater. A matching numbers, 'home market' car, it is finished in the classic combination of Colorado Red body matched to Black interior trim and, amazingly, has remained within the same ownership since 1969 and clocked up just 38,457 miles in its 56 year existence - an average of under 700 per year. It is now being made available for somebody else to enjoy and is offered complete with tonneau cover, additional gauges, map-reading light, BMIHT Heritage Certificate and an MOT into November.

Introduced in 1961, the 3000 MKII sported a new grille and bonnet air intake plus a power increase to 132bhp/167lbft, courtesy of three 1.5-inch SUs on separate inlet manifolds. Some 355 BN7 two-seaters and 5,096 BT7 2+2-seaters were made with most going to the States.
