A Healey with History

The special appeal of this BT7 for me lies not only in its classic appearance, but in its history that has grown over decades. After almost four decades in my possession, I now wish to pass it on to an enthusiast who will appreciate an authentic British classic and its documented history.

Viewings by appointment. The extensive documentation and history of the vehicle can be inspected upon serious enquiry.

When I first saw the Austin-Healey, it immediately captured my heart. The elegant shape, the characteristic lines and the powerful engine captivated me at once.

Since 1988, it has been part of my life. We have enjoyed many wonderful drives with friends and countless picnics. It is precisely this combination of sporting character, British charm and shared experiences that makes this Healey so special to me.

Today I particularly appreciate its timeless design and powerful engine – but also the many memories associated with this car. After almost four decades, it is therefore much more than just a classic car: it is a piece of my own history, now seeking a new enthusiast.
