The BN7 model was a big improvement with a larger 2.9-litre engine, front disc brakes and a 4-speed gearbox. Overdrive was a desirable option now offered.

These stylish two-seater sports cars were capable of well in excess of 100mph, making them a highly desirable car in their day and today as classic collector items. 2,825 of the BN7 were manufactured.

This very fine example has been the subject of a comprehensive restoration to an impressively high standard.

In June 2021 when the present owner purchased the car to join his car collection.

No documentation came with the car and its history is unknown. The condition of this car speaks for itself however. The chassis number indicates that the car was originally built in left-hand-drive configuration. Since the present owner purchased the car, it has been serviced and had the overdrive rebuilt, but it has needed nothing else.

It’s seen little use – as a part of a large collection – and has not been out in wet weather.

It starts easily and is a joy to drive, with its torquey motor and sporty exhaust sound. Unlike many roadsters from the era, this car feels as tight as a drum, with no shakes or rattles – a sure sign of a well sorted restoration.

The cost to restore a Big Healey to this standard today would be far in excess the asking price for this car – and you’d struggle to find a better example.
