BN7 Marks the MKII Upgrade (1961‑1962)
In May 1961 BMC refreshed the flagship 3000 with three SU HS4 carburetors, modified valve springs and a new camshaft, creating the MKII model known as the BN7.
Production Numbers and Rarity
Overall, 42,925 Austin‑Healey 3000s were built between 1959 and 1967, but only 2,284 of the early MK I versions were produced, making the later BN7 MKII a relatively rarer find for collectors.
Racing Pedigree and European Success
During its production run the 3000 series enjoyed strong success in many European competitions, cementing its reputation as a celebrated rally and sports‑car icon.
