1964 Austin-Healey 3000

BMC VIN HBJ8L25814 was restored to order during the first have of 2010 by the British Motor Corp., Philadelphia, PA. At the time the engine and drive train were rebuilt by Lorenzo's Automotive, Langhorn, PA. The current odometer reading of just over 3k miles reflects miles driven since the restoration. The exterior was finished in Sikkens urethanes and block sanded/polished to a mirror finish. Bright fittings (stainless and chrome plated) were either re-chromed or purchased new. The interior was upholstered in tan leather and the top and tonneau cover were done in tan Harrtz Stay fast weather/UV resistant fabric. A California Motoring Accessories custom car cover and original Shelly jack are included. To improve handling the vehicle was fitted with 72 spoke chrome wire wheels and 185 radial tires. The goal of the restoration was to have a vehicle finished to a very high mechanical and visual standard but meant to be driven daily but also to be taken to concourse events locally. Hence, it is registered in Pennsylvania for everyday use and not as an antique or classic. At the time of its restoration the car had to undergo an enhanced inspection do to the fact it was considered a reconstructed automobile (the title in clean and clear).
