Hi everyone,
I am looking at a 1961 Austin Healey BT7 4 seater with the overdrive transmission in 3rd and 4th and the tri carbs. This car appears to be complete and in nice condition but I am not very familiar with Austin Healey cars (I have been mostly involved with the 60's American muscle cars)and I am not sure what I should be looking for before I buy. I am most concerned on checking for the correct engine and if there are any other main things to check for originality. Is there a way to check to see if this car is numbers matching? I love the car but want to know what to look for and make sure that I would be getting what I am told. If there is anything else that I should be looking for I wouyld love to know about it. Thanks!
