The second generation of Austin-Healey 3000, known as the Mk II, was introduced in 1961 for the 1962 model year. The Mk II 3000 was offered in three body styles, 2-seat Roadster (BN7), 2+2 Roadster (BT7), and starting in 1963, 2+2 convertible (BJ7). All three variants were powered by a 2.9L inline six engine equipped with three carburetors, and featured a new vertically slanted front grill. Production of the 3000 Mk II continued until 1963, when the Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III was unveiled.
