Notes
Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this gorgeous 1960 Austin Healey 3000 BT7. When the Austin-Healeys took to the twisting and winding British countryside roads in 1952, they were unlike any other automobile of the the day. After seven decades, the stylish little sports cars have developed quite a loyal following on multiple continents. This 3000 BT7 is one of the Big Healey Roadsters and was the recipient of a professional restoration approximately a decade ago. The current owner has provided a tote full of paperwork, documents, manuals, and awards for this show stopper. The two tone combination of black and ivory work beautifully together in creating a true work of art. Inside the cabin, youll discover subtle black leather interior with caramel colored inserts and pipping. The detailed engine bay houses a 2.9l inline six cylinder which runs strong and smooth and when combined to the 4-speed manual transmission creates a thrilling driving experience. If you are a fan of these classic Motors from across the pond, youll be hard pressed to find a better Big Healey than this one! Its time for a, Spot of tea and time on the open road.

Bought a vehicle based on Gateways description and pictures 2 weeks ago. I live 1100 miles away, so I was trusting their word. What a big mistake!Vehicle was listed as a "fresh restoration in May 2016". The salesman(Brad at the Tampa branch)assured me this car was in great "show" condition. On arrival, the vehicle barely started, had no turn signal lights, instrument cluster lights, console lights, reverse lights,or functioning horn. Fuse box is completely rusted out. Their description said it had a Holley 850 CFM carburetor, but it a 670 CFM, and it's shot. Transmission, power steering , and radiator all leaking. They attempted to plug up the leaks with gasket sealant. Some linkage under the vehicle was held together with a wire and bent nail. Both exhaust brackets broken. AC and heat had been ripped out of the vehicle. Emergency braking system completely removed. Rear leaf spring broken. Windshield washer system also completely removed. And the engine has a knocking noise. My mechanic gave me an estimate of nearly $7000 dollares to bring this vehicle just up to specs. I forwarded the estimate to Gateway per their request. 2 days later, they called me back and said their is nothing they could do for me. That I signed a sales contract, so I'm just xxxx out of luck. They say it's not their fault the previous owner told Gateway inaccurate information regarding this car. By the way, the previous owner was the car "restorer". And i use this word extremely loosely. I purchased this vehicle for almost $30,000. I didn't purchase a project car. I'm so disgusted with this company and customer relations. And based on other complaints on this website about them, this seems to be a common practice for them. I really hope people who read this shop somewhere else, and pass the word on to friends and family. Gateway Classic Cars is a SHADY, CROOKED , company!!!
