When it comes to classic cars, the Austin Healey BJ7 is certainly one that stands out. Produced from 1961-1964, the BJ7 is a 2+2 seat roadster that offers both style and performance. Its powerful six-cylinder engine and responsive handling make it a joy to drive, and its classic design has stood the test of time.
