I can't believe this! I get to correct Duane on Healey fact. The BT7
was the last Healey Roadster. The BN7 was, I think (don't have my
factory manual at work), a the BT7 without the stupid jump seats (these
are pretty rare). The first covertable (rollup side windows and fold
down top) was the BJ7, like the BT7 called a MkII. I could be wrong
about the N7 and J7 but there's a BT7 in my garage and its got the side
curtains an the erector set top.

mine's also got the three HS4s, but according to the registration is a '62
model. I've read the tri-carb production lasted about 6-9 months only:
I may have one of the last ones build.
I'll have to check out the book Duane's mentioned, everything I've read
about Healey production in the 60-62 period has been contradictory.

casual: the stuff that got bolted on to any given car was based mostly
on what was laying around the shop at the time.
