I think some people are getting confused over the word "body". (I often
think of the center part of the car as body.) Correct me if I'm wrong,
but the shrouds (center part of body) are made of aluminum on most (all?) of
the cars..... there are only a few that have aluminum outer fenders, bonnet,
and boot lids....
Thanks

G'day
As far as I am aware there was only a few AHs that had all alloy bodies. The
pre-production cars, BN3/1, 100S and some Works prototypes competition cars
such as Joe Armour's Sebring 3000.
However if you had enough $$$$$$$ then and now you could have ordered the
same. Having said that the chances of a production BT7 being all alloy would
be next to nil.

I have an education (or ignorance question).
It's only the AHX series that had full aluminum bodies? I'm trying to
figure out if the BT7 in the auction should have had an aluminum body
or a steel one.
Thanks!
