Hello
This is probably superfluous to where you are going, but the alloy bonnet on
the BN3 does not have a cross brace. Attached are a couple of photos showing
the bonnet (it?s not on the car at the moment) and also the number stamped on
the side showing 125.

Hi Listers,
Thanks to those of you who responded back to me so quickly.
FWIW, Michael Salter and I were trying to determine when the the Aluminum
bonnets on early BN1s first received the side to side cross brace for strength
and stiffening. Initially we knew that body no. 724 did not have this brace,
and no. 1267 did have one... See photos.
We now know that body nos. 877 and 1000 did have the cross brace, so we've
narrowed it down quite a bit. 877 - 724 = 153 body numbers. Of course we
realize that 100s were not always built in strict body number order, so there
may be some overlap either way.
So, is there anyone still out there with a BN1 no. 725 to 876 with there
original bonnet?
Thanks again,
Curt Arndt
