[Healeys] Leg Room in Healeys

[Rich C]

The BN4, BT7 series cars have the most leg room ( in terms of length) of all 
the big Healeys. The reason is that in the BJ7, BJ8, the seat back 
intereferes with the rear quarter trim casing. On the BN6/BN7 the seat back 
interferes with the rear top bows stirrup and cup box, and on the BN1/BN2 
the seat back intereferes with the top and bows when folded down. In all 
those cases, the seat track can actually go back further but these 
interferences won't allow the extent of travel.
