Tough call as it's all a matter of personal preferences, but having owned
two 3000 Mark I's and a BJ8 and now a BN1, I really prefer my BN1. And I've
been told, the BN2's drive better than the 1. So my vote would be to go for
it. I find mine much more nimble and going down the freeway, I cruise nice
and smooth, straight and have no problem keeping up with traffic even with
the 3 speed.
I like all of the big Healey's but my BN1 puts a real smile on my
face, not that the others didn't, it's just a different experience, especially
with the windshield down!

Hi all,
I came across a beautifully restored BN2 upgraded with the M kit. It is in
another city. I have seen it over the years but I have not driven it.
Can anyone tell me how they drive compared to a BN7? I heard they are
rough to
drive but that was from someone that drives a BJ8. My BN7 is brutally fun
to
drive. It is hot and kinda bumpy but hell that's what I like!
Any insight on BN2s? Do they have much grunt? Can they cruise the
interstates?
I would drive it. I can't stop thinking about the car. I would have to sell
many toys to finance but I'd have more garage space.
Cheers,
