[Healeys] BN-1 or BN-2 ?

[Randy Hicks]

BN1 222656 Would have been built mid Jan. 1955.

(Although it is in a period where the chassis numbers jump around a lot with
#222641 being built Jan. 4 '55 and #222644 being built Feb. 9 '55. #222664 was
built Jan. 11, '55.)

Body number #14198 was built mid June 1956 and would be a very late BN2 body
number.

Where is the key location? High or low on the dash? Is there a body number on
the inside of the cockpit surround pieces?

How is the rear of the transmission supported? there is a difference between 3
& 4 speeds. Does it look factory or makeshift?
