[Healeys] Convertible Top.

[Bob Haskell]

I think MGBs were call roadsters (removable top) and tourers (permanent 
top) - just to add to the confusion.  Different generation.

Then there's:
	BN-1: two seater
	BN-2: two seater
	BN-4: four seater
	BN-6: two seater
	BN-7: two seater
	BT-7: four seater

So, should it have been a BT-4 instead of BN-4? :)

Patrick - your BN-3 a two seater?

Cheers,
