Well, not by my understanding. By Webster the 100-4 and BN6 and BN7 would be roadsters. So what would you call all the other models - convertibles? Whether roadster or convertible had nothing to do with the number of seats for a big Healey. Roadsters had a removable top with frame (100-4, BN4, BN6, BN7) and convertibles had the top frame attached to the car (BJ7, BJ8). My .02

I always thought the 'roadsters'--mainly, the 'N' series--were two-seaters (by definition): https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=roadster+definition+english Where are the back seats in a BNX? Bob

Not sure what you mean by the 2+2s. The convertibles and roadsters are both 2+2. ????? Keith

Just happened to stumble across this today:

Seems to be a real price delta between roadsters and 2+2s
