[Healeys] Number of Center-change BN7s

[Bob Haskell]

Robert,

The VINs for the first center shift cars are:
	BT7: 15881
	BN7: 16039
	Engine: 29E/2246

These numbers and those in my earlier email are from Anders Ditlev 
Clausager's book "Original Austin-Healey, the Restorer's Guide to 100, 
100-Six and 3000".

Cheers,

Bob Haskell
Austin Healey 3000 BN7/BT7 registrar
