[Healeys] Tri-Carb

[Patrick and Caroline Quinn]

G'day Bob

Mk2 BN7s with a centre shift gearbox were far more common than 64. There were 141 made, of which 12 were RHD and 129 LHD. Five of the RHD cars didn't leave Abingdon as they became Works Rally 3000s.

I stumbled on this on my morning perusal of the web. I own a BN2/100M and a BJ8, and always thought that a tri-carb, center-shift roadster would be a great addition to my 'collection'--given that a 100S is way out of my pay grade--but, at this point just keeping my two Healeys maintained and driven is all I can handle. IIRC, there were only 64 of these cars built with 3 carbs and a center-shift gearbox. Not shown are the wheels but I believe that a few came with steel disk wheels, and not having to maintain three sets of wires would be a benefit IMO.

Please note I have no financial interest in this car, don't know the owner, and know nothing beyond what's on the website, but it sure looks like a really nice car (possibly with a recent resto). Benecia is in the north SF Bay Area.
