<p dir="ltr">Len it's a convertible. Although in modern use any two seat convertible is called a roadster. My BN4 is a roadster. Door blends into front cowl without interruption of window vent or terminated dash.</p>

<div>Long ago, someone told me that my Healey was a roadster and I have been
calling it that ever since. My California registration certificate lists
the Body Type Model as "RD" (roadster?). Here is what my BL Heritage
certificate says:</div>

Mark III convertible".</div>

here)</div>

<div>A convertible has a retractible hood that is affixed to the car and roll
up windows. A roadster (which hardly ever has the top up!!) has a removable
hood, stowed in the rear, with side curtains. I am befuddled at the need
(desire?) to change everything. IMHO.</div>

<div>That's too difficult, not fair ;-). Is the frame
also fixed to the car? Sorry for my ignorance, but BN2:s doesn't grow on trees
over here. Admit that there are a few around, but as I also always have seen
them as roadsters I've never thought about it.</div>

<div>So what is a BN2? It has an erectable hood, and it's most
definitely fixed to the car (by 6 bolts)? I always considered it a
roadster, just like my dad's Model A.</div>

<div> </div>Gents<br>I think we have to get the definitions right. A
convertible is a vehicle that has a removable top, but the top is fixed to
the car. Like the case is with BJ7 and BJ8. The BT7 is a roadster, meaning
that the top is removable, and is not fixed to the vehicle. I suggest a
simple Googling on this and you will get the terms right.<br>
