<p>I believe the Pontiac Bonneville was the originator. I once
owned a '63 Bonneville hardtop TriPower. Paid all of $600 for
it. Spent the first Saturday going thru the carburetor linkage to
get it to work right; it's a progressive setup. When I got it
done, it was fun to drive. Got pretty good mileage until you put
your foot down, and then all those carb barrels were hooked
directly to the fuel gage. This was pre-stereo days, so it had a
reverb system on the radio, which basically put a slight delay to
the rear speakers. Boy, was I cool! Sold it a couple years later
as it needed mufflers and brakes, for $600.</p>

of the 12 RHD BN7s built with the centre-shift gearbox, five
went to the Competitions Department and became rally cars.
There are two original RHD BN7s with centre-shift gearboxes
in Australia. Also interesting is that the end of the Mk2
Roadster production overlapped with the beginning of the Mk2
Convertible production so both were being made at the same
time and were also available at the same time from the
showroom.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
