<html><body>There is some mystery here, if this is not just a stuffed 100 with later six. Sitting off to the side in one of the photos is a 6-cylinder bonnet, so this engine could have come from another 100-6/3000 in their garage.<p>However, there were 4 BN3s produced. Patrick Quinn has BN3/1. History says, BN3/4 is in England, unrestored. All four cars were RHD. BN3/2 and BN3/3 are missing. So is the nomenclature on this vehicle.</p><p>Also the radiator was moved forward on the model to make room for the longer block. The 100 louvered bonnet is strange on this car, as on the other BN3s, a longer bonnet was created-and they were 4 seaters. This cars' radiator appears to be under the bonnet more than found on standard 100s.</p><p>Another questionable item is the center shift gearbox shown in one of the photos. It should probably be a side shifter.</p><p>You would have to start by removing all the leaves and sort thru the car to see if a shade tree modification had been done or if it looked more professional. We then might find the answer.</p><p>Never-the-less an interesting concept...adds to the Healey lore.
