<div dir="ltr"><div>In Bill Emerson's Healey book, page 160 re: MK II BN7, he states at end of that section, "Of the 355 MK II BN7s produced, only 34 were right-hand drive and destined for the home market; an additional 5 right hand drive and 57 left-hand drive cars were produced for export to locations other than North America. The North American market received the remaining 259 cars. These cars are highly prized by their owners for their rarity and performance."</div><div><br></div><div>The Healey blue over OEW roadster pictured on that page, and next has to be an even rarer BN7 model. That car is equipped with steel wheels.</div><div><br></div><div>So, it makes sense that all the BN7s that came to the States were left-hand drive. We may be able to assume that Emerson's comprehensive book is quite accurate, although a few details have been found to be in error.</div><div><br></div><div>Neil Anderson</div><div><br></div><div> <br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_attr" dir="ltr">On Sat, Jun 20, 2020 at 7:55 AM ROBERT BROWN via Healeys <<a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;padding-left:1ex;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid"><div dir="auto">These numbers are for all BN7s.<div>How does one distinguish between the center shift and side shift MK IIs?</div><div>Just curious.<br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Jun 20, 2020, at 7:28 AM, HealeyRick <<a href="mailto:healeyrik@gmail.com" target="_blank">healeyrik@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">

<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Patrick for your quick reply. I've seen numbers of 354 and 355 with the 355 number seeming to be the correct<div> one.
