<div style="color:black;font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm fairly certain that there was not a carry over of the old front guards on the BN2.
<div> I will say that at a west coast meet many years ago, the judges in Concours where having a hard time trying to figure out why a 100 was sitting so oddly in the grass field. A view of each side of the car seemed to suggest a bent frame or something unusual. The owner had paid big bucks and lots of time to have the car restored so things should have been on track for a high point car. </div>
<div>After some (plenty) discussion it was a decided that an otherwise Gold level car had an early guard on one side and the later BN2 guard on the other side. Needless to say there were a few points deducted and a very dejected owner....</div>
<div>At every car event I attend since then, I walk around the 100's in attendance and compare the front guards with the span of my hand.. </div>

<div>Yes, I forgot that the presence or not of the sledge line is not a reliable indicator</div>

<div>I wonder if any BN2's were built with the BN1 style front fender--with the smaller wheel opening and lower sledge? is the location of the OD and ignition/OD switches more reliable an indicator?</div>

<div style="color:#3333ff;">My 12/54 car #222333 is definitely a BN1 so if the s/n you have is accurate it should unquestionably be a BN1.</div>
<div style="color:#3333ff;">There are a number of points of differentiation between the two models, some of which would be rather expensive to fudge from an earlier BN1 to a BN2--is there a swedge line in the rear fenders?</div>

<div>Further to the questions on the disc brake conversion, there is now a bit of confusion about what model this 100 is.<u></u><u></u></div>
<div>The VIN appears to be B222066. The question is – is it a BN1 or a BN2. Unfortunately there have been some modifications to the car in it’s earlier years which really cloud it’s true model.
