Still somewhat of a rarity nowadays though what with rust and lamp posts taking their toll. Don't think I've ever seen one. UK. I've a Mk II BT7.....the two seats in the back are a waste of space and, indeed, the whole area behind the front seats was a waste
of space until I made a flat platform to have a luggage shelf in there. (Inspired by a something I read on this site).</div>

'AI' claims that 204 is less than 125:<br>

> I stumbled on this on my morning perusal of the web. I own a BN2/100M and a BJ8, and always thought that a tri-carb, center-shift roadster would be a great addition to my 'collection'--given that a 100S is way out of my pay grade--but, at this point just
keeping my two Healeys maintained and driven is all I can handle. IIRC, there were only 64 of these cars built with 3 carbs and a center-shift gearbox. Not shown are the wheels but I believe that a few came with steel disk wheels, and not having to maintain
three sets of wires would be a benefit IMO.<br>
