Thanks for the info. Overall, a relatively rare model. I think the
smaller number I recalled may be the number of center-shift,
tri-carb roadsters with disk wheels, anyone know if that was noted
on a BMIHT cert?<br>

Actually the last BN7 was a center-shift AND a tri-carb. All of
the last side-screen roadsters were center shift, be they
dual or—later and last as of late 1961–triple carb. But most of
the six-cylinder Healeys, including the tri-carbs and center-shift
examples, were two-plus-two. Top sources give 355 as the number of
two-seat-only BN7s with three SUs. <br>

<div> If I'm not mistaken--which I am a lot--the last of the
BN7s were centre-shift but were dual carburettor, making the
tri-carb, centre-shift BN7 one of the rarer Healeys. The
numbers bandied-about put the production somewhere between
the 100S and the 100M, no? I think the cars that came with
steel disk wheels were a subset of those; that's why I
thought one would be a great car to own.<br>

<div>A Mark II BN7 with a center shift is indeed a rare

morning and came up with an estimate of how many might
exist.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The BN7 center shift was introduced in November
1961 and discontinued in March 1962, which means there
were only four months of production. In 1962, 129
left-hand drive (LHD) versions were made. If we assume
a similar production rate for the last two months of
1961 as the first two months of 1962, the total
estimated number would be around 258. This might be a
slightly high estimate, as the production rate seemed
to increase towards the end of the run.</div>

Still somewhat of a rarity nowadays though what

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

front seats was a waste of space until I made a
flat platform to have a luggage shelf in there.

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>
