Gentlemen:

It has been my understanding that BN7 / BT7 was overlapped with the start of 
BJ7 production.

I am looking at Clausagers book on page 89, which gives beginning and ending 
VIN #s (and dates) for all 3000's. Assuming that this table is accurate, 
this is exactly why it is next to impossible to determine the number of top 
shift BN7's - because of the undetermined number of BJ7's interspersed. As 
Steve says, it would take someone to go through all of the individual 
production records during that period to get a more-or-less accurate count.

I recall (from many, many years ago) that a couple of knowledgeable tri-carb 
guru's best estimates of top shift BN7's was somewhere between 120 and 140 
of the total 355 built.

Matches Clausager's book:

Year    RHD      RHD       LHD     LHD
         home     export    export  NA
1961     25        2       53      134
1962      9        3        4      125
Total    34        5       57      259

Cheers,
