Hello
=20
Where did the term =E2=80=98tri-power=E2=80=99 come from? Wasn=E2=80=99t =
it a term used by Pontiac when they fitted triple twin-barrel =
carburettors to their V8s during the 1950s and =E2=80=9860s?=20
=20
Generally the colloquial term for the 3000 Mk2 Roadster is =
=E2=80=98tri-carb=E2=80=99 which available in either 2+2 (BT7) or 2 =
seater (BN7) configuration.
=20
Now highly desirable, there were few Mk2 Roadsters built. Namely:-
=20
BT7 LHD Side-shift 2,949
BT7 RHD Side-shift 206
BN7 LHD Side-shift 187
BN7 RHD Side-shift 27
=20
BT7 LHD Centre-shift 1,834
BT7 RHD Centre-shift 98
BN7 LHD Centre-shift 129
BN7 RHD Centre-shift 12
=20
I don=E2=80=99t know where the figure of 50 comes from but the above =
figures are from Clausager=E2=80=99s book and they are repeated in the =
Anderson/Moment book.
=20
Interestingly of the 12 RHD BN7s built with the centre-shift gearbox, =
five went to the Competitions Department and became rally cars. There =
are two original RHD BN7s with centre-shift gearboxes in Australia. Also =
interesting is that the end of the Mk2 Roadster production overlapped =
with the beginning of the Mk2 Convertible production so both were being =
made at the same time and were also available at the same time from the =
showroom.

Indeed a rare and desirable car, but a quick review of the photos shows =
it is not so =E2=80=9Coriginal=E2=80=9D as claimed; I can find a number =
of things that are not correct.

I think they=E2=80=99re saying =E2=80=9Conly 50 MkII BN7s=E2=80=9D. =
Rather more than 50 centre shift MkII BT7s, of which I have one.
