Allen -
Sorry to dissapoint you but they never made the roll up window
convertibles (BJ7s or BJ8s) in a two seat version.
You should get a BJ8 for your wife... it has the easiest & best
braking system (for BJ8s, servo brakes are standard). The centre
change gearbox is very good as well. For me, the early BJ8s are my
favorite ('63s - '64s)... i.e. the ones with the combined
brake/turnsignal lights... but others may have other opinions on this.
I don't know if this means anything, but I think my BJ8 is just as
windy as my BN1 (rolling windows up helps a little, but not much)...
so if your wife is worried about her hair, no healey will make any
difference... her hair will be a mess any way you cut it. If her main
worry is her hair, tell her to wear a hat and drive a BN7!!.
Cheers,
Alan
'53 BN1 '64 BJ8
