G'day Mike

Yes Virginia there is a BN3. In fact the world is awash with BN3s, all two
of them.

The last time I looked there was BN3/1 in my garage and BN4/4 is at the
Healey Museum in the Netherlands. However they are very different cars.

And yes while N does mean a two seater, the BN3/1, besides being the first
six-cylinder Austin-Healey built, is a four seater and in fact the first
four seat Austin-Healey.
