According to my BMIHT certificate, my BN7 (mfg 26-29 Sept 1960) was a Healey
Blue disc wheel car without heater and overdrive. Interestingly, an
adjustable steering column was fitted. When it was restored in 1989 (not by
me) it was given wires wheels, a heater, overdrive and a standard column.

I'm wondering, were the heaters even an option on 3000s or were they just
part of the standard equipment?
