I think MGBs were call roadsters (removable top) and tourers (permanent
top) - just to add to the confusion. Different generation.
Then there's:
BN-1: two seater
BN-2: two seater
BN-4: four seater
BN-6: two seater
BN-7: two seater
BT-7: four seater
So, should it have been a BT-4 instead of BN-4? :)
Patrick - your BN-3 a two seater?
