Gentlelmen,

I learned something about convertible tops; ones that are permanently
installed on the body but can be erected. Then there are the soft tops,
that I remember being called, that just button up when you want to.  I,
myself, have a BT7, which can be fitted with a soft top, not a truly
convert able top as in the later 3000 versions.  Thanks for all the
dialogue. I just have to figure out where to get one when the time
arises.

Hi
Perhaps we should redefine the term then, by saying a convertible is a
vehicle with a top that is fixed to the body AND quick and easy to erect.
That would make the BN2 a roadster again, wouldn't it. 
But I wonder what the rest of the world would think of this idea ??

Yep, frame is bolted to the, uh, frame by 6 bolts--3 on either side--and
is 'erectable' (not a word, but you get the idea).  Frame comes up easy
with a tug, then you spend the next half-hour buttoning it down.

Bob
That's too difficult, not fair ;-). Is the frame also fixed to the car?
Sorry for my ignorance, but BN2:s doesn't grow on trees over here. Admit
that there are a few around, but as I also always have seen them as
roadsters I've never thought about it.


Best regards, Per

So what is a BN2?  It has an erectable hood, and it's most definitely
fixed to the car (by 6 bolts)?  I always considered it a roadster, just
like my dad's Model A.










Gents
I think we have to get the definitions right. A convertible is a vehicle
that has a removable top, but the top is fixed to the car. Like the case
is with BJ7 and BJ8. The BT7 is a roadster, meaning that the top is
removable, and is not fixed to the vehicle. I suggest a simple Googling
on this and you will get the terms right.



Best regards, Per
