I seem to remember this coming up many years ago.
The best definitions seem to be that the early Healeys are roadsters
whereas the BJ7 and BJ8 are convertibles, which are also often referred to
as 'drop head coupes' in the world of Jaguars etc.

Gents<br>I think we have to get the definitions right. A convertible is a v=
