Thanks for the data. I have a LHD BT7 tri-carb side-shift, Swedish German s=
pec Healey. As you probably know, there are several differences with the no=
rmal BT7.
Duel indicator, signal, brake lights, i.e. different front and rear shrouds=
and no light relay box.
Hex knock offs
Steering column lock with ign switch
Secondary transvers muffler ( BJ8 style but single unit)
Any guess as to how many of these German spec side shift tri-carbs were bui=
lt?

Hello
Where did the term =E2=80=98tri-power=E2=80=99 come from? Wasn=E2=80=99t it=
a term used by Pontiac when they fitted triple twin-barrel carburettors to=
their V8s during the 1950s and =E2=80=9860s?
Generally the colloquial term for the 3000 Mk2 Roadster is =E2=80=98tri-car=
b=E2=80=99 which available in either 2+2 (BT7) or 2 seater (BN7) configurat=
ion.
Now highly desirable, there were few Mk2 Roadsters built. Namely:-
BT7 LHD Side-shift 2,949
BT7 RHD Side-shift 206
BN7 LHD Side-shift 187
BN7 RHD Side-shift 27
BT7 LHD Centre-shift 1,834
BT7 RHD Centre-shift 98
BN7 LHD Centre-shift 129
BN7 RHD Centre-shift 12
I don=E2=80=99t know where the figure of 50 comes from but the above figure=
s are from Clausager=E2=80=99s book and they are repeated in the Anderson/M=
oment book.
Interestingly of the 12 RHD BN7s built with the centre-shift gearbox, five =
went to the Competitions Department and became rally cars. There are two or=
iginal RHD BN7s with centre-shift gearboxes in Australia. Also interesting =
is that the end of the Mk2 Roadster production overlapped with the beginnin=
g of the Mk2 Convertible production so both were being made at the same tim=
e and were also available at the same time from the showroom.

Indeed a rare and desirable car, but a quick review of the photos shows it =
is not so =E2=80=9Coriginal=E2=80=9D as claimed; I can find a number of thi=

I think they=E2=80=99re saying =E2=80=9Conly 50 MkII BN7s=E2=80=9D. Rather =
more than 50 centre shift MkII BT7s, of which I have one.
