Hello
=20
I saw that car online a few months back and I=E2=80=99m afraid =
it=E2=80=99s not one a BN3, missing or not.
=20
Look closely at the footwells and you will see that they are 100/6 or =
3000. Yes it does have a centre shift box and a much later 3000 engine.
=20
My car is BN3/1 and it is also the first 2+2 while BN3/4 has been =
restored and is in the Healey Museum in the Netherlands. BN3/4 while =
nine inches longer is not a 2+2, but is a very interesting car with a de =
Dion rear end and front suspension attached to a sub-frame. BN3/1 is =
built on a pre-production chassis and is fitted with standard 100 panels =
including bonnet albeit with louvres.=20
=20
Logic tells me that if there is a BN3/1 and a BN3/4, there is likely to =
be a BN3/2 and BN3/3, but neither has never surfaced.

There is some mystery here, if this is not just a stuffed 100 with later =
six. Sitting off to the side in one of the photos is a 6-cylinder =
bonnet, so this engine could have come from another 100-6/3000 in their =
garage.
However, there were 4 BN3s produced. Patrick Quinn has BN3/1. History =
says, BN3/4 is in England, unrestored. All four cars were RHD. BN3/2 =
and BN3/3 are missing. So is the nomenclature on this vehicle.
Also the radiator was moved forward on the model to make room for the =
longer block. The 100 louvered bonnet is strange on this car, as on the =
other BN3s, a longer bonnet was created-and they were 4 seaters. This =
cars' radiator appears to be under the bonnet more than found on =
standard 100s.
Another questionable item is the center shift gearbox shown in one of =
the photos. It should probably be a side shifter.
You would have to start by removing all the leaves and sort thru the car =
to see if a shade tree modification had been done or if it looked more =
professional. We then might find the answer.
Never-the-less an interesting concept...adds to the Healey lore. Hank
