Hello,

I have a question for the group regarding the Austin-Healey.

Is the car considered a drophead coup=C3=A9, a roadster, or both? Specifica=
lly,
are the earlier cars with side curtains considered roadsters, and the later
cars with roll-up windows considered drophead coup=C3=A9s?

Thanks for your input,
Harold

<div>The official <span style=3D"text-decoration: underline;">AustinService=
 Parts List Explanatory</span> lists all vehicle configurations used in the=
 naming of the various car body styles:</div>
<div>N=3D 2-seat Tourer</div>

<div>J=3D Convertible</div>
<div>P=3D Hardtop</div>
<div>H=3D Hearse</div>
<div>D=3D Coupe</div>
<div>etc.</div>
<div>There is no mention of a drophead coupe or coupe in =
relation to an Austin Healey as they use N, T or J designations. (One =
exception is the Donald Healey special "Coupe" ONX113 which is on a BN1 =
chassis)</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>However read my article in the<em> =
Austin-Healey Magazine</em> and try to figure out why the first 100-6 built=
 is titled BN4 when it is actually a four seat car (Tourer). Often the term=
 "roadster" is used to describe these cars by various DMVs. Regards, =

"Why is there a BN4" in the book<em> Austin-Healey Milestones,</em> Volume =

<div>The "convertible" designation from the Austin Design Office is "J"...=
that is due to the top (hood) being fixed at the rear, rather than the take=
 off style hood. The rear seat designation-no matter how small is a "T" for=
 Tourer as they did not consider the car a two seater "N" denotion. Side =
Screens or roll-ups were not considered a factor in the naming. Why a taxi =
has an "X" designation can only be contributed to the wry British humor. =
Who would want to refer to the BJ8 as a "BJT8"?&nbsp; =

Perusing the internet and several British marques such as RR, Jaguar, Lotus,=
 a drophead coupe is a two door, four seater with a fold down top that stows=
 behind the rear seat.
A roadster has a removable top that is dismantled and stored, as in a trunk.=
