Those "Aussie bastards" are like us "Poms" - they drive on the wrong side of the road! So no left hand drive cars

Scuse the language but thats how we speak to each other!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif

Re: BN4_2Porthead Longbridge Registry

Patton - That is interesting the BN4L-O-31472, is not included in Patrick's detailed listing. The build date does appear to be correct for the period. His listing included only BN4-O-31157, BN4-O-42779, and BN4L-O-32920. He compiled the data based on the details from the AU Yearbook for over the last 25 yrs. You would have thought that it would have popped up during that period. Just another Healey trivia mystery waiting to be solved.

Re: BN4_2Porthead Longbridge Registry

Another interesting item just appeared on Ebay # 4590752192 - 1957 Austin Healey 100-6 located in Victoria, BC, Canada - Does anyone know anything about this car? The reg # is listed as BN4L-O-28588. Which makes the car supposedly a 1956 Longbridge car which should have 2 HD4 SUs and Drum brakes, but somebody converted it to the 2 HD6 SUs with the 6 port head and put on front disc brakes. Could it be a possible factory early test model or just another Healey trivia mystery waiting to be solved.

Re: BN4_2Porthead Longbridge Registry

IT IS OFFICIAL - LEN IS Not a TURKEY
I just received from Len a preliminary list of BN4 club members with email addresses, so I can begin to contact them directly to see if they would participate in the Longbridge_2porthead Registry.
We should be busy over the Holidays!!! If you know of any BN4 owners with cars with the Longbridge 2porthead, please have them contact me at BN4_2porthead@hotmail.com
Have a Great Thanksgiving!!!
