I agree, a Kurt Tanner BN2 for $40,000 ? Believe it was an older restoration
and in my humble opinion, not the best color, but surprised it did not pull more.
Just saw a special silver and red BN7 go for $62,000 but that was not a Kurt
Tanner car.

Some early BN2's had the same rear fenders as the BN1.

John Wheatley's has one of each, from the factory. His dilema was whether or not he should make them both the same upon restoration. In the end, he left them the way the car came from the factory.

Unless I'm mistaken, he was the car's sole owner, and knew its complete history.
 
Early BN2's had no rear fender swage line aft of the rear wheel arch until the earlier pressings were used up. The later style rear swage line began showing on the production cars about mid October of '55, well into BN2 production.

Re John Wheatley's car, I believe it was the front fenders that differed left to right on his very original one owner car, not the rears. Wheatleys car dates from spring of 1954 when they were playing with the front wing pressings to try to firm up that almost flat big expanse of unsupported metal under the spear cutouts.
