The last mention of this topic goes back at least 10 years. Does anyone have any new or updated information?

Good Day; I have accumulated considerable data on this conversion with a lot of it coming from Larry Varley's fantastic website at http://www.acmefluid...arry/index.html and http://www.acmefluid.com.au/larry/hhstory.html

 

Just what information are you after?

I'd like to determine how many of the conversions were actually built and sold. At the moment all I know for sure is that one went to Jim Fergusson of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, who was racing a 100S at the time. A head also went to Austin at Longbridge for testing. Patrick Quinn tells me that in the late "80's he corresponded with a guy in northern New England, USA who was advertising a converted BN2 for sale for $75,000. There was also mention in this forum of a conversion for sale in California in (I think) the '80's. I have a lead on possibly confirming the New England conversion but only time will tell. Can you add any more possibilities to my list?
