By now the engine capacity had risen to 2912cc and the power output to 124bhp - sufficient to grace the standard car with a 0-60mph time of 11.4 seconds and a top speed of 114mph. There was the option of Laycock de Normanville overdrive for the four-speed gearbox and braking had been improved by the adoption of discs at the front. There were two body options - a two-seater (BN7) or an occasional four-seater (BT7). By the time the MkI 3000 was superseded by the MkII in 1961, a total of 2,825 BN7s and 10,825 BT7s had been produced. More information to follow:
