As WWII was winding down a secret British commando group infiltrated several German rocket bases and kidnaped a number of top scientists. These men were put to work in the design departments of several English auto manufacturing firms. Their assignment was to put fasteners (bolts, nuts, screws, etc.) where it was physically impossible to get a tool on them. As one who owned 2 Jags and an Austin Healy I can attest to their success.
Those scientists married, reproduced and passed their skills on to their children. Those children now work for US automakers and have moved from hiding nuts to quality control. They too have been very successful.

Accessibility actually improved some between the BN7 and the last of the breed, the BJ8. I always believed that the BN7 was a makeshift model transition trying to bridge between the 100-6 and the 3000. Everything fit, but just barely. But, man, the BN would fly on top-end. The only thing that could stay in my rear view mirror was a Porche ...not even the highway patrol.
