Michael,
Repos of the original were made about ten years ago as key fobs. I have one
and haven't seen any for sale in quite awhile.
I have noticed at Conclaves people have used them on their hardtops. You can
tell because they always have file marks where the key fob loop was removed.
Never knew it was only a BJ7/BJ8 item until now.
I'll still take two to add to my extensive collection of Austin-Healey
"stuff."

Interestingly I have what I believe is an original of this badge, but has a
rectangular loop on the top to attach it to a key ring fob.
The key ring fob itself is the cheapest nastiest red plastic item you have
ever seen.
The badge is 25 mm wide and 30 mm high not including the key ring loop.
I was of the understanding that a reproduction of this key fob has been
made.
Anyone know if a> This is the original badge?
b> If repros have been made?
