Hi
OK, so my nice badge on the shelf would be wrong for my car then,
because I have a MkII BT7.
Let's see if there is anyone with an unhyphened original badge on a BT7,
as well as anyone that have a hyphened badge on a BJ8 or BJ7. Please
speak up if you feel that your car fits in here.
Best regards, Per
