Hyphens cost money and the BMC beancounters had them removed.

Thanks for your reply but I don't think that is it. Certainly at one point A-H
was correct and somewhere along the way it changed so that all later cars lost
the hyphen. I simply wonder why and am quite surprised that there is not a
known explanation.

Hi
I have always thought that the unhyphened badges of, at least, MkIIs and
MkIIIs, have been aftermarket , but maybe I'm mistaken. I have a worned out
original badge on my MkII, with a hyphen, and a brand new unhyphened badge on
the shelf. I hesitate to replace it, for origanality sakes. I'm not a 100
percent for originality, I have several things on my car that is not original,
but I'm serious when it comes to badges.

not seem likley to me.
