Now that we are all focused on the badge I would like to put out a
question--one that I have asked before and never received what seemed to
have been a definitive answer:
How and when did "Austin-Healey" as written on the earlier badges become
"Austin Healey" as was done on the badges for later cars?

Hi Gary, If your BJ8 is a very late model the badge may have been painted. =
I used to own car 43014 and learned in a concourse showing that the origina=
l was painted, not cloisonne. I don't know on what car # =C2=A0they cha=
nged to painted. Aloha, Jim</p>
