G'day Steve
Sometimes I wonder how much useful trivia a bloke can fit into his head.
What is interesting is that there is no clear demarcation date between the
end of the BT7 Mk2 and the beginning of the BJ7. The first BJ7 was built in
January 1962 and the last BT7 Mk2 was built in June 1962. So we had a
situation that both roadster and convertible Austin-Healey 3000s were being
built at the same time and it's possible to have a BT7 Mk2 that has a more
recent build date than a BJ7. This was a boon to the sales staff as it
allowed them to offer prospective buyers the choice of both.
So it doesn't surprise me that a BJ7 was fitted with a hyphenated badge.
Is there a clear point when the hyphen was deleted? Yes I think there was,
but heavens knows when, but it's probably down to a buying clerk
somewhere/sometime who slipped up on the order and then it became too late
to do anything about it.
Best wishes

Patrick, I have an original Mk II badge (from BJ7 20111, BMC assembly date
26 June - 5 July 1962) that has the hyphen (photo attached). I suppose it's
possible the badge was intended for a BT7 Mk II but got installed on a BJ7
instead; but at least this one data point would suggest that one can't say
for certain that the loss of the hyphen occurred with BJ7 production.

G'day
The addition of a hyphen between Austin and Healey is a question that still
hasn't been suitably answered.
Attached is a short article and pics I wrote for the Oct-Dec 2015 issue of
the Australian Austin-Healey that might be of interest. I may be mistaken,
but on looking at original examples the BT7 Mk2 originally had a hyphen, but
with the introduction of the BJ7 it was deleted.
Badges available today do not have the hyphen.
