[Healeys] 3000 Mk III cloisonne front badge

[J. Scott Morris]

Good Day Michael;  Attached is a file I have regarding this topic.  Included is a table of results of the survey done by Ed Kaler back in 2008.  
Hope this helps. --Scott Morris; Simcoe, Ontario, Canada             - Keep Smiling, Murphy Lives

 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?

Again, thanks to all who replied to my post re: BJ8 front badge!  I now have changed my mind (or whats left of it!) and think I will go with the painted badge look, using my original.  I do love the look of the cloisonne, but...my 40045 probably was either painted or "all chrome" to begin with.  The background is not brass colored or pebbly and the script top edges are rounded so back to Chris Collins at High Point Body and Paint for a professional job.  He did my recent total paint job and the results were extra fine!  Yes, that was a shameless plug for Chris.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] 3000 Mk III cloisonne front badge For a component that is easily replaced it's hard to say 50+ years later what was original.  But the evidence I've collected in the BJ8 Registry for 8,788 BJ8s (49.6% of total production), says that the painted or all-chrome badges were used throughout production.  The parts manual is no help because only two part numbers are given:  one for BJ7 and one for BJ8.  I always thought the "all-chrome" badges were simply ones for which the paint had flaked or worn off, but some claim their cars had them from new. Anyway, the painted badges in general began to appear consistently about chassis 39XXX but like so many such changes it was not done cleanly so both painted/chrome and vitreous enamel continued together after that point.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] 3000 Mk III cloisonne front badge 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 original was painted, not cloisonne. I don't know on what car #  they changed to painted.

Failing all of that, I'll just get her repainted!GaryB
