First things first, I don't think Carroll Shelby would agree to the
Car Brand "Austin-Ford-Healey-Shelby"  and even if he did the bonnet
badge-wing would have to have been increased in width another 4 inches
to accommodate the name.  Then they would have put the Cobra in the
middle of the badge, so the Cobra would look like it had wings, which
meant that the bonnet badge would have been 15 inches wide and looking
like a Pterodactyl.

After some sales success I'm sure Shelby would insist on changing the
name of the company to the "Shelby-Healey-Austin-Ford Transport
Company" or SHAFT for short, then they could reduce the width of the
bonnet badge back to normal width.  Yes, that would have been great to
keep the marque successful through at least the mid 70's, no?

oh by the way, for the benefit of you being upside down in Australia,
let me re-pen the above as follows:
