This is interesting trivia!
I've never seen an Austin Healey Sprite (certainly 948's and 1100's) with a h=
yphen on their bonnet badges. But my collection of Sprite owners handbooks, s=
pecial tuning, schedule of workshop hours etc handbooks all have the hyphen.=
But there's no hyphen on the cover of the Workshop manuals....
I just think it's a BMC consistency control issue.......
I also had a very quick look at some trademark databases. The most recent "A=
ustin Healey" and "Austin-Healey" trademark holders - British Motor Heritage=
Limited / Nanjing / SAIC - appear to have/ had both variants as registered t=
rademarks at various times.=20
So I'm guessing it's a bigger deal to us than it ever was to Austin / BMC - t=
hey probably had both variants trademarked too, so it didn't matter.=20
So - was Jensen Healey always hyphenated or not??=20
;-)

The BJ7 badge had "Austin-Healey", and the BJ8 badge has it without<br>
the hyphen. There is only one part number in the BMC parts list f=
or<br>
the BJ7 badge, and one for BJ8, so only empirical data would identify<br>

Now that we are all focused on the badge I would like to put out a<br>
question--one that I have asked before and never received what seemed<br>

<br>
How and when did "Austin-Healey" as written on the earlier badges<br>
become "Austin Healey" as was done on the badges for later cars?<br>
