And I still have a question to which no one seems to have a
definitive answer: Why (not when) did "Austin-Healey"
become "Austin Healey"?

I've heard various theories including the one where the supplier made a
mistake and the factory took them at a discount and changed the company
name but that really makes little sense.

Does anyone *really* know the reason?
