I've become interested in the latest "M" offered up on BAT the appears to b=
e on a replacement BN1 chassis. There could be soooo many discussion points=
, but I'm interested to see if anyone knows when (car # point) the front in=
ner fenders lost the pressed stiffening detail? My April 54' BN1 has them, =
and my May 56' doesn't.  Possible for a "M" to have them from the factory?

I can't seem to find any info in my concours guidelines or any other resour=
ce publications I own.
TIA, Shawn

This is documented in an article I submitted to the Concours Registry some
years ago but was summarily rejected as not being worthy of publication.*
"Austin Healey BN1/2 Quick Reference Concours Chart of Production Changes
by Chassis, Engine and Body Numbers."*

As such, I've attached a pdf copy.

As for your question, my research indicates that the changeover took place
around Oct. to Nov. 1955, early in BN2 production. See the photo in my
article referencing... *BN2 no. 13340 w/out front inner fender stiffening
ridges.*

Cheers,
