[Healeys] BN1 changes

[Peter Linn]

G'day list

I've been doing a bit of work recently on a BN1 bought by an acquaintance here
in Brisbane. The car is chassis no. BN1/221569, and the Heritage certificate
puts it as a Nov 1954 build. It has the oval, metal chassis plate attached to
the LH footwell trim panel which, according to Anderson & Moment's book, is
right for that period. However, the car has no reflector pods on the rear
shroud, nor any evidence of them being fitted. Also it has the "Austin of
England" rather than "Austin Healey" boot badge. Both of these features
should, according to the restoration book, be present on a Nov 1954 car.
Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers
