[Healeys] 3000 Mk III cloisonne front badge

[Michael Oritt]

When I replied just a few minutes ago to Steve Byer's message I did not
view the full string of messages and I see fromold posts attached to Ed
Kaler's message/site that I have been asking this same question since
2001--which is pretty interesting given that I often tend to forget what
seemed important just a few minutes earlier.

In any case though I know this issue hardly rises to the level of important
it is a curious occurrence.  I can understand how badges got used out of
sequence, but since the name "Austin'Healey" was an established brand and
probably protected under UK and/or worldwide patent-trademark laws it makes
me wonder why BMC would have intentionally changed the name of its product,
albeit only by the omission of a dash.

Best--Michael Oritt
