[Healeys] BN1 or BN2

[Randy Hicks]

The Austin-Healey Concours Registry has determined that the  “swag” line appeared between Body #’s 11555 & Body # 11868.

As the cars were not produced in strict numerical sequence, the build dates would be established between Dec. 18, 1955 and Jan. 9, 1956.

The Concours Registry would like to tie this down further, so, if you have a car that falls within these dates/body #, please email me directly.

Thanks.

Randy
