[Healeys] 100 "M" on BAT question

[Curtis Arndt]

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,
