<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Micheal, although it doesn't answer why, it does appear
that there was a decision made at Austin/BMC or somewhere to do away with the
hyphen, I quick perusal of ebay Austin Healey advertisement shows the hyphen in
most of the fifties ads, it is gone in the sixties ads. So it doesn't
appear to be just a matter of the supplier forgetting to put it in on
later pieces.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_default style="COLOR: #3333ff">I think we have established that
there was probably no consistent change point from hyphenated to non-hyphenated
which seems to support the idea that after the decision to change was made the
stock of hyphenated badges was nevertheless used until exhausted.</DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_default style="COLOR: #3333ff">However my original question was
not "when" but rather "why" the switch was made. There must have been a
reason for making an affirmative decision to do something and I am genuinely
surprised that the reason has never been made known,</DIV>
