<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="ecxgmail_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="ecxgmail_default" style="COLOR:#3333ff;"><br></div>
<div class="ecxgmail_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>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="COLOR:#3333ff;"><br></div>
<div class="ecxgmail_default" style="COLOR:#3333ff;">Any thoughts here?</div>
