Is a BJ7 a "Mark III" or a "Mark II?"<br>

Knowing Jensen, they could have used either badge in the change-over<br>
period. They used up old stock and or used what ever was at hand.<br>

The BJ7 badge had "Austin-Healey", and the BJ8 badge has it without<br>
the hyphen. There is only one part number in the BMC parts list for<br>
the BJ7 badge, and one for BJ8, so only empirical data would identify<br>
if there was a change point in the middle of the models. Previous<br>
discussions didn't surface anyone who had a BJ7 badge without the<br>
hyphen, or a BJ8 badge with it.<br>

Now that we are all focused on the badge I would like to put out a<br>
question--one that I have asked before and never received what seemed<br>
to have been a definitive answer:<br>
<br>
How and when did "Austin-Healey" as written on the earlier badges<br>
become "Austin Healey" as was done on the badges for later cars?<br>
<br>
Best--Michael Oritt<br>
