car or truck or motorcycle produced as a joint venture by two organisations, the
name is hyphenated to indicate that fact. The only Austin Healey (without
a hyphen) that I know of used to play rugby football for <st1:country-region

whom - that the dropping of the hyphen may have been an administrative goof from
the BMC Purchasing Office on a long production run, too costly to re-tool with
the hyphen. That may be an urban myth, but it does make for interesting
speculation over a few beers.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=2 face=Consolas><span lang=EN-US
style='font-size:11.0pt'>Patrick, I have an original Mk II badge (from BJ7
20111, BMC assembly date 26 June - 5 July 1962) that has the hyphen (photo
attached). I suppose it's possible the badge was intended for a BT7 Mk II
but got installed on a BJ7 instead; but at least this one data point would
suggest that one can't say for certain that the loss of the hyphen occurred
with BJ7 production. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
