<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont">OK...let's try and clear this up. As I understand it, the "flat wings with the Austin-Healey script" commonly seen on BN1, BN2 and (I don't know when it stopped), had red paint of unknown
shade in the etched out lettering. Along came the larger badges with MKII or whatever, in
<span style=" font-family: "times new roman", "new york", times, serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 16px">
cloisonne</span>. THEN, to really screw us up, those badges returned to red paint of unknown shade, seemingly during BJ8 production. As was true with almost everything involving our cars, the exact change VIN number for all of this is largely indeterminate,
at least as far as trim pieces are concerned...oh, and some major body parts, like wings with one or two signaling lights, swag lines, whatever. Reliable reports (from D.M.H.!) state that the guiding principle in assembling our cars was "use up what was
on hand".</div>
