My BN1 Sept 54 has Austin of England script on the boot. I have fitted the
reflector pods but do not believe this to be correct as they came in later.
I believe it was a R/H drive car delivered in Australia but I have never
worried about authenticating this as I know it has been here at least 35
years
I have seen a well known early BN1 here in Australia and it had a plastic
plate attached to the R/H kick panel in the footwell.(aluminium bonnet &
boot lids). My chassis was too butchered to have any i.d.plates attached
Cheers

G'day list
I've been doing a bit of work recently on a BN1 bought by an acquaintance
here
in Brisbane. The car is chassis no. BN1/221569, and the Heritage certificate
puts it as a Nov 1954 build. It has the oval, metal chassis plate attached
to
the LH footwell trim panel which, according to Anderson & Moment's book, is
right for that period. However, the car has no reflector pods on the rear
shroud, nor any evidence of them being fitted. Also it has the "Austin of
England" rather than "Austin Healey" boot badge. Both of these features
should, according to the restoration book, be present on a Nov 1954 car.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers
