As a proof-reader I have always obeyed the rule that, where a 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 England.
As an aside, I was told many years ago - and I don't recall by 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.

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.

G'day
The addition of a hyphen between Austin and Healey is a question that still
hasn't been suitably answered.
Attached is a short article and pics I wrote for the Oct-Dec 2015 issue of
the Australian Austin-Healey that might be of interest. I may be mistaken,
but on looking at original examples the BT7 Mk2 originally had a hyphen, but
with the introduction of the BJ7 it was deleted.
Badges available today do not have the hyphen.
