Healey became Austin Healey at the 1952 Earls court Motor show after DMH
and Leonard Lord made a deal, and Roger Menadue made a new bonnet badge
overnight.
One can assume that since Austin already had a ready supply of Austin of
England badges, that these were just put on the boot lid since after all,
I'm certain Leonard Lord wanted everyone to know that while this "new car"
was an Austin Healey, it was also an Austin of England car. Exactly why
the change was made in early 1955, who knows. My guess is that by then,
the Austin Healey name was such a success and established, that it could
stand on its own...
One man's opinion.
