Curt--
I was referring to the dropping of the hyphen when the badging, and name,
changed from "Austin-Healey" to "Austin Healey". I believe this was some
time around the release of BN/BT 7's but may be wrong on that.
In any case changing a car's badging/logo, much less the brand's formal
name is, to my mind, much too big a deal to lay at the feet of a supplier's
mistake.
