Ken,
The changeover from Austin of England to Austin Healey occurred in early
Jan of 1955, contrary to the popular misconception that it occurred in the
Fall of 1954.
We have many very original BN1s from this time period with the Austin of
England badge. This is noted in the AH Concours Guidelines.
*This car is 222889 and has a body no. of 7149 , built 14 Jan. '55 *
*My car is 222664 and has a body no. of 7197, built 11 Jan. '55 has the
Austin of England badge from new. *
Michael Oritt has emailed that his car no. 222333 built Dec. '54 has this
badge.
Car no. 222764, an 18K original mile Spruce Green BN1 also has the Austin
of England badge from new.
Car no. 221342, body no. 6046 an OEW BN1 also has the Austin of England
badge from new.
Car no. 221862, body no. 6777 a Carmine red with red interior BN1 also has
the Austin of England badge from new.
Car no. 222344, body no. 7085 an OEW BN1 with 19K original miles also has
the Austin of England badge from new. I am friends with the second and
current owner who knew the original owner!
The evidence is overwhelming. If you suspect that your car from this time
period (Jan. '55) had the Austin of England boot badge, get in touch with
me. We do know that by Feb. 18, 1955, the Austin Healey boot badge was
being used, so the change occurred between Jan. 14 and Feb. 14 1955!
Cheers,
Curt
AH Concours Registry Technical Committee.
