Somewhere along the line someone reproduced the Austin boot badge but a
mistake was made and it said Austin Healey Sprite.
I have one or 2 of these and they fit the Midget boot holes perfectly.
I had one on PIECES. At the time, back in the 80s, they were selling for
a buck each becaise they were no good for the Austin Sprites.
But a wrong badge is better than no badge.
At least that's what I was told when I first saw them 20 years ago and
bought a few for $1 each.
