BN1: Body Hardware & Chrome Pt 1

[@bert58]

I am very impressed about the originallity of your restoration and the eye for detail. That made me wonder : After my 1954 BN1 was painted I had a discussion about the dash vent and the Escutcheon fitted onto it (the loose items on the top of the demister outlets.) As I was told they were not original until the BN4. But after painting, not fitting them would have meant repaint the dashtop, because of the 4 small holes. I was wondering if I was mis informed or on a very early BN1 like yours they were used. Keep up the video's, amazing to watch.

The demister escutcheons on 100's were painted with the body, later 6 cyl. Healeys had them painted to match the vinyl dash top panels they were installed to.

Nice to see it back in the shop Geoff. I'll swing by one day when there's not so much snow. Cheers

Hi Geoff, beautiful as always. Is you Austin of England badge original or a replacement? I have been struggling to find one that has the stippling on the background. The replacements I have seen are too flat and don't have a nice stipple.

Thanks, and yes, that is my original badge - even original chrome on it that polished up beautifully.
