Austin-Healey 1100 — Front Hood Badge (1968)

The Austin-Healey 1100 (also badged as the Austin 1100 or Morris 1100 depending on market) was part of the ADO16 range. The Austin-Healey branded version was primarily a New Zealand market variant.

Confirm the following before sourcing:

  • Whether this is the ADO16-based 1100 (the front-wheel-drive saloon)
  • The market the car originates from (NZ, UK, Australia)
  • Whether the badge is on the bonnet (hood) itself or the grille/front panel

Vehicle & Part Overview

The front badge on ADO16-based Austin 1100s typically used:

  • Winged "Austin" script badge on the bonnet
  • Grille badge with marque-specific branding

For an Austin-Healey badged ADO16 variant, the badge would carry the Austin-Healey script or wings motif — these are genuinely rare pieces.

Fitment & Sourcing Notes

Scarcity warning: Austin-Healey badged ADO16 parts — especially NZ-market specific trim — are genuinely scarce. NOS examples occasionally surface on Trade Me (New Zealand's eBay equivalent).
  • Consider contacting a New Zealand Austin 1100 club directly for leads on correct trim pieces
  • Specialist breakers familiar with NZ-market BMC variants are likely to be the most reliable source for correct badging
