Hello,

Seen a few torpedo badges for sale. Does anyone know what would be considered a fair price for these? Either '2.0 Litre' or '2.0 CDT' is what I had in mind.

As they're still available Brand New for £18, not sure that I'd pay more than £4.50 for an old one that's been peeled off a car! :shrug:

Paid about ten pounds for a pair last year.

Good enough for us. Good value.

Normally available on ebay

or a trip to your local scrappy might find what you want at a lower cost.

And as previously mentioned still available new, just depends on what you want :shrug:.

The CDT version of the badge is very rare, doubt Rimmers still stock them. Most owners will fit a 2 Litre badge as an alternative.

Both Rimmers and Xpart are showing stock, so probably not as rare as you thought! ;)

Traditionally these badges have been unobtainable even though these sites advertise as in stock.

That CDT fitting is rare, believe me. ;)

'Dattrike' has very generously sent me his spare set of 2.0 CDT torpedo's for my car, complete with near impossible to move double sided tape. How lovely. My faith in humanity has been fully restored! Used the money saved to become a fully paid up member with the 75 & ZT Club, and I shall be making a donation to a suitable charity box as suggested.
Thanks very much, I'm over the moon :)
