Tourer Rear Badges (Mk.1 & Mk.2)

humphshumphs · 12th August 2022, 08:32

Hi All,

Long time no post. Been nearly 5 years since my beloved 75 tourer died with massive engine failure (Thanks again to Trikey for confirming it dead).

As some of you may know, for quite a while I used to produce replacement badges for the Mk.1 Tourer (which you can't get without spending a fortune on a rear plinth as well), and I also produced a few Mk.2 ones as well.

I am thinking of 're-tooling' again to produce a new run of these. I need to 're-tool' as it's probably been 6 or 7 years since I produced the last run, so before spending time (and money) getting everything in place, it would be good to know how many people would be interested again in buying them.

Aiming for a price of £9.95 each including UK postage, with worldwide shipping available for a bit extra (again, once I know areas etc., I would let you know the extra costs).

Cheers all, and have a a good day

Hi Richard.
Your old thread is still running, it may save you time for members to just pick up from there, once you know the numbers, i bet there are a few discoloured tourer badges on car out there.

Wow - just looked and it's dated July 2017 - Long time ago.

Hopefully I'll get a few people want them, but have to wait and see

That's the date when I started the thread - so yes a whole decade ago.

I purchased one of your badges many years ago and it still looks good

Any chance of you running off any more Mk 1 please as they seem to have vanished from the face of the earth? Obviously very happy to pay more than the original price asked. Many thanks.

Another happy customer for the MK1 badge. Mine has not altered one little bit. I would like another rear one for my 2.5 MK1 Connie Saloon please.

I still have a very small number of Mk.1 badges for the saloon (plinth fit), and an even smaller number of the Mk.1 badges for the tourer.
