What to do with antique Rover badge?

smudge.g · 30th October 2017, 20:10

My other hobby after looking after my 75 is metal detecting and I found a nice old Rover badge, made of copper, in one of our local fields. Not sure from what model but would love to in corporate it somehow with my current Tourer. Any suggestions??

(ps its about 2.5/3in across)

Crikey, what's the odds on coming across something like that??

I think that it is a hubcap badge of a P4.

Probably came off a bicycle

Yes, looks like its from the hubcap of a P4 as mentioned, maybe made into a badge as it shouldnt have holes. Would probably look stupid on the front grill.

Yep I'd go with a P4 hubcap badge.

Don't think any of the bicycle badges were round:

That's nice with the black and gold/brass. Thanks Tam. I still havent thought whether I could use my badge on my present car, seems a waste to leave it in my man cave!
