Old Rover Viking Bonnet Badge
Just bought this off ebay. Needs a good clean but will definitely be installed (somewhere) on the chariot once i get it shined up. Anyone know what car it's from and how old it is?
Here's the link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWN:IT&ih=006

Old Viking badge
Hi Brownie
Yes I have seen an identical one on ebay some time ago. Can't remember if I bid on it but it would have balanced up things if i could have mounted it on the other side of my grill. I have the mascot same as Christopher and Actros (Haven't got round to it yet though !)

May not be off of a rover car in production but may well be a club badge etc, lots of avenue's or off of a special or prototype, so keep looking dont give up mate.
