1965 Vitesse6 Badges

[Vitesse6]

hi, I finally want to get around to getting the correct badges on my Vitesse 6, does anyone have a pic of the correct ones for this car.
In particular I would like to know what should go behind the fuel cap, is is a short bar or flags? Also on the wings.

Many thanks

short bar should say vitesse 6 on the boot lid 

[foshi]

know the number 6 and small piece of chrome trim can be hard to find in good condition paul

 These are available new

[foshi]

do not last long  the chrome is very thin , i obtained a good used one after the new lasting 6months

So could you buy a new one and have it re chromed would that work? 

[foshi]

probably not worth the cost

hi I have a 1965 Vitesse 6 convertible and wonder if you can help me with what should go in the holes at the side of the front bonnet, was it a Leyland badge?

I managed to get the short piece of trim for the rear wing but is it only held by one rivet, if so how does it stay in place?

many thanks Dale

Not sure where you have holes in your bonnet. But I don't remember any badges on my 1600 apart from teh Triumph across the front. I would check, but the car is back in storage for a few weeks.

The short trim piece should have a captive rivet attached, plus a clip/rivet  atatched to the body, giving you 2 fixings. Plan B is to you could use a flexi sealant eg sikoflex/tigerseal. Or even double sided foam tape, as used on modern car badges

Your Bonnet may have been replaced for a later 2 Litre or 2 Litre Mk2 Bonnet which does have small square badges on the wings, on the early 2 Litre Cars it states 2 Litre, on the Mk2 models from late 1968 till end of production it states MK2

The very last MK2 models built in 1971 did also have an additional Small Leyland logo badge low down on the Wing, late Heralds manufactured in 1971 also had the Leyland badge

I've attached a couple of Photo's to explain.
