Rosbif Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Hi everyone, a previous owner fitted the badge in the image below (sorry about the size) and I would like to try and identify where it comes from. Clearly not an original fitting to a 13/60 and my searches so far have drawn a blank with other models. I have left the letter 'U' so as to give the scale of the badge.Thanks for any info you have.

Ridgetone Triumph Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Think that is from the Vanguard??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocita Rosso Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Similar to the MK1 2000 valance/bonnet badge ,except that has an ornate scroll along the inner top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgetone Triumph Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Quoted from Velocita Rosso Similar to the MK1 2000 valance/bonnet badge ,except that has an ornate scroll along the inner top That ornate scroll was depicting the more up market model 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosbif Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Yes I have seen a version with a scroll, looked as if it was on a dolomite.I'll research the Vanguard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosbif Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Further research has come up with:A couple of photos of the exact same badge, front & back, cited as possibly from 1950's Atlas van.More likely though also found photos of 1300 TC fronts with the same looking badge & on Ebay what looks to be the same badge however without any of the white/blue paint left.I will restore the blue painted zone and refit. Not much choice really as there would be 3 holes in the bonnet (angry) visible otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Man Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Yes that's a 1300 fwd bonnet badge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosbif Posted November 28, 2017 Author Share Posted November 28, 2017 Thank you for the confirmation that man, mystery solved.Now I can get on with restoring it, an unusual upgrade to say the least.I imagine new ones are as rare as chicken teeth (verymad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
