Re: Championship Badge
I think Lotusbits might have had them remade? I've also seen them come up on fleabay from time to time. There are two version with different dates as well I think.

Re: Championship Badge
There's at least two variants.
Miles Wilkens has them available, I think in pretty much any date. He's also planning remanufacture of the head lamp pods. Just waiting for him to advise when.

Re: Championship Badge
The one in the picture is new to me. I know of the other variant.
Note that that is the rear end of my car as advertised . The Badge is missing !

Re: Championship Badge
SJs have a number of different versions of the W/C badge, but different from the image - all that shape have dates. Would it be for the first W/C - so from 1964/5
What's the badge on the other side?

Re: Championship Badge
Did they have an "Automatic" badge?
Would it be something a PO had made? Original lost?

Re: Championship Badge
Given that Mercedes have now won 8 championships on the trot, we could really do with some badges like that!
Oh well, we'll just have to make do with this, a road car with an F1 engine in it:

(You don't have to have it in that colour scheme!!)
