OK, OK. According to Piggott the badge bar was a factory option and most of
them were made/supplied by "Desmo." That said --I have seen only one that I
recall and that was at Savannah in '92. That one was not an original.
However, in the dim recesses of my memory I seem to remember seeing "grill
guards" (they may have been badge bars) on TR4/4A's in the '60's when my car
was new. At that time my car was the family car and every time I wanted to
puchase an accessory one of the kids needed new shoes or something so I never
bought one. Cheers.
