[Tigers] Badges - originality

	TBON lists 4 possible badges.
Alpine 260		European market
Powered by Ford 260
Sunbeam 260		This one shows Chrysler's influence at Rootes on the
Tiger.
Sunbeam V8

	I don't know that any of these have been reproduced in plastic like
the originals.  You can polish plastic to put a shine back on the surface
and if the silver is still there you can clean up the back and spray it with
black paint.

Subject: [Tigers] Badges - originality


My early Mk1a Tiger came to me with both "260" side badges missing.

The only "260" badge remaining is on the trunk lid.

It is very worn with little paint remaining and says "Sunbeam 260" with
"Sunbeam" located in the small space normally displaying "Powered by Ford."

Does anyone have information on this badge?

So far I don't see a repro available.

I have no way to know whether the badge is original to the car but have no
reason to suspect a badge change in the past either.

Rgds,

Allan Ballard
