It was a red 'domed' reflector. Originals of these are quite hard to find in good condition

It's a 1953 Model series II ....anyone knows where to get one?

The hood would have been beige, the trim and carpets maroon.

To find a good reflector is either a case of putting something in the 'Wanted' section, or simply visiting a few auto jumbles.

Good luck.

This is what they SHOULD look like:

This was a 'new-old-stock' item that a member of this messageboard managed to luckily find. They are difficult to find and the reproduction ones are poor. The lettering is unclear, the edges are less defined and the reflectors are flat and not domed (wrong profile).

Thanks Bill, shame it wan't me that found the badge though. I could do with a couple myself.

Yes me too, I am always looking for them, in fact I think I bought the one that the new one replaced.

Ah right! I have a few myself (with ok reflectors) but they are pitted. I could transfer the reflectors over (which I probably will end up doing) but I'm not happy with the quality of the surrounds on the 'new' repro items. Maybe I'll try to get the old ones restored & rechromed with the rest of DUD's brightwork when the time comes.

Ah - fame at last

Rog

I wasn't going to mention it was you Rog, just in case you did not want it known, but very well done on finding a NOS badge.

Yes, very well done Rog!

I actually saw another NOS one a few months after I got mine - but that went for more than 3 times what I paid.

Well if it disappears during the Potteries Rally I'll know who to blame

No danger of that Rog! ** he said, trying to lull him into a false sense of security! **
