When I was a kid, I helped a family member out with a small business selling classic car badges at shows- over 20 years ago now. In the course of this, obviously, some of them fell in to my ownership.
I'm having a huge clearout and these have popped up and I figured eBay might be a good place to get rid- however I'm struggling to ID some of the stuff as I no longer have a catalogue.

I turn to the frightening genius/geekery/enthusiasts of PH for help- so, can you identify which car these came from? Might be a bit of fun while we're at it!

Many thanks!

1)I'm guessing Jag of some sort


2)Jag again?


3)Renault?

5)One broken sadly, but no clue what theyre off. Gold plated.

Are 2 and 8 different? Think at least one of them is from a Saab - old rounded back end type Saab.

V4 badges probably from an Saab 96 or 95 (not 9-5) Originally fitted with 2 strokes, then a V4.

Yes, 2 is smaller, the 8's are 3 or 4 times bigger.

I think number 8 could be off an old Ford pick up 50's 60's.

Sorry I was miles off

Luc1fer has pretty much sewn it up. I think no. 1 is a Ford though. I remember the Jaguar MK2 my Dad had and the badge wasn't in Italics. It looks like either Ford or Vauxhall orientated to me.

No. 27 looks like early supercar/exotica material too.
