Badge?

[Raineh]

Hello,

I know its not the "done" thing to make a first post on a forum and ask for help,
but I was just wondering if any of the wise old owls on here can answer my question.

I picked this badge up from a car boot for £8 Sunday just passed, and spent 2 days trying to
figure out what model it comes from?
Always had AM posters on my walls as a child so I was drawn to it.

If anyone could enlighten me id be grateful, its as close as im going to get to owning
a AM so would be nice to know and any recommendations on cleaning it?

Thanks

I would say that the badge has come from an AM V8, Oscar India model

From about 1985 ish they changed the design a bit loosing the 'step' around the outside and also gaining a green background to the 'Aston Martin' and this was also in a different font. In the mid 1970's they were often coloured gold rather than chrome. I could say the gold is a bit 'tacky' but I think it safer to say it's now a bit dated and hasn't aged well

Nice. Start with washing up liquid and water, possibly rubbing alcohol around the edges, then leave it like that and enjoy it.

My guess would be the old and original dbs......hence the black background that is now found on the modern version....just a guess.....

Thanks for the input chaps, I will look in those directions.

Thanks, I shall try that. I know it may have seemed a silly question but didnt want to put anything on it and cause bad reaction, best to check.
