TVR badge colour

[Grantura SWE]

What is the correct colour of the TVR badge on the bonnet of a 1967 TVR 1800S? And what is supposed to be on the back of the car? Are there supposed to be any markings saying 1800S anywhere?

Mine has a blue dome enamel TVR badge on the bonnet and a green one on the rear left (no dome but not a sticker either). Nothing else.
Thanks for your input!

Thanks for your replys.
My car does have a Vixen S2/S3 style bonnet but even so the blue badge is most likely wrong any way then?! I would like to fit the correct badges to my car. The bonnet will be replaced with a correct one sooner or later too (probably later) but I can start with the badges.
The 18000S one on the rear appears hard to find. Google has not come up with anything to help.


Does anybody know when they stopped using this style badge on the front? Perhaps when Lilley took over? Or when the Turner chassis was introduced?

Thanks guys!
I'll get a green one for the bonnet instead of the blue. If anybody knows how to source the 1800S badge that should be on the back to hestitate to let me know. Until then I guess the green plain TVR badge can remain. Better than not having anything at all....

Yes, it appears to be from Austin 1800 mk1. A car that appears to be even more rare than a TVR 1800 where I live.

Very useful information. It must be possible to source a badge somewhere sooner or later..
