The 2011 TVR Union Jack Badge Thread!

[Timja]

Last year I arranged for a group buy of some Union Jack design TVR badges as you may have seen on cars at various TVR meets. As some of you may have already seen in the previous badge thread, there is some interest in getting another batch of TVR Union Jack Badges produced, which I am happy to arrange.

As with many things in manufacturing there are certain levels which need to be reached to make the individual badge cost low enough to appeal to people. Prices below are indicative of what prices I expect the final badges will cost. There have been various material, manufacturing and VAT rises since last year, so some prices are a little higher than before - However, considering a much simpler to make standard TVR badge costs around £50, they offer exceptional good value!

I thought the best thing to do was to guage the level of interest to see if there are enough people interested in getting some made, then I can email everyone with final costs and what to do next when we are approaching minimum order levels. EDIT: This level has now been reached 18/07/11

Please see descriptions and photographs of all the available options below. If you are interested in any badges, please email [e-mail]

Registering interest in a bonnet badge just waiting for car back to measure

I registered an interest on the link from the previous post a few weeks ago, do i need to re-register?

[Timja]

Hi, No - got your details already. Anyone that has been to the preorder.tvrbadges site will have had their interest recorded. Just started a new thread with all photos to make it easier to see what's available.

Cheers

Tim

[Harrytsg]

Thanks.

[Timja]

Nearly half way there for all the different options, so hopefully some more people may be interested and we can get this happening!

Not sure if there is any chance of making this a sticky like on previous threads so people may see it?

[Macey]

Any chance of a list of people that have registered?

I'm sure I have but would like to make sure.

Hi, Yes you have put down interest for a Gold with lugs and Gold side badges

Don't want to put everyones details down as they may not want me divulging their details...

[morebeanz]

I'm sure you don't need th extra advertising, but I was in the last group buy. The efforts that were made to solicit a top flight product and get them out to us was nothing short of excellent.

If anyone is even vaguely wavering, then don't! Go for it, as the results are superb...


One very satisfied customer.

Hi - want to register interest for this but can anyone help me. I am not near my car at the moment so can't check what the badges are at the moment, i.e. whether I need ones with lugs or just stick on. It is a 99 Chimeara and I would want one for the front and the back, I think the front ones are the ones with lugs and the back would just be a stick on as the badge on the back is a Chimeara badge rather than TVR. Can anyone confirm for me or correct as I am speaking purely from memory and my memory is rubbish.

If I am right and the badge on the back is just Chimeara then I assume others have found space on the other side of the boot for the new TVR badge?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I note you have already registered your interest so i guess you have had a chance to look at your car and have answered your questions, but just to confirm that the front badge on a Chimaera has got the lugs and on the rear just the Chimaera badge so those who wanted to add a TVR badge bought a stick on badge and put on the other side on the rear.

The number of people who have expressed an interest is now about 85% of the way to the minimum order quantities to purchase badges at above cost so looks like this is going ahead!

Sometime over the weekend I will send an email to those people who have expressed an interest so far with details of what to do next. Keen to get the order in soon as it will take a few weeks for them to be made and distributed so be nice to get them out to everyone over the summer.

Anyone else who is interested, please complete the form ASAP to ensure you can get the design and finish you want, I am happy to pay for a few extras for people who see this late so we can get the order in place but if you particularly want either Gold or Chrome then best to order now to ensure you get what you want as I will just order some of each finish based on the kind of split others have ordered. Hopefully we may be in a position to place the order by the end of next week if people can make payments promptly.

Cheers,

Tim

Is it too late to order? If not I'd like a large gold edged badge with the sticky foam backing. Thanks

Not too late to order - I'll send you a message with what to do next.

I will now disable the pre-order site, as we have reached enough interest to get them made.

Anyone else who would like a badge, please email [e-mail] and i'll send you ordering details.

I will be getting some extra ones on top of the ones people requested on pre-order, so should be some of all types available. Send me an email if you would like any badges. Once they are all sold I will update this thread.

[andypug36]

Hi Tim,
Have you got a lead time for the badges?
Cheers

Hi

Waiting for a confirmed delivery date, but i suspect they will be about 3 weeks now. Once I have confirmed date I will email all who have ordered so far.

Tim

p.s. I have ordered some extra badges on top of those who have already confirmed and paid, so if anyone else is interested, just let me know.
