Badges

[Dave Lane]

Dont know about you lot but I always thought that the badges on Imps were mostly too big for the car , the script ones arnt so bad but the solid ones just looked huge .
Anyway as is normal with me I changed them for ones that ironically come from a much bigger Singer - namely a Vogue , rear ones had the Vogue bit cut off but the front is unmodified .
Also the Singer Chamois sport had Singer sport in the little badge , Seemed bazaar to have Singer on the back twice .
As mines a " fake " sport then a fake badge was needed , get rid of the double Singer bit and put Chamois there instead


My " fake " one

Factory one


My front badge compared to the standard one



And rear



Standard rear early



Standard rear MK3 --- Even bigger and before you say my Imps turned to wood its nailed on one of the sheds beams

The smaller SInger badge looks good on the dark background. Although Jims black on white badge (no chrome) looks subtle as well.

I have seen the rootes 998 ones and the hartwell GT and often though of getting something made to Hartwell 998, I dont have the original engine anymore just some receipts from hartwell, would not fit them on the doors though, perhaps one on engine cover

Wonder how many actual badges they produced

Got a genuine Hartwell GT one here , used it for a while too
