Found at the Beaulieu Auto Jumble

Post by UHR850 »

I was very lucky this year to find a very RARE item, this is the badge like
the Downton UHR850 has on its grill. The price was VERY fair !!!

Beaulieu was very good this year, the weather was fine the parts where good.
I bought some very nice steeringwheels, a DOWNTON badge and so on.

I hope that you didn't pay too much for the Downton badge as its the type that were sold by Minispares in the 1990's.
