HI All,
Am wondering does anybody have a Good Clear example/picture of a Morris Mini Mk2 Bonnet Badge? Is the Ring Lining and Shield around the Ox Silver or gold? I know its Single ring compared to the Oxford which has 3 ring of gold. There are many examples of this badge with Silver ring but there is one with single Gold Ring everything is exactly the same.. so I am confused.. looking for manufacturing specs. Dont want to buy a badge with wrong colour..

The outer ring and the shield are bright silver.

Hi,

Wat do you make of this? What do you rekcon it comes from?



Minied

That is a Mk 2 Mini bonnet badge - the part number is correct. The gold must be from a reflection as it should be silver.

I confirmed wit the owner it is gold. He too is confused but swears it original part no NOS and says the possibility that later model the gold is not pronounced .

If you can get one, get it. They are very rare now and that one is much better than the Oxford or 1100 ones which are a much more yellow gold.

Here's the one on my MK2 Woody. I found it on Ebay a few years ago.

HI Tim,

Thanks, its costing both arms and legs so thinking real hard to get it and have to amke sure the right colours are there.

Hi Surfblue,

You badge is still displayed on internet searches , I have shared this picture out many times in my quest to get one.. Lucky you. Missed few bids on ebay already as it went too expensive or out of luck in bidding. SOmeone is promising me one now, I hope I get it for a decent price.

I see that the one you showed above is already at a very high price on ebay.

I'm guessing you have a nice car and want a really good badge? If not, and you just want "something to fill the hole up"
I have found this in my stock of old Minibits. I also have the matching boot badge. Not expecting to retire on the proceeds

Hi Old English White,

Well I dont have a Shiny new car yet but would like to get there someday but I am not prepared to contribute to someones retirement funds as you put it.. I did see a couple of decent one posted before I began my quest so I will wait and see my luck.

Thanks for the offer on the badge, looks like I need to replaint it completely. I decided to wait a bit and see if anything else comes up.. I missed a Fairly decent one with no scratches the last time due to Bidding timing. hard to stay awake in Asia when bidding for stuff in the UK.. especially on weekends.. Anyways would you humour me with a Offer to minied@hotmail.com? I live in Malaysia so will need shipping.

Minied...!

pm sent . I'd hope it to be worth £5?
