New Peerless Bonnet and Boot Badges
Permalink  

Hello everyone,

I've been chipping away at this one for a few years now and have just received a call to say the first badge sample was posted to me today.

It's based on one of my old badges, so fingers crossed.

I have no idea of its quality but it's a step in the process to making them available again.

Will update as soon as I have received it.

All the best,

Gary

**PICS** New Peerless Bonnet and Boot Badges
Permalink  

Sorry this is a few days late but what's that after 50 years...

Sample now with me and I reckon it looks superb. The material is unpolished and minus the back and white backgrounds, being a sample, so this is all about the size, shape and quality of the wording and details.

As pointed out by Nigel, the thin gold line between the black and white backgrounds is not on this (because my original badge was had nothing but gold lettering paint). However, it shouldn't be a problem.

I fitted it to a standard 2" inch chrome rim and it's fine.

The final plastic can be clear as original, with the added benefit of being UV stable, unlike an original badge.

So I now need to know the following to determine costs:

Would you want just the plastic insert unpainted?

Would you wanted the insert painted?

Would you prefer a completely assembed badge with stainless steel backing and securing method (probably stud(s) with nuts)?

I suggest we take advantage of this opportunity and get as many as possible in the first batch. 50 for example is only 25 cars. Buy two, keep your originals off the car and away from sunlight?

Register your interest ASAP.

All the best, Gary

great work Gary! I think they should all be coloured (as that's how they were) and finished.

we did have discussions about this before (with the great unwashed) and the "group" were split as to the fixings.

bolted on works for me bu then I'm just a young heathen disbelief

 

oh and judt geting in there first, the bessle's wrong (yea I know it was the only one you had but you know what's gona happen!)

I had no idea that these even existed nor do I know where they should go but I would like a couple. I presume 1 front, 1 rear. Anyone able to post a pic showing locations?

Fancy Nigel to know a dodgy rim...biggrin

Thanks Mike and Frieman, will keep you posted.

Mike, the Phase 1 had the badges front and rear. Phase 2 rear only with chrome scripted 'Peerless' up front.

Meant to say that I'll have the sample at the NYB. Group 4 aren't capable of containing Uncle Frank, so I may need extra special security to keep it safe.

Anyone know any ticklers to keep him entertained?

All the best, Gary

Would like a pair also, #198, I have large P in grill but,dont have any emblems, think I am Phase 2 but do not have chrome script. Would anyone 0bject if I put emblems on my Phase 2 car, I put large PEERLESS letters in front number plate area some ads have shown, to let people know what it is. BTW, is there a list of chassis #s with current owners,and perhaps history, I used to race against them when they were new, lots of cars coming out of the woodwork in the USA.

There's no Peerless police, so you do what makes you and your Peerless journey a happy one.

Uncle Frank might sniff, but he's got telescopic rear dampers now...

P grille was Phase 1 only. Are your headlamps protruding (Ph1) or recessed like an MGB? That said front ends got swapped too.

Nigel has list of all known miscreants.

All the best, Gary

Great work Gary!!

We would like 2 pairs (that's four badges to you Nigel) when they get into production.

Is there any news on new 'Peerless' script badges?

Okay, I make that eighteen full badges plus two for myself. Twenty so far, not bad. Two for Nigel?

I'll be speaking with the suppliers later today with a view to prices.

All the best

I could be interested in two badges if the price is not to high. I already have four original badges in store so I don't really need new ones, but it could be wise to save them for the future.

I know I'm late to the game, but #123 only has one original - so I'd appreciate being able to buy 2 complete.

I would buy two badges to put on my Warwick as I don't have any thing on it. Would doubt if one could get enough request for Warwick Badges.
