Someone on facebook spotted this badge on his travels:


Could it be a very early one, perhaps Park Ranger or one of Searle's prototypes?

I've asked him if he took a picture of the whole vehicle - waiting for a reply.

I've looked back through all the brochures we've got, but couldn't find anything with this badge

Cheers,
Robin.

Feel free to link to the images on my group Robin, not just Facebook.

I sent Frans a message to ask if he minds - he hasn't got back to me yet so just linked that one until he gave me permission.

After all, they are his pictures which he shared on your group, so thought I would get his permission for the rest

Of course, you can link to them from here if you want - it's your group so your rules

Cheers,
Robin.

Of course, nothing stopping me linking to your facebook group I suppose as he's already shared them on there

Look for the recent posts from Frans

Cheers,
Robin.

I'm sure that style of badge was used from around the mid 70's, I refer to that one as the upside down triangle version.

There's an example on this from around 1976:



As opposed to the 'flat globe' style one as shown in this leaflet from around 1973:



Then there's the one's that we all know, which even though I think it is the earliest style badge, I also think it is the most common, so to speak:



it is the earliest style

Just saw this, from 1968, you can see the flat globe on the headed paper:

Will see what my paperwork says when I finally get hold of it, as I bet in 1967 it was still the earlier style (non-globe) badge - the vehicle itself certainly has the earlier style badging.

I have an original A3 poster/advert of the Model 80 from the mid-late 70s which shows the triangular badge - it even has go faster stripes to match! The one on Facebook is the first one I have seen that is a 'raised' triangle badge, however.


"Count your rivets!"

EDIT: for the sake of completeness, even later still they seemed to use CARAWAGON lettering as the logo, which was used up until the end as far as I know

I have this badge on my 1975 carawagon. When I get chance I will post a photo. It also has another badge which has turned black, anyone know what that one would have looked like?

In fact on closer inspection I think it is a photo of my landrover!
