Hi,
Just finished my last project and now starting the next. It's a Holdsworth Whirlwind in a bit of a state at the moment. I'm starting refurbishing the head badge first but after looking through hundreds of images, I can't find a picture of one that appears to be complete and original enough to give me a pattern to follow. Does anyone have a frame, badge or advertising leaflet, in colour, that they can post on here? I won't be able to re-enamel the badge so I'm intending to try to blend some new paint into where the enamel is missing?. Also, the frame came with the badge removed and with only one of the tiny split pins to refit it. Does anyone have one they can part with to keep it as original as possible?
Many Thanks... Alex

Just finished...


Badge as I got it...


With a little cleaning...

Father used to use a mix of Araldite and paint (Possibly Oil Paint but not sure) to repair enamel on Riley Car Radiator badges.

PS

We have had an Enamelled Car suppliers badge re enamelled by a Company in Birmingham a couple of years ago but don't know who or where or if they are still about.
