Purchased my car with no front TVR badge or decal. Seller, although I am dubious claimed that the car had no badge or decal from the factory. Does anyone here know whether the car would have originally had a badge or decal on the nose. Thanks.

I'm fairly certain all earlier cars had the decal and then later cars generally had the enamel badge.

KKSon, thanks for the response. I was thinking there was supposed to be some logo. Your image looks exactly like my car. I appreciate the help.

Hi the decal in various colours is available from these guys who do many of the original logos. Cheers.

Mine had the front sticker, although I think it took them a few years to finish it.

Mine is 1986 which had the badge, but the badge looks odd on the front of a wedge in my view, I switched to a decal years ago.

Mine is an 87 and has the decal - have some old pics and seems it was like that from the factory. They pretty much did whatever you want if you paid for it, I think! I prefer the decal to the badge actually.

mine is a 1983 and has a front-decal.

my former 3 Tasmins (all Ford powered) had decals as well.
