Why does he want to sell them? They are pieces of history, I don't know what they are worth, sorry.

He has had them laying around in his collection of automotive memorabilia and is having a sort out prior to emigrating.

He asked if I knew anyone who would be interested so I mentioned here. He said he thought they were from the Elan / Europa from the mid sixties???

At that age they will be off an Elan, S2 I think, they were fitted to the rear wings above the front ends of the rear bumper.

The badges look in really good shape so I imagine they could be worth quite a few quid but I don't know exact values, sorry.

The badges are still available as a part number. They come in two parts, the badge and the bezel it's fitted to.
Badge: X036B0501A
Bezel: X046B6027Z

Both retail for under £20 each from all good Lotus retailers.
