Hello, new guy here. I'm wondering if any of you Caterham guys have a Caterham nose badge for sale or trade. I'm looking for the one that reads SUPER 7 in black and silver. The previous owners were trying to pass it off as a Lotus. My car is a 1978 with the original, albeit very tired TwinCam. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

Caterham Parts department sell them here, although they appear to be out of stock at the moment. Still, you might want to give them a ring to express interest and see what happens?
Best of luck, sir.

Caterham is out of stock and will not be making them again. I'm hoping that someone has one to sell. Thanks.

Keep a watch on eBay, you might strike lucky. I managed to pick up a genuine one there about a year ago. Just beware of copies.....

Definitely don't get one of the copies. I managed to get one of the last genuine ones from Caterham and there is no comparison. Might also be worth posting a thread in the Wanted section of blatchat.

And thats the problem with the re-branding a disconnect from the past and re-inventing, try Red line for a badge http://www.redlinecomponents.co.uk

REDLINE doesn't have them either, that's why I'm trying to find an individual whom has an original for sale. Thanks.

Seriously, not stocking a badge for a 35 year old model is a reason to critisize for rebranding. Do you think Ford would still make a Cortina badge.

Erm 1972 to 2012 ish hmm all the 7's out there have a round recess for the badge so why the new branding did it have to be an erasure of the classic 7 when 40 years of Caterham production have it? and Lotus prior to that

Oh and one new Ford Cortina badge from here winkhttp://www.newfordpartsonline.co.uk/index.php?prod...

You can still get a round badge from Caterham , just not that particular one. Oh, and your Cortina badge is actually out of stock.

Thanks. But again, I'm looking for an original and ONLY AN ORIGINAL. The fake ones are too big and apply with tape, not studs.

Hi

I know this is an old thread but has anyone got a genuine Super 7 badge that does not a say Caterham? Either Black or Yellow will do.

Caterham DID make some more in 2016...... just like the originals.

Good luck.
