Anyone happen to have, or know of someone who has surplus/spare, the correct circular (front and rear bodywork) AC badges for the AC engined Ace....please?
   I imagine these are the same for several different models, Saloon?, Aceca? maybe others.
   After over 40 years of ownership of AE01, I for some reason or other suddenly feel the urge to get the correct badges on the car, why not, better late than never!

Well, thanks to one member I'm 50% there, ie I have one badge!
   
   On perhaps a different tack, would there be any interest for badges if I could get proper replicas cast? Clearly to do a one off is expensive but divide that by 4, 6, 8, 10 or whatever makes it much more reasonable.

I believe there is a manufacturer of these but they are quite expensive, they go to car shows so worth a google!"

I would be interested in having proper replicas cast, sign me up!  I need a couple for AE 29.  The ones I have right now appear to be hand cast, I posted a couple photos on this forum a while back.

I might have a badge that you're looking for, it's a chrome plated AC badge with a nobbly background, given to me by the son of a friend of mine who recently passed away. I would send you a picture but it's in the boot of my 427 which is currently having a new engine etc installed and I won't be seeing it for a few weeks as the garage isn't local. I believe it came off AE28 which he crashed in the 60s. From memory It's approximately 65mm in diameter. Regards

Just checked my overnight bag and found the badge, it's 55mm in diameter with a nut and pin on the back. I will try and post some pictures.

Vince, that looks the job, many thanks for the photos. If its off AE 28, then its very appropriate, ie only 7 cars after mine!
