Default Marlin "Union Jack" Badge

Whilst at Stoneleigh last weekend I noticed that there seems to be two different types of Marlin "Union Jack" Badge.

Alot of cars had the Union Jack badge that can be seen on the Marlin Owners Club website but a few cars had a similar badge but that seemed to be a better quality (i.e. finer detail).

Does anyone know where I can get hold of the latter ? Are these type supplied by Marlin themselves ?

Thanks

Simon

Hi Simon,

I used to see them advertised on ebay but not seen them for some time now.

Not sure if these are the ones you mean?

You could try dropping them an email?

Hi Peter,

Unfortunately those look to be the same as the badges sold on the Marlin Owners Club website. The badges I am after seemed to have slightly different (finer) font and sharper definition to the Union Jack.

Incidentally, I saw your car at Stoneleigh on Sunday and was very impressed. The colour is an excellent choice and the car looks stunning - very well done !

Simon

Simon - did they have Marlin written underneath them, or were they just straight union flags? If just the flag, you can get some very nice ones from Woolies:

They're what I have on Vikki:

Yes they had Marlin written underneath the Union Jack.

I've emailed Terry at Marlin to see whether she knows anything about them.

Thanks

Simon
