Pegasus Badges
New Pegasus Badge
If anyone is interested in one or more of these Pegasus badges made by the original supplier to Bristol Cars, based in the Birmingham Jewellery Quarter, using the original tooling then please contact me via email at ridleyjones@hotmail.com. In order to make the project viable, an order of 20 is needed at a pre-paid cost of £130.50 per badge. If the numbers of badges requested are not sufficient, then sadly this project is not likely to go ahead. I have seen these on the wings of 408, 409, 410, and the front grille of the prototype 411, s5, s6 (the front badge on the 407 has an extra shield, but is otherwise similar). The shield is also on the last Blenheim the s4. There may well be other Bristols that used them, but I have not been to a car show for a while! Brian |

I know how difficult it can be to make something like this happen, but nevertheless, £261 for a pair of badges seems quite hard to take. I'll have a look at my old ones this evening if I can remember. I have a 409.
Thanks for making the effort. |

Pegasus Badge
Thank you for your reply - I have been in further communication with the makers, and one reason for the high price is that these are made individually by hand.
The tooling (punch) has probably only enough life left for around 40 badges, so this is likely to be the last chance to obtain these as if a fresh punch were needed as well on top of the other costs...... |
