A replacement bonnet badge would work. Most current bonnet badges are only push fit secured so a similar sized replacement depicting 50 years should be a simple swap.

Would the manufacturer be able to replicate the similar pins on the rear of the badge to allow it to be secured to the bonnet? I'll raise the question with Raj.

Would there be any interest in a 50th anniversary key ring? There was one for the 40th; I no longer have mine as it wasn't fire retardant :(

Personally I'd also buy a windscreen 'car tax holder' style sticker with JH 50th logo.

A car tax holder would only cover the UK members. They are no good in Europe. There may be a reasonable market for bonnet badges in the NL as there are about 65-75 J-H registered. About 30 of these are member of the HJGH.
There is a renowned couple in the UK who can design and manufacture properly shaped (double curvature) copper/chromed/enamelled badges of high quality: Pamela David Enamels??

I guess the car is 50 years old in the USA as well, from launch at least. The JHPS don't seem to be doing a 50th badge but have some nice ones. http://www.jhps.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Sc ... ode=JHPS-B

Hi Everyone,
I can't remember when Dave fitted the Owners' Club badge on the bonnet but it was a long time ago!

I agree a commemorative badge the same dimensions as the original is a good idea. A window sticker is the easy option. The only other place is to fit it to the front bumper next to the number plate. I think I have seen several JOC badges there.
