Unless there is some new supplier I don't think so. Some time ago they were available in the UK but they ran out and there was some problem with rights or something so they weren't making any more.

Cheers
Steve

Somerford Mini had them a year or two ago but alas, they are available no more. Their supplier doesn't do them now.
They have gone the way of Mk1 Morris horn push centres. :cry:

I have the round chrome ring & the center plastic piece. The ring is perfect condition good chrome & 3 pins. The center is a little bit crazed & the paint on the back has virtually gone.

I believe there are quite a number of badges that are no longer available due to some reason or other.

I was trying to get a Mk2 Austin Cooper bonnet badge but they too are no longer in production. I tried Somerfords myself as they have always been very good at sourcing parts for me in the past, and I sometimes find it difficult to get mailorder from the UK mainland to us in N Ireland.

Was thinking about going for some Aussie badging for a wee motor of my own as it would be very different here - there's only one Aussie Mini that I know of in Ireland.

I think you'll find that seller is an Ausminier

A UK company called classic badges had the original moulds for a huge number of badges of that style (i.e. transparent resin centres painted from behind). They must have bought out the stock of the company that originally made them all. They had both motorbike and car badges. They had a great website and you could brows through their whole range. Then all of a sudden it disappeared. I think they went bust. You can still find their site using the wayback machine.

The things I learn on Ausmini. In this case it's not about Minis but the Wayback Machine. What a fascinating resource. I didn't know it existed until today. Thanks Timbo.
