Interior Badge “Parts Ordering”

[haasad]

A long time ago I looked over a very original 100/4 BN1. It carried a small badge or plaque in the LHS footwell giving details about ordering parts. The badge was white with engraved lettering “filled in” with red paint or maybe black.
Does anyone have a photo of one giving sizes or even a source for a replacement ?

Did you see that badge/plaque on a car in the UK?

Just wondering if it was an original AH plaque (which could come from many places), or a UK specific plaque.
Thanks.

Found a photo of similiar in a recently sold car, wonder where the plaque is fitted.

How does one reduce file size so it’ll upload

This should help -

In Windows Photos, open the image, click the three dots, and select "Resize."

On a Mac, open the image in Preview, go to Tools > Adjust Size, and either select a preset size, enter custom dimensions, or choose a percentage to resize by.

That's just the VIN plate on those early cars. If reproductions are available, I'm not aware of the source.

(On those early cars there's also an oval metal plate with the car chassis number riveted to the top of one of the longitudinal frame rails.)

haasad - is this similar to what you're describing?

That’s it but I think I now understand is the vin plate from early cars.
Mine has the aluminium plates on the bulkhead in the engine space .

Just checking . in your first post you mentioned "small badge or plaque in the LHS footwell giving details about ordering parts".

So you meant engine area, not footwell?

Thanks.

In the car I saw it was a white badge in the footwell.
