Vintage MG Parts have been working on changing the colour of the brown / cream badge back to its 1930s factory standard colours.

For some unexplained reason, the brown & cream reproduction radiator badges have for years been made for the MMM trade with a varying dark brown, sometimes being so dark, its opaque. We sadly still have some of these examples on our own cars (see images below) and the colour we note is still marketed as a "rich brown". The original badge was more of a golden brown and clearly showing the base mottling. VMGP have therefore set out to rectify the problem working with our enamelers on colour adjustment and experimentation with different base material backings (see image above).

The badges shown below are on our own cars and are the incorrect darker badge marketed as a "rich brown".

We have been working from a pristine 1930's original MG badge and we now stock a limited initial batch of the more correct lighter brown and cream badge (top image). We utilise a pressed chosen self coloured base which is then enamelled using traditional 1930s glass enamelling techniques. We stress that this product should not be confused with another overseas manufactured badge where the badge stud is prone to becoming detached from the badge plate.

This badge is also correct for the TA, TB & TC as well as Y Type and SVW models.

This badge is more recognisable as being the radiator badge but is also used on the P, L, N, KN and K Type (non-supercharged) front aprons as well as being used on the spare wheel carrier for the F2, J2, J3, J4 and L2 models.
