Home / Online Shop / Caterham Super 7 – original old stock chrome enamel badge remounted onto a new leather keyfob
Original vitreous enamel badges which will have been produced in the 1980s which we are offering remounted remounted onto new leather keyfobs in a choice of leather colours .
Very few of these original chrome badges left
Production of the Lotus 7 ended in 1972 & Caterham bought the rights to the car in 1973 & production started.
We have just a few of these very scarce original chrome plated vitreous enamel badges to offer.
Most modern Caterham keyfob badges will be made in resin based enamel – not solid yellow & green vitreous enamel like these.
We would think that these badges will date from the early to mid 1980s.
They have the maker’s name on the back of the badges ( CAXTON of KEW ) – which gives a good clue to the date- Caxtons have been closed for a long time.
The badges are in new condition and will never have been issued .
Caxton of Kew were a traditional manufacturer and one of the last to still lay the vitreous enamel by hand – this results in slight variations from badge to badge .
The enamel tends to have dimples which sets these badges apart from modern resin based enamel badges which are always boringly perfect !
Additionally the badges are relatively thin and consequently lightweight – as befits a Caterham Super 7 – and we have therefore chosen to offer them mounted onto the thinnest keyfob which we produce – our slimline teardrop keyfob shape as shown in the photos .
Any of the leather colours can be specified – with British racing green and black probably being the most popular options but red leather often also being chosen .
When the few badges which we have are all mounted and sold then this listing will cancel.
If you are not happy with your purchase for any reason or cancel your order – a full refund will be given.
