Volkswagen Owner’s Club GB – original new old stock 1990s Renamel of London keyring

NOW SOLD – sorry this keyring has now been sold and can no longer be ordered

An original Volkswagen Owner’s Club GB keyring which we would think will have been produced in the 1990s .

We have just this one example of this keyring to offer – when it has been sold this listing will be cancelled.

The Volkswagen Owner’s Club GB was established in 1953 .

This keyring is in new old stock condition with an acrylic dome badge mounted onto a keyfob in genuine very dark navy blue ( almost black ! )  leather .

This keyring was produced by Renamel in their final Honeypot Lane London location shortly before they closed their doors .

Renamel produced quite a range of keyrings in their own distinctive style for Volkswagen models – something which other keyring manufacturers generally neglected to do .

They also produced some of the first acrylic badged keyrings in the late 1970s & 1980s which had the very real advantage over traditional vitreous enamel badged keyrings in that the badge did not crack or break when dropped onto a hard surface .

The badge is marked ‘ RENAMEL London England’ on the reverse .

Renamel’s keyrings were almost always produced in imitation leather but this keyring is an exception as the keyfob is in genuine leather .

It may be that they had bought in stocks of leather keyfob blanks from another manufacturer who had ceased trading or changed production .

Their keyrings were budget priced but were well made and were produced in considerable numbers but not many like this one will have survived particularly in this condition – so we would regard this keyring as being a rare survivor of a keyring in common use at the time and as such will be original & correct for use in a car produced around the same time .

The keyring in the photos is the actual one which you will receive . SMOSO  59420426
