Please see the picture of a badge from a Thames Van I hope to start restoring in the near future.

I am looking for a company that may be able to restore it. I remember a few years ago looking for such a company and came across one in the USA , but I can't find them again.

Any advice would be helpful- or a better replacement Wink [/img][img][/img]

what model is it off - 400e?

replacement would be more viable I think, the Donington commercial vehicle 'do' is coming up sometime soon isn't it? quite a large autojumble so you might find one there?

Have you tried asking Sandy Glen if he has a spare?

I suggest that you do not worry about it for now. Restore the van and keep an eye out at Auto Jumbles and on Ebay. If all else fails show the van with the decrepid badge and someone will come up to you and tell you that they have one!!
