Thread: 'Land Rover - Rover Australia Inc.' Badges

Not available as a new item AFAIK.
They'll come up on ebay from time to time.
Just gotta be in the right place at the right time.

I bought one from a wrecker. Cost me all of $5

This would be "Rover Australia Pty Ltd", not "Inc".

Pty is an abreviation for "proprietary", indicating it is a company whose shares are not traded publicly, and "Ltd" abbreviation fro "Limited", indicating that shareholder liability is limited to the authorised capital of the company. At the date of these badges "Inc" (for "incorporated" was never used in Australia.

There is a company in the UK that will make up similar badges, but I think they are just printed and not stamped, but I could be mistaken!
One of the guys on here, Ross, got one done for the rear of his vehicle and had an addition accross the bottom of it which read "Holden Powered"
It was a similar shape to the station wagon badge.
I cannot recall his username but he had a very detailed running thread on the restoration of his modified Ex Mil. LWB Series 3. It was a blue one with a white roof. Hopefully someone will recall his username and then you may be able to find a pic of the badge or even contact him to find out where he got it made.

Cheers, Mick.

Right you are .... that's what I meant haha

You will only find these on Series IIa, the Series III badges were plain and the Series I and Series II had either "Solihul Warwickshire" "England" or "Birmingham" "England" with the early 80" having only "Land-Rover".

There are at least two pressings of the Rover Australia Pty Ltd badges one with sharp edges and flat top on the "Land Rover" and another with more rounded lettering.

Watch ebay, they come up from time to time.

I will have to check which one I have

The ones that look like a station wagon badge look milled. I have one here that goes under the Land Rover badge that says "Four Wheel Drive" on one line and under it "3.5 litre V8"
