Title: Eureka badges Post by: barsted on Saturday, 13 August, 2011, 11:41:05 AM Does anyone have good quality drawings or photos of the original Eureka badges that were on the front and rear of the car, showing the colour also? What were the sizes? I have B&W drawings of some but not the best quality.
Does anyone know what the letters "EFGP'' on the ribbon of the shield shaped badge means? Ted Title: Re: Eureka badges Post by: The Metalsmith on Saturday, 13 August, 2011, 10:46:00 PM Hi Ted,
EFGP means Eureka Fibre Glass Products. This was during the period when Allan was producing flares, spoilers and bodykits for a number of other cars. I'll dig my pics of the badges out. Simon Title: Re: Eureka badges Post by: WebGoat on Sunday, 14 August, 2011, 01:09:53 AM There's a reasonably decent colour photo of the shield shaped badge on page 70 in the Australian Classic Cars spliff featuring the Dweebster if that's any help Ted.
While viewing, please don't forget to savour the splendour that is Dweeby's fine jaded red leathergrain finish :roll: :'( ;) Here's the link to the article --> http://users.tpg.com.au/topazprk/eureka/eurekaarticle.htm (http://users.tpg.com.au/topazprk/eureka/eurekaarticle.htm) PP. Title: Re: Eureka badges Post by: barsted on Sunday, 14 August, 2011, 12:42:46 PM Thanks guys. Paul, Dweeby is a thing of beauty, just needs a buff these days! I've got that badge photo printed off. Just hoping to get a colour photo of the square one as well, with the Eureka flag and 'PURVIS' and 'EUREKA' above and below.
Simon, thanks for that info. I hope you might have a photo of the other badge. Ted Title: Re: Eureka badges Post by: bushboy on Sunday, 14 August, 2011, 01:49:07 PM G'day,
This is my coloured version of the square purvis eureka badge. I have it on the front of my reek here in the uk. Printed it on metalised permanent labels with a colour laszer jet printer. holding up ok after a couple of years (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y231/bushboy554/purvisemblemavitar.jpg) you are welcome to use it. bushboy Title: Re: Eureka badges Post by: barsted on Monday, 15 August, 2011, 08:33:17 AM Thank you Bushboy, appreciate the effort.
