Serif script Roundels

Howdy all,

 

I'm looking for an early, Serif script Roundel (or two) for the 2000CS resto. Anyone out there with a spare? ...hope so.

Thanks, Nick!

 

I have seen several with this silvery color. I'm not sure what causes this, or if that is the original finish... Otherwise, that badge is in good condition.

I've been waiting for this character to chime in. He does make a compelling offer, though...<_<

Say hello to Terry! He donated a mint rear deck trim to my TISA countless years ago and I am so grateful!! It has been suggested to repaint them with Testors Model Paint but I suspect with airbrush skills or who has done them is a better bet than my attempting...

I redid mine with Testors model paint, then sprayed them with clear. I had a very poor one that I practiced on, first. It’s not cloisonné, but they came out acceptably.

The trick is thinning the paint and dropping it into the recesses of the Roundel; letting the paint flow and filling the recess. 

 

It takes practice. Brushing unthinned paint will leave streaks.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
