Nürburgring Badges . . .

[dirk07]

with all the respect to the Grüne Hölle, only those drivers who drove this track with a certain car should mount a badge like this on this certain car.

In all likelihood, Dirk, he probably did drive it; he was a true car guy then and from what I know of him, he was always a car guy.

. . . I'll add to the thread. My girlfriend was born in Germany. Her dad was in the service at Zweibrucken Airbase, and him and his wife lived there starting in 1958. Being in a car guy, he bought a used red 356 almost immediately and started doing rallies with his wife as navigator . . .

. . . Here is his car...don't know the year; possibly a 55 or 56 . . .

Whew ---- dooooooon't think so

Top --- Body-bumpers + un-slotted wheels = start-of-production ~'50-to-early '52 (?)

Bottom --- 'bent' windshield (no 'split') = '52-to-'54 . . . same car?

Also, unusual outside-rear-view placement


Super-cool badges, btw ---- + thanks for posting!

Came across this one, recently --- with a crisp + properly umlauted citation on the back!

Some slight differences --- no scribing on the mounting tabs + brighter finishing . . . but bright/sharp detailing = a handsome bit

That’s my old Nürburgring badge.
I would like to mount it again but haven’t found nuts,bolts and washer yet.

Now if you want a CAR to go with the badge, check out my period Martini Nürburgring Batmobile!

What an absolutely awesome thread, Rick!

Early 52 Coupe....body bumpers and non-split window give it away.

Agree, I'm not a badge guy and only ever wanted to add this to mine. I felt it was warranted only after I drove the ring (12 laps) in 2011.

I’d like to get an original late 60’s badge.

I haven’t driven the Ring but my car’s done a few hundred laps.

I wouldn’t mount it on the car but instead perhaps a block of walnut.

Anyone have one?
