I might be on my own here, but I'm not too keen on the growler type badge and much prefer the winged version.

Anyone know if it's possible to pick one up?

There are some thumbnails attached to show what I'm after.

any ideas?

I think the winged badge is used by the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club, but where it originates from I don't know.

I think that winged badge is old style, Im sure ive seen in on an old saloon jag. I prefure the badge on the facelift grill to the little growler on my sport grill, may even consider swaping my if I can

The winged badge originates from the badge that was carried by the first Jaguars pre World War 2. William Lyons approved the name Jaguar for a new saloon car in 1936 and from then on to all the cars manufactured by his company. The badge was certainly carried by the SS100 and in fact it was on this model that the leaper first appeared. The badge in question does differ slightly from the pre war one but the basic form is the same. I would think it virtually impossible to obtain this badge as they were an integral part of the radiator/grill assembly and anyway would not be appropriate as they carry not only the name Jaguar but the model as well eg. SS 21/2 litre, whether a modern version like the one enquired about is obtainable I don't know, but I have never come across one. Hope this helps, best wishes, Geoff.

It might be too late for you, but you can get a Winged Jaguar boot badge from the Black Country Metalworks Ltd for a reasonable £29.99.
