      It was actually advertised for £3, I phoned to say I would collect the following day but got a text later to say he had been offered a tenner so I offered £15 and collected tonight. Well chuffed, anyone got the finis codes for the escort and cosworth badges for a big turbo model. What's the difference between small turbo and big turbo cosworth badges?

        the small turbo badges are the single letter chrome type.

        the bt badges are plastic covered in a chrome finish and are in one piece not single.

        just look at a few pics of the cars and you can easy tell the difference.

        the escort badges can go for around £30, same as the cosworth badges.

              So is it just the RS badge that fetches the money?

                    When is the switch over between the badges? Is there a date that it switched from one type to the other?
                    Mine has the newer type but I prefer the older type style....

                        Thanks Ian...
                        Mine is late 1995 so I am guessing it should have the newer style badging....

                        Must try to get a new set of these - wonder if the ESCORT lettering is hard to get new these days...??

                              Yea I think there are 2 different shades of blue, but really I couldn't give a crap, blue is blue to me.

                              I might have one in my glovebox
