Hi Tim,

I will try to answer your request although I cannot comment specifically on your van as you appear to have one of the later models.

The side and rear decal. These are simply a vinyl two colour decal that could be traced out and replicated by a decent sign company. If I’m able to identify the font I will do so and place a reference to it on the forum at a later date.



The front metal emblem. This is not so easy to replicate although not impossible if you can find someone to do it. I have seen very similar items on other brands of caravan but obviously the middle section is brand specific and being a one piece moulding makes them not interchangeable. My one is soon to be removed from the caravan where it will be repainted and polished. It is not enamelled unlike some I’ve seen.



Good luck, Mark...

If anyone has a contact for sticky front signs I would be interested in one for my own van as well.

Mine however looks like a copy of the metal one with the round logo but obviously sticky type.

Hello Tim. Sorry, I'm only just seeing this now. Unfortunately my badge is the same as the one on Mark's caravan.

Has anyone looked into getting new graphic decal/stickers replicated and cost or is it cost prohibitive to get them done?
Surely if there was enough interest or orders placed someone would do it at a reasonable run off.
Has anyone any contacts in this area?

Cheers

A couple of years ago I knew someone who had some very rare Land Rover decals reproduced. From memory I think the originals were traced out and then the printing firm worked their magic on the computer. I suspect the traced image was scanned on and then airbrushed accordingly. These consisted of 13 characters using a two colour font much like the Windrush design on vinyl (or whatever stickers are made of) albeit probably one and a half times the size of the Windrush lettering. They were a perfect match in every respect. As far as I know he had about ten sets made up (two decals per set) and he was selling the sets for £25.00 a go, so obviously not cost prohibitive in my opinion.

With each owner requiring simply the word WINDRUSH and up to three stickers per van I can’t see it being too costly to have them put into production.
