THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL COLLECTORS ITEM.... I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER ONE..! .. PLEASE READ ON AS THE PICTURES TELL THE STORY ALL I NEED TO ADD IS THAT MR AND MRS GARNAUD WERE VERY GOOD FRIENDS OF MINE. I REMEMBER WHEN HE SET OFF WITH ANOTHER EXTREMELY PROMINENT RREC MEMBER TO SURVEY THE ROUTE TO "LE CANADEL" IN 1976 TO SAMPLE SUITABLE HOTELS TO USE FOR THE IMMINENT RALLY TO THE SOUTH OF FRANCE .. AND WHAT PLEASURE AND FUN HE HAD DOING IT ...WOW... LUCKY MAN...! AFTER THE RALLY THE FOLLOWING YEAR THE RREC PRESENTED MR ROBERT GARNAUD WITH THIS BADGE FOR THEIR GRATITUDE. WHEN HE DIED IN 1989 HIS WIDOW GAVE THE BADGE TO ME .... I HAVE CHERISHED IT ALL THOSE YEARS BUT I NO LONGER OWN A ROLLS ROYCE ANY MORE AND FEEL THE TIME HAS COME FOR IT TO MOVE ON TO AN ENTHUSIASTIC AND APPRECIATIVE NEW HOME PLEASE NOTE THIS BADGE HAS NEVER BEEN FITTED TO ANY CAR AND IS STILL IN ITS' ORIGINAL BOX. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY UNDER THE "N" IN "FRANCE" THERE IS A SLIGHT MARK IN THE CHROME .... IN MY OPINION IT MAY HAVE BEEN A FLAW IN THE CASTING OR SUFFERED SOME DAMAGE ... BUT REMEMBER IT WAS MADE NEARLY 40YEARS AGO.
