Birmingham, UK, 2nd October 2024 – Vaughtons, a renowned British manufacturer with over two centuries of expertise, is unveiling a bespoke service specifically designed for the restoration of car badges and insignia. Known for creating iconic badges for prestigious automakers such as Aston Martin, McLaren, Bentley, and Gordon Murray, Vaughtons is expanding its offerings with a new initiative called Revive by Vaughtons, catering to classic car owners seeking the ultimate restoration touch.
This new service will be previewed at the upcoming Bicester Sunday Scramble on October 6th, 2024, and promises to breathe new life into faded, cracked, or damaged car badges, restoring them to their former glory. Vaughtons’ Managing Director, Nick Hobbis, expressed his excitement about the launch, stating: “Vaughtons has a long history of supplying badges and insignia to the world’s most prestigious car companies. Revive by Vaughtons is a natural extension of that extensive heritage and experience, and we look forward to helping owners bring their badges and insignia back to former glory.”
Drawing on the same level of craftsmanship that has made Vaughtons a leader in the industry, the Revive service uses original manufacturing processes to meticulously restore badges. The restoration begins by returning the item to its base material, stabilizing its structure, and carefully rebuilding the enamel and inserts. Whether the goal is to replicate the original design or introduce a new color scheme, each restoration is individually assessed, allowing owners to customize the revival of their cherished badges.
Vaughtons’ legacy in creating emblematic pieces extends far beyond the automotive industry. The Birmingham-based company has crafted medals for the 1908 London Olympics, FA Cup trophies, Premier League medals, and even the door plaques for the ill-fated Titanic. Moreover, Vaughtons supplies Royal Households around the world, further cementing its status as a pillar of craftsmanship and prestige.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Vaughtons made headlines with its philanthropic efforts, producing ‘Thank you’ pin-badges to raise funds for the NHS. More recently, the company has been approached by individuals interested in refurbishing medals from the 2024 Paris Olympics. In response, Vaughtons has generously offered British Olympic and Paralympic athletes complimentary restoration services for their medals.
Nick Hobbis shared the company’s pride in supporting British athletes: “We are so proud of our Olympic and Paralympic athletes. It would be an honour to help provide those athletes with a lifetime of care for their medals.”
Revive by Vaughtons arrives at a time when classic car restorations are increasingly focused on authenticity and detail, allowing enthusiasts to perfect every aspect of their vehicle’s history. For collectors and classic car owners seeking to restore their badges to pristine condition, Revive promises a bespoke service rooted in two hundred years of unparalleled expertise.
