It is still available through TRF. I have one for my Mk. 3 restoration
project. It's a single badge that mounted on the front left of the
bonnet top surface. Unfortunately, it's about $40, but it is a nice
reproduction. I have seen two different Spits at british car shows
recently that had the ORIGINAL still mounted - both were '70 Mk.3's, and
both were US versions.
