Original Downton Memorabilia

Downton Badge

This is an example of a genuine Downton Rocker cobver / boot badge. They were fitted to many of the cars fitted with Downton equipment throught the 60's. Although repros are being made nowadays, none of them are even vaguely like the real thing, pictured here.

Downton Keyring.

Oh boy, am I pleased to be able to get to the bottom of this one. Here is an example of an original Downton key ring. once again very close to the repros but not really close enough to be confused once you have seen a real one. (Image courtesy of Ray Shepherd).
