2V 250 Labels

[Anonymous]

I am in the process of restoring an XY GS with a 2V 250. I have the original aircleaner and rocker cover but they have been chromed.
I intend to restore them back to their original a burnt orange colour. I have had no luck however trying to find out what kind of stickers were on the aircleaner for the 2V. The V8's had a chequered flag thingy.
I have been told that it could be reproduced if I could get a photo.
Does anyone here know what they looked like and could they download something onto the site.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have some ancient car mags around here somewhere... i think there maybe something in them. Give me a couple of days to have a scratch around for them.

Can't credit it because I got it off Deano, and haven't a clue where he found it.



Best I have, though.

Cheers, Adam.

BTW, I have 2 pack in the authentic block colour, but no match for the air cleaner.

Sensational.
There is a place in Melbourne where they tell me they can reproduce.

Any other photos would be appreciated.

Its my understanding that they also had a "170 HP" chrome badge on the side of the fender when fitted with a 250 2V.
I attempted to get one that I had heard of at rare spares for $40 It was sold by the time I made the two hour trip to get it.
Its nice to see your building an original.

The 170HP badges are available as repros for about $25 each. The real hen's teeth one says "2V" in chunky red(?) letters and was on the sides of the XA guards. Probably 20 years since I saw one. They're all sold out and not remade. I was quoted $12-1500 for a small run, needing a mint one as "donor".

Regards, Adam.

Cool, a compliment! Try GT Ford Performance in Vic, maybe Early Bird down there, too. The latter might have one of the rare ones mentioned...

What don't I tell? Not much. I like a level playing field.

Thanks guys. These were the guys who said they could reproduce if I could get a photo.
Their shop is fantastic. I have bought online and visited the shop 3 times when I'm in Melbourne.
I spend hours on their site.
Dave the owner is passionate about Ford. The shop is a shrine to ford.
The floor is granite with Ford steering wheel inlay. He's got old Ford ad printing plates for ads they ran. I could go on and on!
