For over 200 years, Vaughtons has been synonymous with precision craftsmanship, creating some of the world’s most iconic medals, insignia, and automotive emblems. Nestled in Birmingham’s renowned jewelry district, Vaughtons has long been the go-to for the finest badges, supplying marques like Aston Martin, Bentley, and McLaren. Now, the historic company is bringing its centuries-old expertise to the world of automotive restoration with the launch of Revive by Vaughtons, a bespoke badge restoration service aimed at classic car enthusiasts.
The launch of Revive comes in response to growing demand from owners and collectors who want their restoration projects to be perfect down to the smallest details — like the badges that have adorned their vehicles for decades. With this new service, Vaughtons offers classic car owners the chance to restore cracked, faded, or damaged emblems to their former glory using the same meticulous craftsmanship that has made them the choice of luxury automakers for generations.
“Vaughtons has a long history of supplying badges and insignia to the world’s most prestigious car companies,” says Nick Hobbis, Managing Director of Vaughtons. “Revive by Vaughtons is a natural extension of that heritage and experience, and we look forward to helping owners bring their badges and insignia back to their original splendor.”
Vaughtons isn’t just a name; it’s a symbol of British craftsmanship that dates back to 1819. From producing the gold medals for the 1908 London Olympics to crafting the iconic FA Cup trophy and even creating door plaques for the Titanic, the firm has a legacy steeped in some of the world’s most prestigious events and institutions. Their automotive badges — like the iconic Aston Martin wings — are meticulously designed, featuring intricate detailing that speaks to both the artistry and technical excellence that define Vaughtons’ reputation.
With a team of highly skilled artisans, Vaughtons utilizes time-honored techniques alongside modern innovations to breathe new life into each badge. This means that owners no longer have to settle for subpar replicas or imperfect restorations. Instead, they get the same quality and attention to detail that defines Vaughtons’ new production badges for brands like McLaren and Gordon Murray.
With the launch of Revive by Vaughtons, classic car owners now have access to a unique service that not only restores a badge but respects its history and craftsmanship. For those looking to keep their vehicle’s heritage intact or even collectors seeking to preserve a piece of automotive art, Revive by Vaughtons offers a rare opportunity to blend authenticity with artistry.
Whether you’re restoring a vintage Jaguar or preserving a piece of family history, Revive by Vaughtons ensures that every detail — from the iconic emblem on the hood to the smallest crests and badges — is as perfect as it was when the car first rolled off the production line.
