I am pretty sure that is a British Automobile Association badge. I seem to remember seeing some the same on some old cars when I was over there. Dont know if the early Australian ones were the same though.

There are a stack of them for sale on English ebay. They look very cool.

thanks for the info,
seems that these badges are a type of nrma style membership badge in the uk or states .i am happy to say that mine looks cleaner than the other ones i saw on the ebay thread above.

Yep,
Automobile Association badge with membership number. English though. Aust equiv were RACV, NRMA, RACQ etc. Price is right for one in reasonable cond. Looks right on that thing of yours. (Anything would though).

Limbug · 26 Oct 2004, 9:17 pm

I got one of these last year in NZ. The "AA" stands for Automobile Association which correct if wrong is universally used throughout the world except Australia who use NRMA, RACQ etc
