Rootes Logo on ash tray lid

[bkasl]

My 1961 S2 had a very thin metal Rootes logo attached to the lid of the center ash tray when I first purchased the car in 1971. Completely lost track of it but it was about 2" in diameter and was about the thickness of a tin can, I can still faintly see the outline of where it was attached. Was this standard or did previous owner get creative and add?
Thanks

P Omay have been creative.

No logos on them.. The ashtray was a comon part to many brit cars and they were just fitted as a chrome lid

My S2 '61 does not have an ash tray. Where was it mounted?

this shows where it sets on all Alpines.

I am cleaning up 2 ashtrays I've found. 50+ years of nicotine stain is a pain.

That is a beautiful interior

The Alpine / Tiger ash tray is different from the unit used by MG and others. The Rootes unit has a flange on each side to mount it to the base that fastens to the floor. The others don't have this flange and are fastened by screws in the center of the base. Other than that they look the same.

The embossed logo does sound like a nice touch. I wonder how hard it would be to make a 'stamp' that could add it.

The center emblem of aftermarket shift knobs would do the job. Just epoxy it to the lid.
