Does anyone know where I can get the "Turbo" decal for the rear of my 1989 110 fitted with a 19j engine. Managed to get all others but this one seems like hens teeth.
Thx

I don't off the top of my head, but I have heard they are hard to get now.
There is a Series 3, Ninety and One Ten Owners club. I have been in it before, but am not now.
Best suggestion I could make would be to get in touch with them for advice.
If they cannot help, you could look into getting some made, you would probably need to ask another owner if you could trace or measure theirs, and there are online services that make up decals and stickers. If you need to have a batch made, you might get some sale for the others, as they are hard to find.

Didn’t realise they used oval turbo decals?

It was Oval, black and white, about 8 inches across. and said Turbo on it.
You still see them on some vehicles now, though some people scraped them off when they fitted Tdi.
The sticker is the reason for my username. When I was joining the forum, I looked out of the window, and saw the sticker on the back of the Ninety which I then owned. So I typed in Turbo, and then added the suffix man, because I identify as a male person.

I can’t recall ever seeing those, but I’ll take your word for it!
So you weren’t just really quick at running then? Mine comes from the number plate and colour, genius.

I doubt if most people take much notice, Unless they have a Ninety or One Ten, which were only made for about 7 years. And not all had Turbodiesels.
I am never sure about the name, it sounds like some kind of superhero, and I haven't had the Ninety for years.
But I can't change it, and have got used to it by now.

I had always assumed yours came from having a dog, such as a Blue Heeler, or a Blue Merle corgi, inasmuch as I had thought about it at all.

I know as much about dogs as I do about Landies! Not a bloody lot.
 
Thx for the replies.
See the attached...this is the one that I am looking for, its on a 1989 110.
There are some on ebay at around £50 each!!!!
At that price it will be a "GB" sticker.

That is yet another sticker. My 89 Ninety had the oval black one, with white writing. I liked it, because it had a throwback to the Series grille badge, before green ovals came into existence.

Didn’t read his intro properly! The one I’ve listed looks to be the correct decal however.

Been looking into this a bit more, and it appears that my memory was incorrect on this occasion.
The Black Oval in fact says Land Rover, and is in effect a larger vinyl copy of the Series Grille badge.
The turbo decal is underneath, and says turbo. The font is fairly simple, and I would think it would be possible to hand paint one of those, possibly using wide masking tape cut out to form the letters before painting.
