I recall a conversation at ADI (possibly with Mike?) about the parlous state of "someone's" S8 boot badge, offering a spare one I had.
Sadly I can't find it.
Had a look today in the one place it would be and found only a "4.2 V8" boot badge that had been bizarrely added to my S8 by a previous owner. 
(I didn't spot it but the sharp-eyed people here certainly did when I posted a rear-end shot of my new purchase! So it came off PDQ.)
As the spare badge had been put on my old S8 during bodywork repairs, and subsequently replaced (by me) by a genuine early one (from our sponsors) I can only assume I kept it with the car. So it's probably long gone to our sponsors via IT.
