The most known rallies and trial that occurred in Australia are the REDEX, AMPOL and MOBILGAS trial of the 1950s -1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A WORD OF caution 99% OF REDEX\/AMPOL\/MOBILGAS TRAIL BADGES ADVERTISED FOR SALE ARE replicas. All made by an unscrupulous South Australian dealer. He originally used a spin cast production method, resulting in a thicker badge, however his later badges are almost perfect and difficult to tell from the extremely rare genuine versions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Displayed on the same board are NRMA and RACQ Motorfest badges, The Red Mobilgas badge 6th row 3rd from left is a FAKE badge dated 1957 the unscrupulous dealer was so greedy he made a badge for that year copying a 1958 badge … idiot did not realise the in 1957 it was called a RALLY and 1958 it was called a TRIAL, also the badge was of a different design. The genuine badges are extremely rare only being issued to contestants who finished the grueling trials<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAKE BADGE
BEWARE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This AMPOL badge is a FANTASY<\/strong> badge. These badges were manufactured by a greedy individual and sold off as a genuine 1950s badge, purely for the sake of making money. No such genuine badge was ever made, although radio personality, Jack Davies, did in fact own a service station in Queensland. The same individual also manufacture many lapel badges for a variety of products … they are all FANTASY or FAKES, some are shown on the Fakes and Fantasy page on this site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
