Confused and its happened before.

My car is a 2010 and it has the badge showing 50 years?   Why the difference in years?

That badge came out in 2007, which was "50 years" of the Seven, and Caterham continued to use it for several years.  Apparently to include your 2010.  In 2007--I don't know for how long--you could order a large decal very similar to the nose badge that went across the bonnet.

@Frankie are you asking why they were still using that badge on a 2010, or why there have been two 50-year anniversary badges with different starting years?  If the latter, the one above was to celebrate the start of the Lotus Seven in 1957.  The more recent badge was to celebrate Caterham taking over production in 1973.

I knew the smart ones would help me.    All I had to do is ask.   Thanks guys.

Am I the only one picturing the parts manager staring at the procurement guy and saying, "You ordered 1,000? Oh, great, you got a discount! But what in the bloody h*ll are we going to do with 1,000 badges?!?"
