Now you're giving your age away.:whistle:
I THINK the RAC was 1st.
The "real badges" stopped in the 70's,like a lot of other good things.
My 1st car was a Ford 100e van,vacuum wipers,went fast when you slowed down & slow when you accelerated.What mechanical bliss.Confusedcratch:
What I really miss is the man with the red flag.:whistleSad& steam)Rolleyes
