INVICTA radiator emblem : no chance for a picture without reflections

INVICTA (1925 - 1935) a marque whose reputation rests on one very rare model: the 4.5 - litre S Type of 1930/ 1931. By 1933 the Depression had killed off this tiny firm.

This original emblem is rare as the car. A very sought - after emblem. You have to look years after it.
