Years ago I had a Sunbeam Tiger - I'm sure the shifter bezel on that had the 'fomoco' stamping under the chrome, but memory may be playing tricks...

Suddenly I trust your memory more than mickmate's.  
Do you have any photos to share, or know of another Sunbeam owner that might be able to help out with that? I'm not going to give up on this one until I hear something more definitive. |

I've since gathered additional intel on this. It's quite possible that either a US or UK pre-production/prototype version of this bezel was produced in very limited quantities and that is what some have referenced in old photos or in memory. I'd still love to see at least a photograph of one just to get a feel for the FoMoCo stamping's size/scale and location on the actual part.

Just remembered this photo on p.67 of Rinsey Mills' Original AC Ace and Cobra (and it's exactly how I remember my Tiger bezel): |

I don't remember my trim ring having FOMOCO stamped on it.

I owe you a big THANKS for posting this. It proves that at one time they did exist, albeit most likely in very limited quantities (i.e. prototypes).
Now start searching those UK parts yards and find some Cobra gold!

Are you trying to tell me that I have two people performing national parts searches for an item that does not exist?!? |
