I think I might turn this into a series of posts on interesting Kuwait related items that I lost bidding on. The previous ones I’ve posted about were the “Andy Warhol Signed Catalog from Kuwait Exhibit” and “Ahmadi Desert Motoring Club Car Badge“. Adding to those two, I just lost a bidding war on another car badge, this time one belonging to the Kuwait International Touring and Automobile Club. Not a lot of info on the badge but I’m guessing its dating back to the 60s which would make it a nice addition on my Alfa Romeo. I hope whoever bought it isn’t going to hide it in a drawer somewhere, I was actually planning to mount this on my car’s front grill for everyone to see and enjoy.
On the bright side, I did find a copy of “The Kuwait International Touring and Automobile Club – Tourist Guidebook to Middle East Countries” dating back to 1966. You can download the PDF by clicking here.

Which items did you win in bidding?
Related to Kuwait? hmmm, mostly books, the 35mm slides i posted about last week, not much really. There isn’t much I’m interested in (objects wise) and when there is the bidding is usually pretty fierce.
the “Ahmadi Desert Motoring Club Car Badge” links to the wrong page. 🙂
thanks just fixed it
Can you get a replica made? Would it be illegal to get that done? You can weather/ age it a bit for that used worn out look
You could get a replica made but it wouldn’t be the same
The PDF is very interesting but the file you linked to is only 10 pages. Do you have the full version? Also which auction websites do you use to find these collector items about Kuwait? Thanks.
No only thing I found
Sorry for the bid loss, that would have looked awesome on your grill. I’ve never tried shopping by bidding, I don’t think I would like that experience, especially when on the losing side!
Most of the bidding actually takes place in the last 5 minutes. I hate auctions and would rather have the buy now option but with items like this where the value is unknown you need an auction system.
How much did it go for Mark?
The only bids I’m winning nowadays is on cars I’m buying in the Forza Horizon 4 auction house 😂
110kd
😱
Hi Mark. My Dad was posted in Kuwait and has lots of Kuwaiti vintage items including the badge that you missed out on at the top of this article. Would you like to start a dialogue with me?
hey yeah, just emailed you
