Nice pick-up, Nice Bentley ! At least the valuable bit of the sign has fared better than the script half. There was one on ebay recently, but I recollect it was smaller? Purely out of interest where was the sale Joe? |

Well spotted. I'm only there for the Sunday, Joe (29th). Presumably you'll be back at the depot then? |

To trim or not to trim that is the question. |

Surely you shouldn't even think of chopping it! It is perhaps the only surviving example in this size, and to cut it up would be dreadful!
(It's interesting that only the large version appears to have additional blue enamel on the car image!) |

Has it already been done along that crease line through the script? |
