For my money it would be one of the 2 existing Hudson's Balloon signs. Much rarer than BP Winner and great imagery. |

I've never been interested in motoring signs but I can appreciate why the 'Winner' is so sought after. Its a simple yet iconic image reflecting the golden age of motor racing... Brooklands, Bugatti and all that. I prefer small, pictorial signs with strong graphics advertising products like this Robin. Its all a matter of personal taste.

I have never seen one Banjo, you have reminded me that I once had the small Edwards Desicated Soup sign which I swapped to Chris Gordon - its the one in the book -aaargh what a mistake! |

No Banjo, I have never seen a small Komo, was it the Imp? - I still have my Komo which I bought from him, it had a large hole in it which I repaired, yellow background. I still have my two boys sitting on a collar I also bought from him - he had wonderful stuff, although a lot of it went straight to London dealers. It was dazzling going round to his flat, just about every week the floor was piled high with the latest finds. |

The BP Winner didn't sell then, it reached £10.000, but no higher. |

It makes you wonder if a nearly mint one was £30k I would have thought that £10k was a good price for a scruffy one. |

Half of that would have been too much !!!
Somebody had more £10K than sense !
But were luckily saved by a reserve !
Sorry but makes you wonder what the seller was actually after ?
