I'm after a vinyl letter set to go across the lower glass panel on the back of my Tasmin racer. Could you please put me in touch?

If you have a laser printer you could print up the 'TASMIN' onto acetate sheet, enlarging as necessary, then stick it into the window.

The typeface is similiar to Serpentine (well the numbers on the 350i, 400SE are anyhow). TVR made them up so its not an exact typeface.

Best thing would be to either give racegraphics a call or scan the image in as straight as possible, retrace it using vector paths in a drawing package coreldraw, Adobe illustrator, Freehand etc and then give it to anybody who has a vinyl cutter.

Scanning the image (at 300+ dpi) from one of the old TVR brochures would be best as a base image to retrace. They used to do spec sheets in black and white with a largish model name at the top would be ideal.

If you simply scan it in then when they enlarge the image without turning it to vector paths first would mean the edges would be like a sawtooth.
