Not sure on the originals.

But was thinking French Script in the Haughins lettering.

Not really Bill Gates when it comes to the old PC

I have put "Haughins" on a word sheet in french script and it gave me basically what looks right.

This is taking it from another SX.

I would just like to put the creators name of this special cars name back on this unique car,

'Serpentine' looks about right and then horizontally scaled to about 90% - me thinks.

Just been through my quite large pile of SX stuff as I thought I might have some spares - I think they got used when I hit a bit of wildlife on a country road and rooted the spoiler.

If you get stuck I'll have a go at doing a tracing off mine - bit like brass rubbing I suppose

If it were photographed (digitally), couldn't it be made into a decal using something like 'Coreldraw' ?

I need some 400SE ones.

When I had my rear respray I took the precaution of properly photographing the decals before the job. I had visions of the "Haughins" disappearing from the rear. I used a ruler in the photo for scale, too.

A friend of mine can do vinyl cutting and was prepared to do the decals for about a tenner each in case it all went wrong but in the end the bodyshop did a fantastic job and I can't tell the difference really....
