Ferrari sign

[MrC986]

Hi, have any of you been watching the auction for the dealer sign on Collecting Cars?! That’s a serious garage sign now given it’s nearly £7k plus commission!

I was slightly taken aback by what the sign sold for as I was watching it (I have the same sign but without the frame & not quite as "mint" condition )

The one auctioned was a copy? I see there's various 'repro' Ferrari signs on eBay.

The sign I have is definitely original....my uncle had a dealership in the Midlands in the 1980s & it came from there when they closed down (albeit the actual frame/illuminated bits were left on the front wall of the garage) The one auctioned by CC was apparently new “old stock” from Italy I believe which is why it fetched over £7k.
