Have you seen this film of a 1932 Dealers Show room, the only sign in the show room says “Overseas” all very bland.

Although do you have one of theses signs.
In going through the Austin Dealers lists there is over 1,000 Dealers in 1936, compared with Triumph who for the same year list about 60, I don’t know how that would compare with any Triumph dealer signs you have seen.

As a matter,of interest, this sign first appeared in the Austin Service manuals for March/April 1931 and was priced at £4.17.6d. It was also stated that there were a few of the enamel signs still available at £12/6d.
I have just one of the re-manufactured signs available at - wait for it - £198. Plus P&P. The next sign to be re-manufactured will be the one which suggests that KLG spark plugs are the only ones fitted in Austin engines. Let me know if interested.
