c. 1960 Original Lambretta EIBAR Illuminated Dealer Sign
'New Old Stock' two-sided
Original and rare Spanish Lambretta dealers sign
'New Old Stock'
In almost 'as new' condition
An extremely rare original Lambretta EIBAR dealer illuminated two-sided sign. Purchased from the Colin Bunn collection and found in a Lambretta dealer's premises in Spain in the 1990s when it closed down. It has never been used and can only be described as a phenomenal collector's item. This is not a reproduction, but a 100% original 1960s item.
The light is 120v and comes with a transformer for UK 240v electricity. The old-style twin tubes and starters have been renewed with traditional old-style tubes. This is a well-made sign by the company Elaboracion Plasticos Espanoles (EPE) of Madrid. The light measures 75cm x 55cm x 16cm and the maximum distance from the wall is 110cm. The splayed fixing points (to fix into concrete) are still present, although a devised temporary wall fitting was used in the showroom. Such illuminated Lambretta dealer signs are highly sought after, adding a fantastic final touch to any collection or garage. This item must be collected from the auction. Specialist couriers however can be arranged for UK buyers at cost.
