Does anyone have a picture or anything of a dealer sticker from The Empire Garage,Sheffield.
Hoping to get one remade.
Thanks in advance.

Try speaking to Slackerthepinstiper didn't he paint a Lamby with this as a theme?

Hi.
Yes it was a S2 I have looked on here to try and find the photo but it must have been in the Jet set? I drop him a text to see if he replies.

Cheers Shane.

I did a series 1 for a good mate of mine but at the time we couldn't find any pics of the original sign.
We do know the original sign is in a garage in Sheffield somewhere but the owner is reluctant to get it out.
So I made up a logo going along the lines of what maybe a traditional Signwriter of the time would have done on a wagon.
I will dig the pics out.
