FAKE??~ since 1925?, I Have read that there where similar concepts, but porsche became involved about 1933 for the vw is this right!
The speell, just seems over the top & I learned techniques @ school, to make things look old, rust, the lettering just looks wrong. the 3 listed are all identical in appearance!??
Its cool as a repo, just needs to be said without the bs!!or is it legit!
thoughts~ cheers

I always keep a 1925 prototype tucked away in a barn somewhere, just in case of a cash shortage.

looks like BS to me, how would the sign rust and the pinstriping stay there.
PS, see you Saturday Sime.

Its repro. the same as the old Victa mower signs and others i have seen about the place.

yeah, was thinking the same as rhett, stripes over rust is a joke.

yeah you would think that going to all that trouble they would get their dates right. Just had a look at his other items, kombi, monaro and an EK, and guess what they're all original and rare. I suppose some people will believe anything. I used to make aged repro signs a long time ago and used to sell them at swaps and rod shows, but i would never try to pass them off as original. Phil
