Well I have done a set for James and Ben for the Cunningham and they wer both totally different, if you can send me a picture of what you have in mind I will try to identify the font. Sometimes it simply will not be available as a computer font if hand drawn especially if originally hand done and the sign painter used a bit of artistic bent in which case I may have to alter manually but I will do my best for you.

BTW I have a very good traditional hand sign writer who works with me on occassions for the final word in originality so if anyone wants hand painted stuff he is your man but it dont come that cheap as time is money.

I always have a chuckle at the Brockbank cartoon where the number painter did his stuff, and put the Ferrari ones in Roman Numerals.
OK, maybe you had to see it. |

I have a Brockbank calendar in my garage - always raises a smile. He was always spot on.
I think the nearest we have to him today in terms of humour is Matt in The Daily Telegraph. |

Painted in Worthing 51 years ago. She's a bit tatty round the edges, but irreplaceable.

Nice one Ben, I sent yours out with James's but unfortunately his never arrived in time, try to give me a bit more lead in guys we are only a small outfit. Is the car at Goodwood Ben as it looks a hell of a beast and I would like a look?

Yes it is. We're in the Freddie March Trophy - last race on saturday (assuming it's finished - still flat out on it). Please come and say hi.
