Alexg 12,932 Posted March 4, 2015 I'm surprised given all the replica vintage stickers/tax holders etc available on eBay you can't get some of these... Above belonging to http://s275.photobucket.com/user/naskeet/media/GB-SealinkBritishFerries0001_zpsc8e9db62.jpg.html The following are screen grabs from this dudes collection, plenty more here - https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/sets/72157619390349538/ I love the Hoverspeed but this is the honey and the one I want on the Allegro... preferably incorporating the mirrored BR logo.... ...there doesn't seem to be any old ones kicking about on ebay either, so is there a market to try get some of these knocked up? (not that I have the faintest idea where and how to start). 14 500tops, Mr Lobster, mitsisigma01 and 11 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DS20 717 Posted March 4, 2015 I'd be interested, were they for sale In the '80s, in Sussex (where I grew up), Sealink seemed to be the favoured option. I remember seeing loads of the top ones, although that might have been the '90s by then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Lobster 4,437 Posted March 4, 2015 A Townsend Thoresen one might not be entirely politically correct.Hence I want one. I have one on my R4. Old red R4 had one as well. Tbh it didn't bother anyone, even the people at Dover harbour liked it "bloody hell, not seen a Townsend sticker in years" etc. TT were in general a very popular company prior to the Herald and everyone who commented seemed pleased to see it. I've got a spare one somewhere so when I get round to buying a scanner I can scan it (and a few others) if anyone wants copies. 5 scruff, Junkman, Dick Van Diesel and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Lobster 4,437 Posted March 4, 2015 ...there doesn't seem to be any old ones kicking about on ebay either, so is there a market to try get some of these knocked up? Yes! Do it.

Alexg 12,932 Posted November 20, 2015 Ok folks, a bit of patient eBaying using their excellent search alert function has allowed me to steadily collect these over the past few months. Chuffed to get the Townsend Thoresen this week but mainly loving the Sealink one - Look at the size of it!Planning to get some duplicates run off in the new year, so if any shitters see something they want a copy of reply here and I'll advise as and when. EDIT - No Hoverspeed as I don't have one to replicate - just what is here 11 oldcars, Angrydicky, mercrocker and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
