Original Vintage Avon British Tyres Enamel Sign. This is a real head turner of an enamel sign advertising Avon Tyres. The colours are brilliant and such a diverse mix of Orange, White, Grey, Green and Black. They are BRITISH MADE. The sign measures 36 inches in height by 60 inches in width (92cm x 153cm). The colours are still quite good for this early to mid 20th Century sign and it is all original including some of the usual scratches. It has come up a treat after a clean and still would be a “must have” on any mancave, workshop, garage or for the petroliana collector. “Avon” has a very interesting history from manufacturing clothes, gas masks, golf balls but their reputation established themselves as leaders of rubber based products. Their first car tyres were advertised in 1906 in the UK and between 1958 and 1963 every world solo motorcycle champion chose “Avon tyres” and many world records were broken with machines fitted with Avon tyres. It was purported that an Aston Martin won the Le Mans World Car Sports Car Championships with Avon Tyres fitted during that.
