Sorry if this is a repost. I just spotted it. No connection to seller, etc.

This is cool. Currently sold out, but they'll make more with enough interest.

http://italianmotor.bigcartel.com/product/repro-experimental-department-sign-from-moto-guzzi-factory

In a far corner of the historic Moto Guzzi factory outside courtyard at Mandello del Lario, just past the wind tunnel which is slowly rusting away, there is a battered door to a large workshop which is always locked. The old sign on the door with its rusty rivets, weathered surface and faded, peeling letters says 'Reparto Sperimentale', which means 'Experimental Department' in English. Who knows what might have been invented there over the years? The V8? The Le Mans 1? Who has worked in there - Carcano, Carlo Guzzi, Lino Tonti, Dr John Wittner, Bruno Scola?

We have reproduced that wonderful sign having seen it and desired it every time we've been to Mandello because we wanted one for our workshop door - and now you can too. We've kept the patina of the original sign faded by time and encapsulated it into hard-wearing vinyl and PVC. Click on the photos below for a better look. Perfect for your shed, garage, workshop, man cave, living room, toilet door, wherever...

Each sign is 42cm (16.5 inches) wide x 14.8cm (6 inches) high, and made of high-quality 5mm thick PVC board used for outdoor signage, and weighs 140 grams. The graphic is printed directly onto the board using a unique 7 colour UV curing printer and ink that is highly durable outside so you could nail it your garage door. Easy to mount and drill - that's for you to do, no mounting points supplied. This is a high quality repro sign, not some crap cardboard cheap copy

Sorry, just trying to drum up enough interest so that they make more and I can get one.

Hope I've replied to most of you individually by now but due to popular demand I'm getting another batch done, should be ready in a couple of weeks, I'll post here too when completed...Adam.

Thanks, Adam. I'm the guy who inquired on your Facebook page.
Is it better to email you on your business site?

Just to let you guys know that the new batch of signs has arrived, ao I'll start shipping out Monday. Most are spoken for but if any else would like one please be quick! Cheers from blighty, Adam.

Chuck in Indiana · « **Reply #16 on:** October 16, 2015, 03:14:26 PM »

Just in time. The Kid is bringing his Spot down for a little clutch/transmission work, and we can have proper signage.

blackcat · « **Reply #17 on:** October 16, 2015, 05:35:48 PM »

Hi Dusty, I just checked here http://www.xe.com and you're currently looking at approx. $38.00 including Airmail shipping (shippping to anywhere in the world), and shipping anything from the UK ain't cheap nowadays.

veltro_nero · « **Reply #21 on:** October 17, 2015, 01:30:37 PM »

I got mine in the first batch of 20. I can vouch for it's quality, definitely the coolest sign in my shop.
