Downton Window Sticker Age

[Supersonic]

My old friend Eric Patterson called with me on Friday night and gave me an original Kane of Comber Downton rear window sticker. Eric worked in Kane's for 37 years. It is 18-inches wide and 3.5-inches high. It is green and orange and reads ANOTHER DOWNTON CONVERSION Official Agents and below that PERFORMANCE and ECONOMY. What age would this sticker be is my question?

Almost certainly 1968, but certainly after that date, as it was about then that the slogan "Performance & Economy" was first used.

Would also dearly love to see a pic or two.

Very hard to photograph given the brown cover paper is still on it. Would these be hard to copy?

THANKS would love to have a repro for my collection

What a fantastic gift!

[mk1]

What a cracking acquisition!

I have only ever seen pictures of that sticker.

A Very, Very rare find indeed!

I'd be interested in getting a batch of repro ones done if thats OK with you.

[UHR850]

How did you came on that idea

I say, yes please would be great

It all depends on whether Supersonic is happy sharing a decent scan with me. I'd not be interested in doing them unless it was right.

I would be more than happy to donate this original Downton sticker to the Mk1 Performance Community Group. All I would ask is that I get two reproduction stickers as part of the deal. It would be next week before I would be able to post this to Mark. I would send it by Royal Mail recorded delivery. I would be happy to see the reproduction stickers make some much needed funding for this forum group.

Thats absolutely brilliant Alan.!

I would certainly want to buy one..

[Jamie]

Very generous, I'd happily buy one!

I'd be more than interested in a couple if it pans out.

Many thanks Alan you are a gentleman.
I would like to have two reproductions.
One will be in my 1973 mk3, the other
in my collection of Downton things.

Hi Alan,

That would be absolutely fantastic!

You have PM.

I would like for my 997 that was new registered in Bournemouth, so not too far to travel to get my Cooper Downton converted back in the day ( if only )
ok for me if the finished repro had some pat & tina look to the finish display.

[Prooij]

Very nice one! Really briljant! Will certainly buy 2

[AndyB72]

Nice one Alan! Good man.

[mk1]

Thank's to Alan's generosity, I should have a batch of repro stickers available in a couple of weeks or thereabouts.

Here's an image to wet your whistles.

[UHR850]

Yes that's the picture I was putting on here.
Very nice one and always was very curious
about the sticker on the window.
