This is such a great use of an old garage! A great cafe too by the sounds of it.

Magna is looking for logos or other contemporary signage to replicate a scheme on a car. I assume.

This might help ? Reading History Forum, especially the "Vanished Car Dealers" area, if you register and ask, there may well be someone that can help.

good luck https://reading-forum.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... ilit=penta

Actually first post mentions Penta and if you search within the subject there is a recovery truck with a Penta logo on it. :D
