Yes it is cast aluminium and quite large as you can , The same guy had a rectangle light up Morris sign , but it was to strong money for me , He was asking £200

I saw it this morning and was tempted!! Really disappointed with the rest of the stuff there today though and it was a tenner to get in!! There was not alot else there to be honest. I spotted some tired early headlamp rims but BMC wise that really was it!

Nice bit of kit for you though!

Nice buy!

I haven't been to Newark for years.

I sort of fell out of love with it when all you could hear was "I can get so much for it on ebay, ebay, ebay, ebay"

Sounds like not much has changed.

Ebay has killed Newark. It now consists of bike stuff, tools, repro trinkets, plant pots and assorted crap. Still, I have good memories of buying mk1 Cosmics, a new SPQR major change, hexagon top master cylinders, a RH tank or 2, a Helibore steering wheel for £4, a PD pump for £2. Not all on the same day I hasten to add. Yesterday was about as bad as I have known it. All I got was a Morris Minor heater (to convert to Mini) and a 64 DR3A wiper motor needing restoration.

Mark its first time I have been in a couple of years, last time I went it was dead. I needed some stainless bolts ect for my plastic pig and been told its a lot better. It was busy , large queue at 10 am outside , coopertim did the early bird £10, after 10 am £6, , mostly motorbike jumble.
The guy had nice Morris light up oblong sign .but wanted £200 for it ., best part was when I got my wife did not growl and say what rubbish have bought this time.
