Europa Garage Banners
« on: Sunday,December 31, 2023, 10:56:47 PM »
Hi folks,

No affiliation with the seller but I came across these adds on UK Ebay over the weekend. I've no idea if these are cheap or not but my initial impressions were that they seem reasonably priced for something that's 4' long ?

They do look reasonably priced, and would be interesting to pursue if I had that much open wall space. Do you have any idea why they mostly obscure the Lotus emblems with those sheets of paper in the corners? Copyright issues maybe?

On one of their adverts they say that the Lotus emblem is covered due to copyright.

I'm not sure why, Ebay is full of sellers showing the Lotus roundel on their stuff, I bought a set of wheel centres from Ebay and that clearly showed both the black badge and green/yellow badges. Perhaps the seller has run into trouble with copyright lawyers before because they've covered their Porsche emblems but let Ferarri, MG and Triumph be shown clearly.

Anyway I've ordered the S1 Europa banner so I'll post here on the quality when it arrives.
