@AutofileClasssics You say the seller has lots of memorobilia, I've been looking for a magnetic marelli illuminated sign from the 70's...yellow with blue lettering for the words magnetic marelli. Does he have one of these?

Good Morning everyone, Happy Thursday, Merry May, and welcome to the auction of this incredibly rare DOUBLE SIDED EUROPEAN CASTROL SIGN. You won't be seeing too many of these around, that's for sure.

If you’re any kind of Memorabilia aficionado, or even if you’re just a casual fan, you know that authentic and original signs from this era aren’t terribly common. That makes this offering that much more special because of the amazing original patina, and overall completeness of the sign. We’re estimating that it's from the late 70’s, which additionally helps set this offering apart.
This sign is out of a local collection that happens to be owned by a long time friend who is actually a HUGE Porsche guy. For decades, he’s been finding and collecting some of the rarest memorabilia, Porsche or otherwise, that you’ve ever seen; signs, plaques, clocks, crests, die cast models, you name it, he’s got it. His memorabilia collection takes up almost as much room as his car collection; and that’s REALLY saying something.
Now, with the kids out of the house, and their rooms already filling with some of these collectibles, the realization has set in that he can’t possibly display everything. And with eventual downsizing in mind, his larger items are unfortunately having to go. So, the decision has been made to part with this long-standing part of the collection.
Over the next few days, I’ll be presenting this unique sign. Folks who follow my auctions know that I’ve always got a stash of back up pictures to add in as we go; and this listing is no exception. I’ll try to keep things as interesting as possible with the discussion as well as the picture adding as we closely inspect every part of the sign.
So, check out the already posted pictures, but get ready for much more to come. Have a great Thursday everyone.
