Available for auction is this exceptional Rothmans Racing Porsche dealership sign. A true gem for collectors and enthusiasts alike, this rare sign boasts a captivating blend of design and heritage. Measuring a square 18 inches, it proudly displays the iconic Rothmans Racing logo and coat of arms above the distinguished Rothmans name, accompanied by the striking Porsche sans serif logo in vibrant red at its base.



Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the sign features a sleek black aluminum case that encases a translucent plastic panel illuminated by energy-efficient LED lighting. It comes complete with a European power cord, along with a convenient US plug adapter. Incredibly versatile, you can proudly showcase this piece standing upright or utilize the pre-drilled holes thoughtfully incorporated into the back for easy hanging.



Delving into the rich history of Rothmans, this sign pays homage to its origins, tracing back to 1890 when Louis Rothman established a modest kiosk on Fleet Street in London. The brand's evolution continued, culminating in the opening of a remarkable showroom in Pall Mall in 1900. Here, the very same brand of cigarettes that would eventually define an era was brought to life, a testament to the ingenuity and success of this economic venture.



Fast forward to 1982, a pivotal moment when Rothmans made a bold wager on the World Endurance Championship, forging a partnership with Porsche for the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans race. The harmonious fusion of Rothmans' distinct colors with the awe-inspiring Porsche 956 proved to be a match made in racing heaven. A marketing triumph unfolded as the collaboration clinched an extraordinary 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finish, etching their names in the annals of motorsport history.



Don't miss the chance to secure a remarkable artifact that encapsulates the thrilling spirit of Rothmans Racing and its triumphant association with Porsche. The buyer is responsible for shipping, handling, and fees.
