DESCRIPTION
In the late 1960s - 1970s, Lotus Cars mounted a quality improvement campaign at its Hethel factory. This is purported to be one of the large signs that hung from the factory roof at this time, stating 'LOTUS QUALITY IS YOUR JOB'.
There is a grainy Lotus publicity photograph of the factory floor c.1970s, where an identical sign can be seen in the top right hand corner to be included with the sign. The vendor purchased the sign from a Lotus employee about 30 years ago, who informed them that it hung in the factory from 1967 to 1993.
The sign measures 45.7cm x 182.9cm. The backing substrate 1.6mm thick aluminium sheet. The text is vinyl printed label to both sides. There are two 5.6mm diameter hanging holes. The sign is in remarkably good condition, having always been stored indoors, with just a couple of minor scratches to the vinyl, mostly on one side.
