INTRODUCTION We hope you enjoy reading through our latest catalogue. We aim to provide restorers and historic vehicle enthusiasts with transfers and graphics to the highest attainable standard. Our background is mainly motor cycle orientated but over the years we have found that many motor cycle transfers were used on bicycles, and vice versa. If you are unable to find what you need always ask - we may be about to have the item printed. The majority of our stocks are the popular waterslide transfers but we also supply vinyl graphics where originally they were in that format. Low volume sellers are also supplied as vinyl graphics where a waterslide print run would be totally uneconomic. We use only best quality cast 10 year vinyl with a 'thinness' of 50 microns (2 thou inch). We are also able to offer white registration letters and numbers in four sizes, 1¾ inch and 2½ inch deep for motor cycles and 3 inch and 3½ inch for three wheelers and motor cars. See last page for further details. By far the majority of our artwork is produced by hand-drawing (as were the originals) and we resist the temptation to produce transfers using standard computer fonts, thus keeping the period look of the originals. We have tried to be as accurate as we can with the relevant location and year information in our listings, but your detailed knowledge of a particular model may well be greater than ours. LEGEND 4 Figure ref. nos. only - Waterslide Type 4 Figure ref. nos. suffixed by LC - Vinyl Graphics Best quality, 2 thou material V - Varnish Fix R.L.H. - Right and Left Hand Pair The appropriate application and overcoating instructions are always supplied with the transfers and we would point out that all orders are sent out in polythene bags within a board backed envelope, ensuring that it should reach you in perfect condition at all times. We use only first class mail and air mail where appropriate.

We gladly accept returns for exchange on the strict understanding that the transfers are not damaged in any way, i.e. creased, torn or soiled with oily fingermarks and the like.

Page 1 One last point, we are always interested in acquiring original transfers, labels or stickers for verification purposes. We reserve the right to amend the artwork of our catalogued items to more exacting original specification as such information becomes available. Price Ref.

  • The Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited (BSA) Was A

    The Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited (BSA) Was A

    Norton Villiers Triumph Norton Villiers/BSA factory in Small Heath in its heyday _____________________________________________________________________ Norton Villiers Triumph was a British motorcycle manufacturer, formed by the British Government to continue the UK motorcycling industry, but the company eventually failed. Triumph had been owned by the BSA Group since 1951, but by 1972 the merged BSA-Triumph group was in serious financial trouble. British Government policy at the time was to save strategic industries with tax payers' money, and as BSA-Triumph had won the Queen's Awards for Exports a few years earlier, the industry was deemed 'strategic' enough for financial support. The Conservative Government under Ted Heath concluded to bail out the company, provided that to compete with the Japanese it merged with financially troubled Norton Villiers (the remains of Associated Motor Cycles, which had gone bust in 1966), a subsidiary of British engineering conglomerate Manganese Bronze. The merged company was created in 1973, with Manganese Bronze exchanging the motorcycle parts of Norton Villiers in exchange for the non-motorcycling bits of the BSA Group—mainly Carbodies, the builder of the Austin FX4 London taxi: the classic "black cab." As BSA was both a failed company and a solely British-known brand (the company's products had always been most successfully marketed in North America under the Triumph brand), the new conglomerate was called Norton Villiers Triumph—being effectively the consolidation of the entire once-dominant British motorcycle industry. NVT inherited four motorcycle factories—Small Heath (ex-BSA); Andover and Wolverhampton (Norton); and Meriden (Triumph). Meriden was the most modern of the four.
