Description
This unique piece of Australian motor racing history was removed from its inner trackside location near the Control Tower of the Surfers Paradise International Raceway in the early 2000s prior to the demolition of all the trackside buildings as part of up the development of the “Emerald Lakes” community that now stands on the site. Believed to have been on display during the track’s golden years of the 1980s, the sign is showing some weathering and minor rust on the reverse side and each of the four pieces measures 183cm by 85cm. a wonderful piece of Australian motor sport memorabilia with great provenance, the sign would make a fabulous display piece in any collector’s garage or showroom.
