I've been tiding up a manual I have - it's a pretty poor photo copy.
Maker long since gone. At the bottom of the front page (next to the list of directors, etc) is a logo of what looks to be a heraldic lion holding on to a flag pole with a banner at the top. Totally unreadable. Dates from the early 1980s. Looks similar to the lion that was stamped on eggs. Anyone remember what it signified? It's not the company logo. Possibly some trade or export award? -- *A dog's not just for Christmas, it's alright on a Friday night too* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

And in mine, the lion is standing upright on its hind legs holding on to the flagpole - rather like a human might do. The banner is also a simple rectangle designed for easy text (I'd say) rather than meant to look like a real one.

These are pro speakers and unlikely to have had a retailer. Supplied to the end user direct. Did you reduce the size down to about the postage stamp size it is on the document?

It looks to me to have two banners, one on top of the other, with the top one not attached to the pole. Of course it may not be a lion at all. The long tail might make it a monkey. ;-) Most of the manual is readable OK. As are the schematics. All simply back on white. But a couple of pics in it just about as bad as this logo, so perhaps down to photo copiers of that time. It's not that important.

I've only put them up so I can get rid of some of my old slides and in case the current ownwers might get a chance to see the condition of these cars in the mid 70s. I had 5 minutes to kill while waitiing for a phone call so put the the numbers in the GOV MOTcheck site,though of course both are now exempt due to age. That gives the make but not the model. Both appear to be taxed at the moment. For greater details such as make you would probably need to lie as to having a valid reason or pretend you wanted an insurance quote and could not be bothered to do that. An anomaly with the Austin is that there is a discrepancy of two years of first registration when checking just MOT Status and or using the MOT history check. the latter also carries a warning that the owner is dire risk of a fine as the MOT has expired so it does not seem to recognise the exemption for older vehicles that came in a while back.
