Replica merchandise proposal....

biffa75 · 18th April 2023, 10:08

Hi everyone,

Id like to propose the possibility of replica merchandise that appears to be very difficult or virtually impossible to obtain these days.

It would obviously entail investment financially from myself and my wife to do this hence this proposal.

We already print other items such as press photos and mugs and have a Facebook page that advertises what we have available and what we are able to do.
We aren't a business, more a hobby/gift shop from home.

Should there be enough interest we could replicate the original rover branded umbrellas, wing protectors, frosted glass style stickers in various sizes for different purposes up to A4 in size. (These were often seen on dealership windows).

We could also replicate the original dealer pens including the case along with other merchandise that is no longer available.

I understand prices of such things would have to be worked out but at the present time, we are wanting to know if there would be much interest if any for these types items to be made.

Thanks
Rob

I would certainly be interested in an umbrella.

Hope your idea takes off.

If anyone has any questions regarding quality ect I can vouch for Rob and say that these are very good. I have some of their products.

I’ve also supplied genuine items to get reference from. So keep up the good work.

Just a quick thought, having missed one yesterday.

Could you source a plastic box & lid to recreate the spare bulb box. With the logo then printed onto it, I would suggest that it might sell rather well.

Bulbs could be included, or not.
Foam insert,, as per bulbs.

Regards

Mike

Would definitely go for an umbrella, both Mg and Rover.

I think you will find that you have to register as a trader to advertise/sell on the forum. I might be wrong but I would have an umbrella if you make any.

There are still some items clearly in high demand.
