Now anyone know any good signwriters? I think MK might have a run on 4pt font

Dutton did have a Sierra before Ford and gained lots of publicity during the legal proceedings when Ford tried to stop them using the name. I
don't remember the specific outcome but I am sur ethey both continued to use the name.

Andy,
It's in the dim and past now, but IIRC the judge sort of said to Tim Dutton, You call yours the Dutton Sierra, and to Henry, you call yours the
Ford Sierra.
I don't think Dutton had registered the name, which was the problem. That and, I should imagine, Ford's "we're bigger than
you" attitude.

PS If Ford or TD care to comment, I stand to be corrected!!
