Leading signs franchise Signs Express was delighted to provide sponsorship graphics to one of the entrants of this year’s infamous Plymouth-Dakar challenge. Dubbed as the “Ultimate Banger Challenge” the event is now in its 5th year.
Teams from across the country take part with the aim of getting from Plymouth to Dakar in a vehicle worth under £100 and equipped for a mere £15. Dominic Russell-Price and Chris Blackburn set off on the 16th December for the trip of a lifetime in a 600cc 1988 Trabant. The intrepid couple were aiming to raise money for Heely City Farm and also the Seeds for Africa charity.
Signs Express (Sheffield North) completed the work which is part of the UK & Irelands largest sign company with over 80 centres nationwide. Providing a complete design to manufacture service, Signs Express supplies all forms of signage including exterior and interior signs, vehicle graphics, exhibition displays, banners and health and safety signs.
Signs Express (Sheffield) owners, Steve & Carol Morris were excited to support the event by providing graphics for the Trabant free of charge. “It’s great to be involved in such a different project. We’re specialists when it comes to vehicle graphics but this is definitely one of the more unique vehicles we’ve supplied graphics for!” Said Steve Morris. He continued “It was important to ensure that the graphics were extremely hardwearing, the Trabant was going to be driving through all manner of tough conditions and the graphics had to last.”
The team arrived at their destination on 9th January where their trusty Trabant was auctioned off to help raise money for local Gambian charities.
