By the mid-20th century, Dunlop had become one of the world’s leading tyre manufacturers, with factories and service centres spanning the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1398\" data-start=\"1045\"\u003eThis sign dates from the period when Dunlop’s “Tyre Service” division offered specialist fitting, balancing, and repair services — often in garages that proudly displayed the Dunlop logo as a mark of quality. The red triangular emblem with the bold “D” was introduced in the post-war years and became a visual icon for reliability and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1717\" data-start=\"1400\"\u003eThese signs were typically mounted outside service stations, dealerships, or roadside garages, where they guided motorists to trusted Dunlop stockists. Their angled, elongated design made them highly visible from a distance — a functional piece of advertising that also showcased the brand’s design sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1739\" data-start=\"1719\"\u003eCollectibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"2091\" data-start=\"1740\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1800\" data-start=\"1740\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1800\" data-start=\"1742\"\u003eOriginal Dunlop Tyre Service sign from the 1950s–60s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1863\" data-start=\"1801\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1863\" data-start=\"1803\"\u003eFeatures the classic Dunlop yellow and black colourway\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1912\" data-start=\"1864\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1912\" data-start=\"1866\"\u003eDisplays the early red “D” triangle logo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1993\" data-start=\"1913\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1993\" data-start=\"1915\"\u003eConstructed from durable tinplate, suitable for wall or display mounting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2091\" data-start=\"1994\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2091\" data-start=\"1996\"\u003eA superb addition for collectors of vintage garage, automotive, or petroliana memorabilia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"2371\" data-start=\"2093\"\u003eA timeless example of mid-century British advertising, this Dunlop Tyre Service sign not only represents one of the most trusted names in motoring but also captures the golden era of the service station — when good tyres and great craftsmanship kept Britain’s roads rolling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Automobilia Magpie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58816967835997,"sku":"AM390","price":595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/1625\/3789\/files\/WhatsAppImage2025-10-16at13.12.02_b1b702f4_65369b8a-7231-4ad1-b1d0-87dffdd8f252.jpg?v=1760954910","url":"https:\/\/www.automobiliamagpie.com\/products\/dunlop-tyre-service-enamel-sign","provider":"Automobilia Magpie","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
