Dan, I think you can go to a sign maker and have them do a reproduction. I did that for several stickers on my Rover 2000 TC. As I remember it didn't cost more than 5-6 dollars.

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately I haven't found anybody with a complete decal to see what all is included in the text yet. Dan

Based on this Shelley decal https://mhartman.net/files/sunbeam/Sunbeam Tool Kit - Rootes Review January 2011.pdf, do you think the writing may be "Made in England"? The bottom lettering certainly looks like England, hard to make out whether the top words would be "Made in" from the picture.

I haven't found a picture of intact decal. Looking at remains of several it might just have three words in the red, gold, and black oval decal, might be:

BIRMINGHAM
SHELLEY
ENGLAND

There is a Shelley 7DL model for sale on ebay® USA currently with remains of one of the oval decals shown in a picture.

Looking at the eBay jack and considering Shelley was based in Birmingham, I think it's safe to say that's what is on the top of the decal:

Contact David Townsend at sportscarart.com for help in reproducing the decal.

Thanks for the lead, I was hoping that reproductions were already a commercial product.

It will be a water slide. But take notice that the size is a guess because I do not have the original dimensions

I know someone that might have enough left to get either a height or width. In early 2018 I could have done measurements myself if I had thought I needed them.

Dan, if you could get me the correct dimensions, I will try to stop the production process
I have ordered 30 decals and 30 stickers. The number can easily be increased.
By the way I am a private Cobra 289 owner, not a professional decal producer, Michael

I will see if the jack is still intact (as in not redone for his Cobra).
