This is a completely original ticket/pay booth for coxs super dodgems. The booth was designed flat packed so that it could be transported around the country to the various fairs. The front of the booth has a simple panel that is removed when the booth is trading, and a lovely orange shelf inside for practicality. The rear features two orange acrylic light panels. The exceptional original artwork is by the well known artist/sign writer pete tei.
