Seeing as Gulf Oil colours seem to have fallen out of favour with some RR'ers, it got me thinking about other famous retro racing liveries, and how these could be applied to a well modded retro car... ...I still think Gulf Oil colours rock, so here's a pic ^ Marlboro ^ Martini Any others?

Problem with Gulf is when somepone picks a random pale blue and a random shade of orange and slaps them together with no actual thought as to how the stripes and lines should work with the shape of the car.
Rothmans Escorts were a very popular scheme to copy back in the 70s. Some of the DTV cars had funky stripe work along with the silver livery. JPS, doesn''t have to be a Capri...

A bloke over the road when I was small worked for rothmans as a salesman, his Cavalier MkI (I think) was all liveried up.

Is that Allegro official or is that one someone has done themselves?

JPS colours are for winners, and that allegro is just superb!!! The Esprit looks pretty fetching also. Not a fan of British Raging Queen, it was done to death at some point in the mid 90's and I havent quite got over that yet
