Gorgeous car. I'm still trying to figure out what this has to do with this thread

Last Le Mans, friday evening (so the mind was a little fuzzy) I made a bet that I will turn up at Le Mans with a Bentley or Rolls in Gulf Livery. My preference goes out to a Turbo R, end 80's. Luckily the time to fulfill this one is 10 years, this gives me a little time to save up some pennies. Expect a Baby Blue/Orange Bentley before the end of the decennium turning up at the Houx! But it doesn't look good on anything, btw:

Gulf colours look mint on nearly all things. exhibit A: A few years back we converted my mates Transit from this  to this  as it was a le mans trip vehicle. alot of fun was had by us giving it a B&Q standard make over. It also got a lot of attention whilst driving through and around france.

I've come to the conclusion that all vans look better in race livery, simply because it makes them look like race-support vehicles. I can picture that Transit carrying tools and spare parts for a Group C car.

I nearly bought a pair of these a couple of months back:  Til I realised I'd have nothing to wear them with, and I'd look like a fud.

Big fan of the Gulf livery and intend to use on my next race car. Any experience dealing with Gulf to get their approval for motorsport use ? I've emailed their UK contact but have not heard back yet...

Saw this on the way to the Goodwood Festival of Speed a few years ago: Couldn't decide whether it worked or not really...,

I think it's become really naff covering everything in Gulf colours. But Gulf haven't helped themselves by sponsoring indiscriminately in recent years. I await being told I'm some form of racing heretic.

Well, I'm not 100% about this, but think the wheels might be putting me off more than the livery...
