Another one for you.



No idea if this is genuine period livery for this Fiat.

Doubt it - in period you only ever saw Gulf livery on such as GT40s , Mirages , 908s and 917s etc- that's all I saw anyway . But like the rest of the Steve McQueen industry Gulf colours have now been beatified and iconified and can be seen on all sorts of tat . (Not that the little Fiat is tat but it would look so much nicer in White - as in period)

More Gulf goodness.

It's not small,its just far away.

Reminds me of one of my Forza Motorsport creations, the Aston Martin DBR-C

Looks good on the right car I think, a metallic green car with silver versions... no.

This is the best thing I've seen on the internet in a while!!

The way I see it they're only stickers and can be removed at any time with no harm so why not!?



Of course taking yourself entirely too seriously and making out like the car is something its not is silly in the extreme.

Lovely car and superb picture . It evokes memories of the spine tingling sound of the Stratos howling from afar in the depths of Dalby Forest on the RAC .

Nice thread ressurection!

I spotted this a couple of weeks back. Not even the right vehicle type

Though I quite like it

Haven't seen many with this paint job!

I think you would have to be a bit of a knob to want to get into one of those.

Totally off topic, but my dad owned Mike Spence’s old Emeryson Formula Junior (old English white and British racing green to get back vaguely on topic). Also my uncle owned one of Graham Hill’s old BRM P261. Guess who had the higher income :smile:
