Gulf Colours

[Bob_Defly]

What cars look great, and what look terrible in these colours?

Obviously the Ford GT40/GT look pretty good. Not sure it suits the Exige...



(Apologies if that's your car...)

Thoughts on other cars?

[Shaw Tarse]

I'm surprised this hasn't sold yet

[Riley Blue]

Gulf colours look good on everything!

[Smitters]

My wife won't let me do our front door or garage door in gulf colour. Fortunately, we're divorcing. Seems excessing, but I really would like a Gulf Racing Door. Never going to have a GT40 behind it, but hey ho!

The Kremer k8 spider- Le Mans 94 from memory- looked bloody awful as they changed the colours.

Otherwise, everything looks good in traditional Gulf colours- i'm sure that i have seen a lawnmower painted in them, and even that looked good

[Dog Star]

When I spotted the thread I was going to say the Exige is my favourite - but you quoted it. Want one!

[Choppers]

There's a mk2 (?) Cortina that I see most days on the way to work on the Leighton Buzzard road that has just been painted in these colour's - looks superb !!

There is a first gen focus near me that has the purple/green/gold flip paint you normally find on a TVR

The paint job must be worth more than the car itself



Image stolen from the TVR forum so does/did belong to somebody on here. Gorgeous car.

If that is your photo, I must have stood about 10 feet from you when it was taken- the same year that they had several others in JPS and silk cut livery? 2010 or 2009- beer blunts the memory

Edit, actually 2008 or 7, they were y last years in camping blu

IMHO there's 2 liveries that look good on anything - Gulf and the John Player Special black & gold.

I think that looks superb to be honest.

I'd love to see what a TVR T350 would look like in the gulf colours

Didn't TVR nick it off Nissan?

Gulf is overrated IMO. I mean, come on, would you wear blue with orange? Plus their petrol is always a massive rip-off.

I prefer Martini:

[TonyHetherington]

There's another Exige with Gulf colours (painted, not stickers) which a friend owned for a while, and in fact I almost bought.

That looked very good too

Did they? I have no idea other than the focus sporting these colours looks crap.

I think it's really quite sad having Gulf colours on a road car.

Keep it on the track.

All things look ace in Gulf or Martini livery. Medical fact.... Now, time to spray paint the cat.
