Gulf Oil orange stripes….

Finally got around to painting the Gulf orange stripes. It’s actually quite a big job especially with the nose fitted as there is a lot of taping up to do. My $100 professional spray booth did the job!

Turned out well and after letting it dry for a few days I added the dark blue pinstripe to the edges.

It’s certainly getting towards the pointy end of the build so hoping to have it completed by the end of April.

#1075

#1075

My demo car will be finished in the famous #1075 1969 Gulf Livery as a tribute to arguably the most famous racing car of all time.

At an estimated current value of $25 – $35,000,000 USD, you can see that when compared to #1075 the CAV GT40 OZ Edition is an absolute bargain!

I was fortunate enough to see the famous #1075 in person at the 2019 Goodwood Festival of Speed (see photos below). The weird thing was I thought that it was a replica and I only found out it’s real identity later in the day when reading through the information guide!
