SUMMARY
This is a genuine Porsche 986 engine lid, prepared and wrapped in the iconic Gulf livery from those 1970s Le Mans legends. With LED backlighting, this wall-art is ideal for smaller spaces, offices and garage walls as well as a commercial environment.
DESCRIPTION
Porsche and Gulf enjoyed victories at the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1970 with a fantastic 1-2 finish in the 917 cars of the John Wyer Automotive Team car #1&2. The now iconic Orange and Powder Blue of the Gulf Automotive team came from a business acquisition in the 1970s. The Orange and Dark blue of the Gulf company was deemed too dull for its racing livery, but the Powder Blue and Tangerine of the Wilshire Oil Company has now become one of the most widely recognisable motorsport liveries.
