"30" mph speed limit road sign, re-imagined in Gulf Racing colours
This is a genuine, de-commissioned “30” mph Road Sign hand-painted in Gulf Racing colours and then aged to show some of the original colours and reflective parts of the original road sign underneath.
It measures approx. 24 inches / 60cm round.
The Gulf Oil brand came to International prominence during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s when it sponsored, both financially and technically, a number of major motor racing programs, most notably the Ford GT40, Porsche 917 and Mirage cars. Gulf cars won Le Mans in 1968, 1969 and 1975.
The original Gulf corporate livery was dark blue and orange, which was considered too muted, so powder blue and orange were then chosen to reflect the vibrancy of the brand.
