Jalopnik: Obsessed With The Cult Of Cars

 

 

An unidentified collector with a fetish for classic liveries has assembled a collection of 14 famous cars that raced under the famous blue/white/orange colors, including the first Gulf-liveried car to race at Le Mans. Finally, a sheik with good taste.

 

Going by the pretentious name "ROFGO Gulf Collection by Duncan Hamilton," the amazing car series includes everything from a 1968 Ford GT40 to the 2009 Aston Martin LMP1. A dozen of the cars will be on display at the Retromobile car festival this week in Paris. Below is the full list in chronological order.
