Iconic motorsport liveries - your favourites?

JPS Lotus

Or Eaton Yale MK2 Escorts, maybe Roger Clarks Red Cossack Hairspray

Alitalia Lancia Stratos, Toyota Castrol and State Express 555 Subaru ….never knew who State Express 555 were.

And

British Racing Green

Volvo 850 Estate Securicor, but to look under the bonnet and see how low that engine sat and an estate leading many races
Can't believe Seat were allowed a diesel and those boring 4x4 Audis

First car that came to mind, JPS lotus.
And then the rush of all of the above, all great.
2 wheels, Rossi Austin Powers Honda.

Always loved Kenny Robert's Yammy.

Barry Sheene's Suzuki too of course

Benetton B188

Jordan 191 or anything Martini-sponsored - Porsche 917, 935/78 or 936, Brabham BT44 or 45, Lancia Delta S4 or LC2.

Rothmans also had a nice livery, particularly the Opel Manta 400 and the Porsche 959 (?)

Many of the Godier-Genoud Kawasakis

All of the above, plus anything from Juha Kankkunen's collection, and I'm a bit partial to this:

Mike Hailwood Ducati (and all the replicas)

Although I was always more a fan of the 500s

Nothing from Rich Energy ??

McLaren Marlboro F1 cars

I do like the classic Williams blue/white/yellow and the united colours of benetton, and I would have said the skoal bandit Suzuki, but I have just looked back at a few pictures and it is actually a bit crap.

Some crackers here, keep 'em coming. Pink pig 917 comes to mind...

Repsol Honda Fireblade
Superb livery for a sports bike.

Could get carried away here, so will just post a couple(ish)

The canon Williams or JPS black and gold. Both bedroom wall posters from my youth

One from the other side of the pond...

Repsol escort rs cosworth

It just didn't look as good on the focus

McRae's Subarus are a given.

The old duckhams motors....

The inspired Sega sponsorship...

Sponsors? Eurgh…

Gulf GT40 😘

The golden era of 500cc 2 stroke mentalness had a few classics

Sorry!!!...

Jordan 7Up 191

Alitalia Lancia

Nah, the Lancia looked nicer in Martini colours

Alitalia Stratos is the iconic one though! 🙂

Anything martini is good

God only knows who drinks all this martini for them to afford this level of sponsorship 😂

Martini, you say?

There really isn't anything that can top this

Yeah - I've never met anyone who said "I'll have a Martini please". 🙂

No you won't because no one has any even at the back of the cupboard!

There really isn’t anything that can top this

True dat

Oh we’re doing Martini are we. . .

@binners I wasn't sure whether to post the GT40 or the 917. They are both things of utter beauty.

They really are works of art, aren’t they?

Then there's the Lola T70

Good shout on the HB Quattro too.

70s Harley XR750 flat track bike

Another xr750

And an Indian ftr750

Despite being a militant non-smoker, I like this.

When you see one IRL, the "red" is actually dayglo orange.

Skoal Bandit Gixer Suzuki, fot also being Co-sponsored by a bongo mag 😂

head of an IT org and I still can't link pictures properly, sigh

@ oldtennisshoes - I drew a picture of that one 😃

I’ll try again

I tried to post a picture of a Rothmans Opel Manta 400 but failed miserably. I forgot about the Escorts, though I think the Manta suited the colours better....

Most of my faves have been picked but afew more that I've always loved.

there are so many and not a bad suggestion in the thread.

i always loved the green and white of Saudis-Leyland-Williams.

perhaps not iconic, but the shade of blue on the ecurie ecosse d-types is lovely. they won le mans, too.

@mashr you forgot this one:

Peugeot Red Bull Dakar car
Totally badass!

Am I allowed Herbie? 😊

God only knows who drinks all this martini

Mrs Fazzini 😁 (wanders off to check the sideboard to disprove @the-muffin-man's statement... 😉)
