Let's not be PC - any more booze or fags sponsored cars?

I can offer a few to this thread (neat idea for a thread by the way). The last is a repeat of yours, but what the heck, it's all I had!

Great cars! Martini is one of my favorite liveries.

69Stang: Is this Silk Cut Jaguar a 1/43 plastic kit from Heller?
I had one of these and it looks similar.

No it is a poorly rendered diecast by Onyx. I think I only paid $5 for it which is about right. I will replace it one day, but for now it fills a hole in the collection.

I have a picture I took at the 6 Hours of Endurance at Watkins Glen in 1976 of a BMW 3.5 CSL sponsored by Gosser Beer and NORML, the group that wanted the legalization of marijuana. There were pot leaves painted on parts of the car.

i like those road racing cars!

Great pics. I love the Alfas.

A job well done, an excellent reason to buy Guinness in cans rather than bottles.

Love that Guiness "tin can"! Suddenly I'm thirsty...

More additions - all are by Bandai from their 1:43rd scale Exact Collection. Figure came from a Hongwell set.

One of the favourite playgrounds of the cigarette companies was F1 until the euro restrictions in particular made it all too much hassle. So herewith

The first team to introduce sponsorship as we know it today was of course Lotus who in 1968 rebranded themselves Gold Leaf Team Lotus

f-r Quartzo Type 49, SRC type 56, Quartzo Type 72 (Rindt Championship version)

Following on from GL Lotus formed one of the iconic marketing partnerships JPS Lotus

Quartzo Type 78 Gunnar Nilsson, Quartzo Emmo's title winning Type 72, SRC Type 79 Andretti title winner

The most iconic and I believe longest lasting sposorship in F1 was that of McLaren by Marlboro. Lasting from 1974 -1996

l f-r Minichamps Lauda 84, Onyx Senna 88, Onyx Senna 90
r f-r Minichamps Prost 85, Tameo Prost 89, Tameo Senna 91

Having parted ways with Marlboro McLaren Teamed up with The West brand of ciggies from 1997 - 2005. This garnered two Drivers championships for Mikka Hakkinen in 98-99.

The Branded car is a Team Edition 99 car while the fag free version is the standard Minichamps 98 car.

Winfield are a major brand on the Aussie (and NZ) market who as well as sponsoring the Gibson Motorsport Touring car team also sponsored rallying vehicles in Australia. One of the ir major ones was a one off deal with Misubishi for the 1998 Rally Australia
