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.

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 *** free version is the standard Minichamps 98 car.

Indeed Rallying was also well propped up by the gaspers marketing funds.
