Period stickers

[innesw]

Hi,

Looking for suggestions of period 70's stickers to put in my car windows. Motorsport based preferably.
I already have a couple Castrol and STP stickers that my dad had spare kicking about his garage.

Being born in 1990 doesn't help...

Salut Innes

I bought a nice-looking and discrete Girling Power Stop glass sticker from these people:

They have a good range and are quick and courteous. Search 'Lotus', 'glass', 'triplex', 'girling', 'castrol', 'britax', 'kangol', etc.

Hey Innes, I celebrated my rebuild with one of these. I think I bought the stickers from the same place as Vernon.

Bullet holes were popular & looked pretty real when properly positioned.
They set off the Tiger's tail on the fuel filler nicely.

(Yes, of course I did!)

Haha super thanks guys!

I quite like this sticker, either for the passenger window or crash pad!

What about the Gulf horseshoes? Look at any period Ford GT40!

There is only one 70's motor racing sticker!

I forgot about isaydingdong.co.uk. I bought a pair of lotus sill protectors from them. Came quickly and well packed - though they won't offer protection for long being made of vinyl.

Ok so I'll explain

70's: You didn't have to wear a seat belt. If you hurt yourself it was your own damn fault.
Now: You do have to wear a seatbelt. If you hurt yourself it is someone else's fault.

70's: Advertising fags (cigarettes) was ok - everyone knew smoking was bad for them....
Now: Advertising fags is banned and if it makes you ill it is someone else's fault

70's: James could shag anything that moved and wear the badge
Now: he would be arrested, sued, and in the papers for it

70's: The BBC did not show F1 because Durex sponsored one of the cars
Now: The BBC would run a documentary promoting the safe sex message

So to truly get the nostalgia of '70's motorsport you will need to be politically incorrect.
