The success achieved by the Gulf-JW Automotive team in the late 1960s, created a lasting impression on a young German enthusiast by the name of Roald Goethe. Decades later, with the help of Adrian Hamilton, Goethe set about fulfilling his childhood dream to create a collection of racers that had been sponsored by one of the most famous names in motorsport sponsorship – Gulf Oils. From sports-cars and single-seaters to 21st century GT contenders, the resulting ROFGO Collection is an unrivalled and truly evocative set of more than 30 cars.

Key content

This book offers an exclusive look at what is one of the world’s greatest collections of competition cars:

  • Every car in the collection, from Mirage M1 to Aston Martin GTE, is covered in detail by one of the world’s leading motorsport historians.
  • The full history of iconic cars such as the Ford GT40, Porsche 917 and McLaren M23 – plus lesser-known curiosities like the Mirage M5 Formula Ford car.
  • Quotes from drivers, engineers and team managers who were involved with each car.
  • By no means a static collection – the book also explains how the cars are looked after and campaigned in the world’s best historic motorsport events.
  • The full specification and period race history for each car is included in the detailed appendices.
  • More than 300 photographs, including a specially commissioned photoshoot of each car and superb archive images.
  • Limited Edition

    Signed by racer Derek Bell and author Doug Nye, and bound in blue and orange leather to match the iconic Gulf colours, the ROFGO Collector's Edition are limited to just 30 copies. Handmade by Ludlow Bookbinders, these numbered books are stunning and a joy to own.
