The 191 – originally called 911 – was the first car Jordan Grand Prix developed in 1991, a Cosworth-powered F1 from the rookie team lead by Eddie Jordan – the only Irish F1 programme ever. Eddie was not a conventional man and didn’t go about getting things done in a conventional way. But, thanks to his unorthodox salesmanship he was able to enroll sponsors like 7UP and Fujifilm right from the start.
Of course naming anything car-related “911” will bring an army of Porsche lawyers to your doorstep – legend has it that Eddie only agreed to change the name to 191 after getting a free 911 Carrera out of the deal.
The 191 revelead itself an impressive piece of kit and was quite successful, especially for a first-year low-budget team, snatching several P4’s and P5’s from the big players during the season.
This was also the car in which Michael Schumacher made his stunning Spa debut – and was after that swiftly grabbed by Benetton – due to the untimely retirement of Jordan pilot Bernard Gachot. And by retirement we mean he served actual jail time that forced him to miss several Grand Prix’s for a “disagreement” with a London cab driver – most likely the result of a heated discussion regarding advanced cutting off techniques.
“Alain Prost gave us the best compliment of all that year. One day he said the one car that was impressive to follow through a corner was the Jordan. The car was just glued to the track.”
– Mark Gallagher, Jordan’s Marketing Director

Esprit. Lotus Esprit.
The Lotus Esprit S1 was the first version of the mythical british model, a car that became known for its avant garde shape and great handling mostly due to Lotus’ relentless weight reduction obsession.
But it was when it plunged into the Mediterranean and transformed in to an impossibly cool submarine in one of the most surprising car chases in any 007 movie, a move that made Bond and car fans around the world gasp. As well as being an amphibian it could shoot torpedoes, drop sea mines and launch surface to air missiles. If only modern SUV’s could keep up with 1970’s technology…

Remember that time Volvo went crazy and raced an estate?
We do too!
In the early 90’s someone at Volvo thought it would be swell if they were no longer safe and boring and were now sporty and cool. Fast forward to 1994 and the 850 estate starts competing in the British Touring Car Championship. The first estate to compete in touring car championships was never overly successful on the track. And you’d probably be surprised to remember that it only lasted a season and was replaced the next year by the sedan due to regulation changes – it’s never easy for those who dare to be different…
Nevertheless, its uniqueness and charisma made it arguably the most iconic BTCC car ever – just seeing one (often on two wheels) on the track takes us back.. The fact that even today it’s still often mentioned and makes special appearances in recent Goodwood’s, is proof enough of the impact its one season in the BTCC had in motorsport fans.
That and the fact they raced it with giant stuffed dogs on the back just to annoy the competition.That’s the stuff legends are made of. 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide, 3% Elastane.

The Williams FW16 competed in the 1994 Formula One season and was raced by British driver Damon Hill to finish runner-up in the 1994 World Drivers Championship. Unfortunately it was also the car in which Ayrton Senna was killed during the third race of the 1994 season. This is our tribute to the greatest F1 driver of all time.The inspiration for the sock design comes from the Rothmans cigarettes sponsorship livery.

With ten official versions set apart by roman numerals, each new one poised to rule over all that came before it, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is one of the great Japanese dynasties.
Despite it’s humble origins as a family sedan, with the help of Mitsubishi’s performance division Ralliart, that transformed it into a car-shaped toy, it won 4 consecutive WRC titles at the hands of Tommi Mäkinen, from 1996 to 1999.
All hail the Emperor of the Rising Sun!

“If God was a machine, it would definitely be an F40” – Enzo Ferrari *
The best Ferrari’s were always built with a particular purpose. The F40 was designed for speed and performance, a car specifically engineered to beat the Porsche 959. This meant that it that it would need to become the first production car to reach the mythical 200 mph mark – not to mention the, at the time unheard of, 0-62 mph time of 4.1s. To achieve its purpose, a 2.9L twin-turbo V8 putting out close to 500 hp was mounted in the back and extensive use of carbon, kevlar and magnesium made it race car light. It also probably didn’t hurt that the expression “true Ferrari” was commonly thrown around by the team that developed the F40.
It was also, from the very beginning, the last Ferrari to have Enzo’s touch. Both him and the team knew at the time that this would be the last Ferrari that “Il Commendatore” would ever personally sign off on.
No wonder then, that it turned out to be a “true Ferrari”.
Some say you can’t call yourself a true petrolhead if you’ve never owned an Alfa Romeo.
We wouldn’t go so far as saying that – though we certainly do understand the appeal – but we can all agree that it’s hard to think of a car maker that’s more intimately associated with motorsport than Alfa Romeo, a brand that practically established the sport that later became Formula 1 – and was also the starting place in the business for a young Enzo Ferrari.
Anyone who’s ever heard the noise of one of these old Alfa tuned engines, or one of the modern V6’s, has reason enough to never buy an electric car – we are firm believers of protecting ALL endangered species.
The Giulia GTA (“A” for Aleggerita) was a lightweight version of the Giulia GT production car from the 60’s and its track version quickly became a bit of a racing legend in touring car championships the world over.
The inspiration for the sock design is the triangular front grill with the round headlights with and added Quadrifoglio green to complement its Italian heritage.

It gave us the first BMW M3. It is by far the best looking 80’s sedan, it has the coolest stance and the coolest DTM paint job that made our life very very easy… Can you tell it’s one of our favorites?

Once upon a time, there was Lancia, one of Italy’s greatest car manufacturers. Back then, before the Scooby’s and the Evo’s, lived the hero of our story, the Lancia Delta. And, like a character from a fantasy world, it suddenly went from quiet utilitarian to a Rally God. When it entered the WRC battlefield in its Martini war paint, it was so damn good that it made everything else look prehistoric in comparison, carelessly destroying competitors and leaving nothing but tread marks behind.
It won the WRC manufacturer’s title in its debut year in 87 and then went on to win 6 (six!) years in a row and becoming, to this day, the most successful rally car of all times. And, more than a quarter of a century after its introduction, the Integrale is still loved and respected, perhaps now even more than ever. Please come back, Lancia. We’ve missed you!

A rear-engine 4-wheel-drive mini rocket that was purposefully built to compete in the infamous Group B rally – with the likes of the Audi Quattro Sport, Peugeot 205 T16, Lancia Delta S4 and Ford RS200 – while still keeping some visual resemblance with its biological father, the MG Metro. 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide, 3% Elastane.

A road legal V8 engined race car which stood a mere 40 inches from the tarmac… need we say more? The inspiration for the desgin were Gulf Oil colors, which in combination with the sweeping lines of the Ford GT40 made it arguably the most iconic race car of all time.
