My Answer to the trivia question:

Before the Gulf blue and orange colors got famous, Shell arranged with Ford to use four GT40s (including 1030) for what became at the time the most expensive ad shot. So 1030 has no associations with Gulf.

Despite that I've been wanting to take that photo for years and yesterday I got the chance to do it. Saturday was the town's 5th annual Fire Department "Show n Shine" car show. I was invited by a friend to park in his enclave, which happened to be in the forecourt of a Gulf gas/petrol station.

There were close to 400 cars at the show, most were American muscle cars, but there were a bunch of Porsches, four English cars (two MGBs, a Land Rover 90, and the GT40). Best in Class for the European cars as a nice Saab Sonnet (the car I was most surprised to see at the show).
