[euw938v]

Hi Folks

Just started reading David Sutton auto biography. Love the Rothmans team ware from this era,just wondering if they were for sale to the general public ?

Any one have any images of the team ware from back then in particular the team Jacket and T Shirt ?

simply, nope - ain't seen anything like it since the mid-late 80's when you could only get a replica Rothmans jacket

i certainly recall being out on events in 1980/1981 and there being at least a couple of Rothmans vans / trailers being at service / spectator areas and selling merchandise (and giving away free cigarettes!!)

Certainly Dixies corner on epynt was a regular, especially on the Welsh, Halewood, Russek manuals etc

The jackets available were exact copies (Replica's ??) of the works teamwear and were hugely expensive for what they were.

stickers, sunvisors were freely available to whoever wanted them F.O.C.
