Rather than starting a new thread for my own Rofgo Collection pictures, I thought it might be appropriate to put them here. Many are the same cars Stewart has showed earlier.

Eye candy to a fan of the Gulf livery.

Love the simplicity of this display Ian. Nicely put together.

Very impressive Ian, shows them off to good effect especially with economic use of the figures. Hopefully you can take us through each of the seven groups in due course. I’m especially intrigued by the #15 in the first group. Did you get the MP4-12C yet.

Stewart, the #15 is the 1967 Le Mans Mirage...this one's from Bizarre but they've subsequently been re-released by Spark.
The first group are GT40 based cars, including the Mirage (Bizarre), the '68 & '69 Le Mans winners (Spark) and the camera car from the filming of Steve McQueen's "Le Mans" movie (Schuco).
Group Two are the '70's Porsche related cars. The top car is also a camera car from the "Le Mans" movie (Spark), the '70 & '71 Porsche 917K (Spark & Minichamps) and the 1971 Porsche 917 LH (Minichamps).
Group Three are the '73, '74 & '75 Le Mans Mirages (Bizarre & Spark).
Group Four are the '90's care - Kremer K8 (Spark), '95 & '96 McLaren GTR's (HPI) and '97 McLaren Longtail (Minichamps).
Group Five are the 2000's Prototypes - 2005 & 2006 Courage C65's, 2007 Zytek & 2011 Aston Martin AMR-One (all by Spark).
Group Six are the 2000's Aston Martin's - a 2008 DBR-9 on top and later 2011 - 2014 Vantage V8's below (all by Spark)
Finally, Group 7 are the 2000's Porsche's - a 2006 Porsche 911 GT3 on top (Minichamps) and the 2016 - 2018 Gulf Racing Porsche 911 RSR's (Spark)
Because my collection is focused on Le Mans cars, unfortunately there's no MP4-12C or some of the other non-Le Mans Gulf sponsored cars.

Thanks Ian, the camera cars are a great addition. I see where you’re at with just Le Mans models. Are those shelves proprietary items? Excellent.

Inspired by Ian’s impressive ensemble I can run through the rest of my Rofgo collection. FORD GT40 FORD 4.9L V8 JACKY ICKX & JACKIE OLIVER LE MANS 1969 1st IXO LM1969 The actual car in the 1:1 Rofgo collection is the #34 sister car as driven to 4th place in the 1968 Spa 1000km by Paul Hawkins and David Hobbs. Poetic license.

Thanks Ian, the camera cars are a great addition. I see where you’re at with just Le Mans models. Are those shelves proprietary items? Excellent. The 'shelves' are actually just GBP2.90 file holders from K-Mart, rotated 90 degrees. They also do them in black and I might get some more in this colour for future club displays:
