Yes Roger, Just adjust to the size you want on your PC and print as normal.
Another tip is if you are looking for something specific try Pattos Place in Australia. If they haven't got it nobodywill

Another trial and error. Ferrari Breadvan
Rob, Think that's it and the size is about right. Another thought............ print it off or download pic to a stick and see an auto signwriter. They could print it off on vinyl.. Just a thought
I think they might have been bigger than that.Originally Posted by chaindrive
The earlier Shell Sport ones were 400mm x 160mm.
Here is the great Jimmy Clark at Pukekohe Jan. 1968 in his Lotus 49 displaying the Shell Racing sticker.
Note the difference.

Oh dear, got it wrong again!
Thanks Ken, that's the one. Quite different, was beginning to have my doubts. That is the one I'm after somehow....Here is the great Jimmy Clark at Pukekohe Jan. 1968 in his Lotus 49 displaying the Shell Racing sticker.

I am searching through my stuff for originals. There were different versions different years from memory.
Talking of years- what colour was car registration sticker for 1969 ?
Rob,
Perhaps if you can get a copy of this 1968 NZ Shell Motor Racing magazine there might be some suitable photos within.
Looks like at Teretonga in 1968 that the Jim Clark sticker had changed but the Amon Ferrari and McLaren BRM had the Shell sticker.

Thanks for suggestions guys. I do have those Shell year books among others showing these decals on various cars, but none are good enough to use as a reference. Your photo is the best I have seen Ken, and as luck would have it, the very car I am modelling, the 49T as raced at Puke and Levin 1968 ( I was there) before the big change to Gold Leaf colours at Wigram. Will scale it off as best I can and consult a graphics dude. Good work team!!Rob,

Hi Rob,
I guess I haven't been looking at this thread for a while! I've got an original Shell Racing sticker from around 1972, which I had copied and digitally repaired by a graphic designer friend a few years ago. I emailed it to Dale Mathers when he was looking for it (he confirmed it was the version he was after) and I'll happily forward it to you too - just PM me your email address.
The one thing I'll highlight with it though is that the red in my jpg is a little too orange, but that sort of thing can be digitally altered (apparently).
Cheers,
Alan.
A stunning front page when the cars looked different and a sounded different!
Ray- they only really looked different when Tyrells P-34 6 wheeler arrived in 1976 to win a race ...LOL
Rob,
The Hyndmans will assist you as best as we can.

I'll have a go at uploading the image (last time I tried the image was too poor quality to upload once it was small enough to be allowed).
Here's the original sticker:
And here is the tarted up version (I still can't find a way to maintain the quality of the image):
As I said earlier, the red is not the correct shade.
Cheers,
Alan.
