Description
Technical Spec

In 1957 the Managing Director of Smith's Delivery Vehicles (supplier of ice cream vans to Lyons) was on a sales trip to the United States and saw the new Mister Softee mobile ice cream operation. Eventually he secured the rights to the Mister Softee ice cream brand in the United Kingdom. They then reached an agreement with Lyons and a joint venture was formed. The initial outcome was the launch of the first mobile ice cream vehicle at the 1958 Commercial Motor Show, Earls Court. Mister Softee was run as a franchise operation with the first vans operating in the South West London/Kent borders in the Spring of 1959. With an initial cost of £3,200, a Mister Softee van cost as much as six or seven conventional Lyons Maid vans. However, the cost was progressively reduced and Lyons also began to run their own in-house operation by putting them into their own depots.

Mister Softee went from strength to strength and by 1961 had already established 34 locations in England and one in Wales. With Mister Softee taking off in a big way, Lyons knew they had a winner and decided to take control of the whole business, bringing the whole Mister Softee operation under the umbrella of Glacier Foods Ltd, a Lyons subsidiary. Mister Softee by now had become a Lyons flagship brand with depots nationwide and franchised operations abroad. By 1968 Mister Softee vans were operating in 15 countries from Belgium to Australia.

By the time Tonibell joined the Glacier Foods stable of brands in December 1968, the soft ice cream revolution had peaked. Competition in the mobile sector was intense and profitability would inevitably start a slow decline fuelled by cheap supermarket products and homGulf Oil International announced a major motorsport partnership initiative in 2008, as it linked up with Aston Martin Racing to become sponsors of the factory race team’s Le Mans entry for three years.

The 2008 Aston Martin works cars, with their famous 007 and 009 numbering, first ran in Gulf’s iconic blue and orange livery at La Sarthe in June to become the latest in a long line of successful endurance race cars to carry the legendary livery.

Gulf celebrated the 40th anniversary of its first win at Le Mans in the finest possible style, with a victory in LMGT1 going to the Gulf sponsored Aston Martin Racing DBR9, number 009, driven by David Brabham, Darren Turner and Antonio Garcia.

It this wasn’t enough, the Gulf-sponsored 007 Aston Martin Racing LMP1 car wrote itself into the history books by winning the Drivers’ and Teams’ championships in the 2009 Le Mans Series, driven by Stefan Mücke, Jan Charouz and Thomas Enge.

In recognition of this incredible achievement, Scalextric have paired these two icons from modern motorsport in a beautiful Gulf Oil Aston Martin Racing Limited Edition Twinpack.
