Detailed Item Description:

THIS VERY RARE ITEM IS AN ORIGINAL SHORT SLEEVED ROTHMANS PORSCHE COLLARED SHIRT, HOWEVER THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE IS MUCH RARER THAN MOST AS IT WAS PRODUCED FOR TEAM MEMBERS OF RICHARD LLOYD RACING FOR THE 1987 KYALAMI 500KM. FOR ONE RACE THE RLR TEAM RAN THEIR PORSCHE 962 GTi IN FACTORY ROTHMANS SPONSORS DUE TO THEM RUNNING WORKS DRIVER JOCHEN MASS IN THE RACE. THE SHIRT IS FORMER PROPERTY OF A SENIOR RLR STAFF MEMBER, HE CERTIFIED THIS AND ALSO EXPLAINED THAT MOST ROTHMANS PORSCHE SHIRTS DO NOT HAVE THE ADDED LOGO PATCHES PRESENT ON THIS EXAMPLE: 'BLAUPUNKT' & 'SHELL PUISSANTS', BOTH SEASON SPONSORS BUT WERE NOT ON THE WORKS CARS. THE CHEST BEARS A LARGE 'ROTHMANS PORSCHE' LOGO AS WELL AS THE 2 SPONSOR PATCHES MENTIONED EARLIER. THE REAR OF THE SHIRT ALSO READS "ROTHMANS PORSCHE' IN LARGE EMBROIDERED TEXT. THE ARMS SHOW A SMALLER VERSION AND ALSO A SHELL LOGO. THE CLASSIC ROTHMANS BANDING IS PRESENT AROUND THE CENTRE AND ON THE SLEEVES. THE SIZE LABEL STATES '44', WHICH WE BELIEVE TO BE A LARGE-XL, HOWEVER IF YOU REQUIRE EXTRA MEASUREMENTS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK AS VINTAGE CLOTHING OFTEN FITS SMALLER THAN TODAY'S SIZES!
