A long-standing partnership with Lanzante
Lanzante are the McLaren specialists in Petersfield, the team who first put the McLaren F1 on the road, and one of our longest-standing clients. Over the years we've become the people they call for anything that needs designing, printing, wrapping or signwriting: millimetre-accurate competition liveries, the graphics in their showroom windows, signage for the events they attend, and the everyday work in between. When the cars are this rare and the brand this precise, "close enough" doesn't cut it, and discretion is part of the service.
Period-correct competition liveries
The work that started it was recreating a period-correct McLaren F1 GTR livery, the red-and-black "Lark" 432 car, from a handful of archive photographs and an original sponsor sheet. Historic liveries live or die on accuracy, so we matched the original colours, rebuilt every sponsor decal to the correct proportions, and plotted placement from period imagery, cross-checked against the bodywork itself.
- Colours matched to the original livery
- Sponsor decals rebuilt and plotted to scale
- Placement worked from archive photos and the car itself
- Designed and fitted in-house
It wasn't the only one. We've since handled the Gulf-liveried P1 GTR, a pinstriped Speedtail, a Porsche 935 in a bespoke abstract design, and historic machines like the Ford GT40, each finished to the standard these cars demand.
Seasonal showroom window graphics
The McLaren Petersfield showroom changes with the calendar, and we produce and fit the window graphics each time: a full-glass Halloween takeover ("No one leaves", in a dripping-red effect around a black P1) and a festive "Santa's Carwash" Christmas scheme in soap-bubble artwork. Large-format, printed in-house, and installed to sit cleanly on the glass.
Signage for the Goodwood Festival of Speed
When Lanzante take a stand to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the pavilion signage goes with them: fascia branding and wayfinding produced to match the brand and built to look right under the scrutiny of an event crowd.
Trusted with the rare stuff
Liveries, wraps, showroom windows, signwriting and event signage, all from one supplier, handled with the care (and the discretion) the cars deserve. That's the relationship.
