Retro Gulf MINI pics from GoMini magazine?

Did anyone see the last issue of GoMini magazine with the 2 LeMans inspired MINI's? I found the "Martini" MINI online, but I can't find anything on the "Gulf" MINI with the off-centered orange, white, blue stripe going down the driverside of the Pepper White MINI. It is really a cool looking MINI and I'm hoping to do something similar to my MINI if/when I finally get one!

I'd like to find some pictures of this on-line so if anyone know's the owner or where some pictures might be located, please let me know.

Does anyone else think it's a sweet looking MINI??!!

I also remember seeing some photos of an Electric Blue MINI, with an Orange stripe and a white number "meatball" on the bonnet. Looks like it was inspired by the Gulf sponsered porsche 917's and GT-40's. I think think the car was in the UK.
