No badges, no wordmarks, no logos on the car itself: just the machine, drawn in the language of the workshop floor. If you have ever had the bonnet up on a cold morning with your knuckles bleeding and the radio on, this line was made for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRight car. Wrong materials. Entirely on purpose.\u003c\/strong\u003e The silhouette, the stance and the year are true to the car. Everything filling them in is workshop steel that has no business being there. A socket where the grille sits. Spanners laid across a roof. A calliper behind a wheel it was never bolted to. Go looking for a part in the wrong place and you will find one, and that is the whole point: this is the car as the tools that kept it running would draw it, not a photograph of it. Zoom in. That is where the fun is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA 1987 Sierra RS500, forged from the tools that kept it alive, on 180gsm organic cotton.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront three-quarter, sat inside a thin concentric ring with Dean's signature across the top. Look once and it is an RS500: the three-door body, the flared arches, the big whale-tail wing with the second lip spoiler under it. Look again and the front bumper is a rack of sockets and a ratchet, the bonnet is laid with spanners over the turbocharged four, the flanks are tools on tools, and moonstone blue is picked out on the handles. The grille slot is plain black with a steel bolt above it where a badge would be. The plate reads RS500 87, white with black characters. A torque wrench lies across the bottom, engraved 1987 SIERRA RS500. Only 500 were built, to homologate the racing car, and the extra cooling slots and that second spoiler are how you tell one from a standard three-door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBuilt from the tools that built it.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDean's Classic Cars is one man's obsession, made wearable. Dean has spent his life around British cars from the era when you could still fix one on your own driveway, and every design in the collection starts from a real car, checked against the real specification, before a single tool is drawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat matters, because the people who buy these know. They know how many wiper arms a Series 1 E-Type carried. They know a Mexico ran a pushrod Kent, not a twin cam. So nothing here is decorative guesswork. Get the car right and the artwork earns its place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt a glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e t-shirt on a Stanley\/Stella Creator 2.0, 100% organic cotton, 180 g\/m² single jersey.

Sockets make the front bumper, spanners the bonnet, tools the flanks, with moonstone blue on the handles, drawn in bright metal against the dark cotton so the shape reads clean from across a room. The car carries no maker's badge anywhere on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Dean's Classic Cars","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":57451645436230,"sku":"6286770_11869","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":57451645468998,"sku":"6286770_11870","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":57451645501766,"sku":"6286770_11871","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":57451645534534,"sku":"6286770_11872","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2XL","offer_id":57451645567302,"sku":"6286770_11873","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":57451645600070,"sku":"6286770_17229","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4XL","offer_id":57451645632838,"sku":"6286770_17233","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5XL","offer_id":57451645665606,"sku":"6286770_17236","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/6583\/7382\/files\/unisex-organic-cotton-creator-2.0-t-shirt-black-front-6ab549a89c1b9.jpg?v=1790265791","url":"https:\/\/ricki-robin.store\/products\/sierra-rs500-socket-bumper-t-shirt","provider":"Ricki Robin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
