The London Motor Museum unveils one of the worlds first Tattooed cars.

• The UK’s only Gumpert Apollo revealed as one of the world’s first tattooed cars customised by the London Supercar workshop
• London-based tattooist Aleksy Marcinow has inked the car with a totally unique Japenese-inspired design
• The car can be seen for the first time at the Gumball 3000 rally on Regent Street, London on Sunday 8^th June

The London Motor Museum will unveil its exclusive Gumpert Apollo tattoo car, inked by London-based tattoo artist Aleksy Marcinow and customised by the London Supercar workshop, at the Gumball 3000 rally on Regent Street on Sunday (8 June).

Working with renowned tattoo artist Aleksy Marcinow of Black Onyx Tattoo Studio in London, Elo and his customisation team have created one of the world’s first tattooed-designed cars. Having studied fine art and wanting to compliment the curves of one of the fastest cars on the planet, the Gumpert Apollo, Aleksy took inspiration for the car’s tattoo design from Japanese art and irezumi, an area he is currently exploring.

Elo, London Motor Museum owner and founder, commented: “The Gumpert Apollo is one of my favourite cars in the museum and it looks fantastic with its latest customisation – a car tattoo. I’m really pleased with the design and can’t wait to reveal it this Sunday on London’s Regent Street.”

Tattoo artist, Aleksy Marcinow, commented: “I was very excited to work on something completely unique and one of the world’s first. I’ve never tattooed a car before but it has many similarities to the human body, it had to be right first time and I had to work with the angles and curves in the car but at least the Gumpert Apollo didn’t move or scream. I’m really looking forward to the reveal on Sunday and getting feedback from the Gumball 3000 visitors.”

The London Motor Museum has been home to the only Gumpert Apollo in the UK since 2010 when it was purchased from the Monaco Motor Show and valued at around £370,000. The new inked Gumpert Apollo will be unveiled on Regent Street (London) on Sunday 8^th June as part of the Gumball 3000 rally.

The London Motor Museum is also bringing along an additional 10 luxury supercars ranging from the 1930s all the way through to modern day.
