I love these McLaren F1 tins I found at a random antique shop in a random CO mountain town years ago.
I haven't seen them anywhere since, although you would probably be able to locate them on ebay if you really tried to...

Nice find! Do you remember the name of the CO mountain town?

Those are simply awesome!
After reading this, I went to eBay...and I actually found one .
Reminds me of those NASCAR candy tins that always popped up in Kmarts during any holiday that candy sells well around (Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day, etc.).
They came in two forms, the larger ones filled with chocolate race cars, and the much smaller ones with mints inside.

Everyone in my class had these at school. In the UK they were definitely a 'thing'.
I had a jaguar one I think, an XJ220 iirc.
Of course ours ended up all dented and smashed up from having 'races' on the desks!

I have the Gulf one! I found it at an antique store in Lancaster, PA. I got the Gulf Gasoline sign at another antique store that same day. One day I'll take a better picture of it, but here is one from my potato.
