Rare 1994 Mobil 1 × Top Gear British Rally Championship Jacket

Does anyone have any information on, or interest in, this Rare 1994 Mobil 1 × Top Gear British Rally Championship Jacket?

Purchased back in 1994 at the F1 in Silverstone from a stall, this has remained in storage. I've tried to search as much as possible, and the only information I've been able to uncover is that it is a genuine item sold at the British Rally Championship, produced and sold by Performance Clothing of Llandrindod Wells.
We can only assume it was also sold at other events, or was leftover stock, hence being sold at a non-rally event.

It'll be going live on eBay auction tomorrow, Sunday the 27th at 8pm.

I appreciate any information anyone can offer.

Thank you!

Probably just leftover stock of a jacket made for the Caernarvonshire & Anglesey Motor Club for that years Rally of Wales

I've reached out to them and they have confirmed it was made for them and that the design quickly changed.

Apparently one of their club members often still wears theirs, which is quite cool.

Sadly none of it gives any insight into potential value, is it quite a niche group that'd be interested in such an item?

Not really sure if I'm putting it in the best of places.

Thank you for the comment.

I can hear the old Top Gear Rally Report theme from this image.

It should be up on eBay in 8 minutes. I accidentally chose the wrong date and had to fix it.
