Novelty 110 Film Camera in Castrol Oil Can Design
Condition: This is meant as a novelty and collectors item.
Because we do not usually deal with 110 film and 110 cameras this camera is sold in a clean yet un-guaranteed condition. The cameras are tested and they appeared to work but we can’t guarantee the results. These cameras do not come with our 6 months warranty.
Description:
A must-have for motorsport and photography enthusiasts alike. This novelty 110 film camera is designed to look like a miniature Castrol oil can, finished in the brand's iconic black with the distinctive green, orange, and white stripe design and Castrol logo on the body. Castrol produced promotional items like this throughout the 1980s and 1990s, often distributed at motorsport events and through dealerships, and cameras in this style have become genuinely collectible among both motoring and photography fans. It comes with its original red wrist strap and takes standard 110 film cartridges, still available through specialist suppliers such as Lomography, so it remains a working camera as well as a display piece. A striking and characterful collector's item that carries the heritage of one of the most recognisable names in motorsport.
Specs:
- Format: 110 film
- Focus: Fixed focus
- Modes: Fully automatic, fixed shutter
- Main advantage: Rare Castrol branded promotional novelty camera, a collector's piece that still shoots real 110 film
Battery: No battery required
