Nice video on JPS models-Lotus also produced JPS style Elan Plus 2 models in 72-73 to celebrate their 50th GP win. I believe they made around 100 cars total, all with gold metalflake roofs instead of silver and corduroy seat inserts. I also think all of the cars were 5 speeds which had just been introduced in production. Otherwise, they were mechanically identical to the other production cars as per the Esprit-cheers.
Interesting. I’m from an era that grew up with the JPS Special. I did not know the history of Formula 1 or that Mario Andretti was world champion. Lotus is a much loved brand in the UK and I never get tired of looking at an Esprit. The iconic Bond submersible version took everyone’s breath away.
Hello and thanks, I too am from that era and am also a fan of the original Giorgetto Giugiaro designed cars. Talking of the Bond Sub, from what I have seen, it took 8 or 9 cars to complete that underwater shoot. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and Thanks for your comment.
Hello and thank you, I’m familiar with the Lotus Sunbeam, and as far as I know, it was initially available in Black and Silver, followed by Blue and Silver, and finally as the Sunbeam Lotus Avon, featuring a Light Blue on Dark Blue combination. If you have any details about a JPS version, it would be great to see it. I also created a short about this car, that you might find interesting.

Another car that came in a JPS inspired colourway was the Lotus Sunbeam
