Subject to me handing over some wonga, I have secured first dibs on scurvy's old clubby..

What I would like to do is a full resto in the JPS 1275GT livery, so I'm after any information, pictures, details.... anything... even a scalectrix or model would be an excellent starting point.

All I remeber is they were Black, with Gold GT stripes, and Possibly had a Big JPS emblem on the bonnet...

Cheers,
John .

right,


I have been doing some internet based research (not porn before anyone says it)

I can only find images of the Lotus race cars and the JPS esprit, but this really got me thinking........

This is the bit where GW will hate me! lol

What about doing a JPS replica clubby, with a Lotus Twin cam engine in it? Now that WOULD be a nice motor!

borrow the adaptor kit off Scurvy, bob's your uncle, f@nny's your aunt!!!

Of course this may just all be my imagination, but I sure there was a JPS sponsored Mini..

Even if there wasn't there will be soon :w00t:

I will base it on the Lotus Spsonsorship livery
