The Simon Hadfield Restoration is enough of a telltale
.....it is nothing officially Team Lotus
.....1997 Zolder ? must have been an historic meet or so.

Bonjour ,
Yes ZOLDER 1997 was an ISRS meeting ( International Sport Racing Series , now ELMS ) AND great historic races .
Now , 2 other photos of same transporter , shooted at Le Mans 1989 , in historic meeting on Circuit BUGATTI , perhaps in original colors ???
Note , official plates from Switzerland !!!

this Lotus Transporter has been used by Team Lotus from 1973 up until the early 80's. As mentionned earlier in this thread, it was built in late 1972 by Marshall of Cambridge and is based on a Leyland Leopard chassis. It changed livery many times from JPS to Essex and back to JPS.
The transporter nickname JAHIL comes from irs registration (JAH 1 L).
I would be grateful if someone could tell where the hell this transporter is now, considering it has been obviously maintained in a fairly good condition.
For your interest, here is a picture of its 1980 livery.

Neither of these guys have sponsors, the hard earned monies come out of their pockets.

Now you're here, perhaps you'll help me bully Marcus into signing-up!
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy it around here - your input will be very well received, I'm sure.

I think it would be a good idea to merge this thread with the transporter thread.
For those lacking funds and space, Spark have announced the 1.43 version arriving in June, JPS livery,
