Title: Stripes, all sorts, not just JPS, let's see them!
Post by: Richard48Y on Tuesday,April 05, 2022, 08:43:37 PM
On another forum a discussion of "Iconic" paint schemes came up.
An odd livery car I had never heard of was being touted as "very Iconic".
Got me to thinking, my S2 may be a bit plain without some contrast.
I know we have a lot of cars with the JPS style stripes but I also recall seeing some other variations.
Please post up a few.

Simple stripe on some Canadian delivered S2s:

I seem to recall another variation of that.
A bit wider with LOTUS in larger lettering, might have been LOTUS World Champions?

The same stripe on an Ohio delivered car.

Done in reflective paint that stripe could be useful for our tiny cars.
I'm hoping for more examples including custom.

Just a single gold stripe (OK two, there is one on the other side as well!)
 It was like this when I bought it.
