I can't make out the tank badge, but there was a JPS/Norton team years ago in the Isle of Man TT. I'd guess it was early 70s or thereabouts because I packed up motorbikes around '75-ish, but I do recall Peter Williams riding with John Player as sponsor, but that was before the black livery. Did the black/gold come along with Lotus ?

Found a couple of pics for you, Peter Williams TT was white, red and blue. - Road going replicas where sold in similar colours.

Years later 1990 - 92 there was a JPS Works Norton team that did very well in pretty much everything it entered, TT included. Rotary engine was eventually written out of the rule book....

Some of that tobacco money spilled into the team Lotus formula 3 effort, with the type 73.

I was  at Brooklands museum in Weybridge UK a month ago and there was a nice JPS that I think was James Hunts F1 car. Lovely to look at but so basic, no driver aids just a big engine, a tub and a steering wheel, those were the days of serious F!, James Hunt, Niki Lauda and a ton of courage and in James Hunts version lots of wine and champagne! If you find yourself in the UK the museum is well worth the visit. full of planes and cars!

There was also the JPS inspired Evoras that raced at Le Mans and other circuits a few years ago.
