I'm planning a trip.

Memphis to Monroe (LA) to New Orleans in September.
(Mind you Hertz can only supply me a Mustang Conv(?) for my sins)

Will I see any Esprits en route?

You could detour southeast to Starkville, MS. I have an 83 Turbo currently in restoration phase. It would be out of the way but not by too much. I've been trying to get a pack of JPS cigarettes for my center console. If you could get a pack maybe we could meet somewhere if you couldn't get over to Starkville. I grew up in the Mario F1 years and I have great memories of the JPS Special '78 and '79. When I owned a '72 Lotus Europa I had a pack on the center console and it was always a great conversation piece.

They might have what you are looking for. Go in to Premium and then Players...

If you don't get them there, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

They may have less "SMOKING KILLS" adverts on them over here?

I had a look at the site and saw the Players cigarette box. I couldn't zoom in too much but it doesn't appear to be the same as I remember. The pack is black but I remember John Player Special written in gold raised letters on the pack. Do they still make JPS in England?

Thanks again,
louis

I saw the JPS smokes in Norwich England last July and they are still out there.... I almost brought them for my display and did not.... kicking myself in the arrse!
These were like the ones I saw some 20 plus years ago, black box with gold lettering.
Cheers,
Robert

Do you have a Lotus memorablia display? If you do what all do you have?
