Weight: 15 kg
An exceptional and evocative piece of Formula 1 history, this original front bodywork section derives from the legendary 1978 Lotus 79 “John Player Special”, one of the most revolutionary and dominant cars ever built.
The Lotus 79, designed by Colin Chapman, Peter Wright, and Martin Ogilvie, introduced ground-effect aerodynamics that transformed Formula 1 engineering. Driven by Mario Andretti and Ronnie Peterson, the car delivered six Grand Prix victories and secured both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships for Lotus in 1978, marking a golden era for the team.
This striking front bodywork, finished in the iconic black and gold John Player Special livery, embodies the elegance and innovation of late-1970s Formula 1 design. Constructed in lightweight composite materials, it showcases the aerodynamic purity that made the Lotus 79 a technical masterpiece. The gold sponsor graphics remain beautifully preserved, a testament to the car’s glamour and prestige.
Presented in excellent display condition, this sculptural panel represents not only a technological milestone but also a piece of motorsport art—ideal for collectors, museums, or automotive connoisseurs seeking a centerpiece with deep historical resonance.
Provenance:
Ex-Lotus Team bodywork, retained by a former factory engineer.
A magnificent artifact from the World Championship-winning Lotus 79, celebrating one of Formula 1’s most beautiful and innovative eras.
