EXTERIOR
There’s something alluring about racing liveries on road cars, and the black and gold Lotus JPS partnership is perhaps the most captivating of them all. It has been nearly 50 years since the iconic combination was first introduced to the world, and yet applied to the latest Exige it still looks incredible; framing the cars aggressive curves whilst maintaining an inherent sense of nostalgia and exclusivity being the only car produced by the factory.

With a deep metallic flake the Motorsport Black finish presents with a resplendent shine, contrasted subtly by the carbon weave of the bonnet, roof and rear spoiler. Up front sits a set of large intakes; channelling air through the rear diffuser and spoiler they help the Lotus to produce 220kg of downforce, a huge amount considering the car tips the scales at just over 1000kg.

Full PPF treatment, at a cost of £6k, ensures the glorious finish remains in superb order throughout and future proofs the popular and iconic livery.

INTERIOR
Continuing the JPS theme, black leather and alcantara with gold contrast stitching adorn much of the interior, including the ultra lightweight carbon bucket seats which sit deep below the huge sills. The luxurious upholstery is offset by lashings of carbon fibre and machined metal throughout the space, including the intricate engineering of the exposed gear linkage, a work of art in itself.

Despite the lightweight focus of the Exige, this example comes specified with optional Air Conditioning, Radio and Bluetooth to prevent the interior feeling too sparse. Having covered less than 5k miles the cabin sits in near showroom condition, free from any discernible signs of wear.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Developed in partnership with Toyota, the Exige’s supercharged 3.5L V6 produces 430bhp; mightily impressive considering its lightness. With a power to weight ratio of over 400bhp per tonne it manages 0-60 in just 3.2 seconds and flies onto a top speed of 174mph. Paired to a full titanium sports exhaust and a 6-speed manual gearbox it makes the featherweight Exige an enthralling driving experience, engaging on B-roads and race tracks alike.

The car comes with 2 exhaust systems, the original titanium exhaust and a tubular 70mm valved exhaust that is currently fitted.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Finished in gold as part of the exclusive JPS pack, the staggered 17″/18″ ultra lightweight forged aluminium wheels look sensational and present in immaculate condition. A premium set of matching Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres sit with reasonable tread at each corner.

Nitron 3-Way Adjustable Dampers and AP Racing brakes complete the high performance set up; providing a level and responsive handling with plenty of stopping power on demand.

HISTORY FILE
First unveiled at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed, this one-off Exige Type 79 Special was produced to celebrate Lotus’ 70th birthday and commemorate the 40th anniversary of their F1 World Championship win with Mario Andretti in the legendary Lotus Type ’79. Based on a top spec Lotus Exige Cup 430 the car was finished in the iconic John Player Special racing livery of Motorsport Black metallic with gold accents, as well as gold painted ultra lightweight wheels, tonal handmade black/gold interior and a special gold commemorative plaque on the passenger side sill.

Alongside a Type 49 Special, the car took on the famous hill climb before being registered in March 2019 and sold as the most unique/highly specified Exige Cup 430 on the road. The car was purchased by the 2nd and current keeper in September 2019 who used the car sparingly, covering just 2,700 miles under his ownership. The car has been serviced twice by Lotus since leaving the factory; at 874 miles on 30/04/19 and most recently at 3,731 miles on 30/06/20 as outlined by the stamped original service book and accompanying invoices.

Present with the car is the original stamped service book with accompanying invoices, V5 and 2 sets of keys.
