In awe of the original Lotus 72 | Three Men Four Wheels 

The most beautiful racing car ever built.

Is there anything more amazing than 1960's and 70's Formula 1 cars?

If I think of a Formula 1 car, I think of this one. The most iconic one ever.

I lived in England in the Mid '70s, as a kid. I had a huge laminated JPS Formula 1 Poster on my wall I received as a birthday gift. My father took me to a British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch, I think it was 1976. It was a very memorable experience. I witnessed a F1 car fly off the track heading directly toward me. I was behind the second of two tall chain link fences near one of the corners. During the race I got a JPS T-Shirt, and inflatable Goodyear Tyres Blimp. The John Player Special Race Vehicles in my opinion were absolutely awesome. The the Gold Trim and Gloss Black Paint Scheme, was stylized from their cigarette's flip-top box packaging. My father fabricated for me a "Mini-Formula 1" style go-cart with a motorcycle engine, however after it was finished he realized how insanely fast it was and I really didn't get to drive it..

McLaren MP4-4 is my definitive F1 car but growing up, my dad wouldn't shut up about this car. Watching RU-vid clips of it in action, I now realise why.

Emerson and Ronnie💪🏼🇸🇪🇧🇷

Emerson Fittipaldi and his Lotus 72 D. Wow!!!

My first F1 toy, and I have it still today. A wonderfull car

I also saw Emerson drive this car at Brands Hatch in 72. Greatest Formula 1 car of all time.

Essentially, this was the first "modern" F1 car, with the two radiators next to the driver, the air scoop above, as F1 cars still are configured 53 years later.

I absolutely love it when you guys do this but you do need to do it with Tiff and Miss Vicki because we all love Vicki more Miss Vicki Vicki Vicki we all love Vicki God bless her and her family

I was named after Emerson and met him in '97 at Goodwood - this is THE best looking F1 car ever. I even had two JPS Capris as well - at the same time and have a good collection of JPS memorabilia.

What is 50% of the beauty is a pack of 20 I used to smoke! The Gold Leaf livery made it look plain.

Incredible F1 car!!

i have a model of this car my dad had it when he was a kid in the 70s its an old corgi i think

This is way before my time, I think it's Special Formula 1 car, thanks for sharing

Os carros da Lotus são todos belíssimos eu fico triste pela Lotus não está na F1 a Lotus tem que voltar.

Now THIS is F1! Today's racing is just bland. When there's no 'danger of death', no characters, no point! 🤘😎🎸
