OK Guys, this'll test you.

The white "Elan Sprint" lettering that is on top of the Gold stripes used on a Sprint.

Anyone know what font is used ?

Hello Richard

I can't remember the name off the top of my head, but tell me what you want it for & I might be able to help with this.

Its a style/design I "Borrowed" for my company logo, but I only have it in a .bmp format these days & now need to use it as white text on a coloured background.

Not sure on that one. Susan Miller will probably be able to tell you; give her a call.

I can tell you that the script on the wing badge is Impact for the "Lotus Elan" and then Mistral for the "Sprint"!

Cannot find it at the moment but 2 very similar fonts you could try are
"Eurosyle" or "Microgramma". They are not the same but they have a lot of similarities. On the "ELAN SPRINT" it has a lot of spacing added between the letters & you may have to stretch one of the above fonts to get it to look the same. If you get stuck, I will send you my number via a PM & I will help you to do this. Also, please tell me more about the company name you want to create (via pm if you want). Good luck

All the best

I bought my Sprint stripes from RD Enterprises ( www.rdent.com ). They made up a run of their own Sprint stripes a little while back that look quite original. They may still have some in stock. (I had some original unused NOS Lotus Sprint stripes that no longer have the stickum, but I don't think any Lotus NOS stripes will work after so much time has passed, so I opted for the RD Enterprises stripes and was quite please with the outcome.)

You can contact them directly, and I'm sure they could tell you the fonts.
