Fly Lotus Window Sticker
Posted: Fri Jan 25, 2013 5:01 pm
Tim's recent post on Annual Reports got me thinking...
You may recall the 'Fly Lotus' campaign from back in the day. I remember a poster up on the wall at the Vancouver BC Lotus dealer that was similar to the ad in the link below

A number of years ago friend of mine in Vancouver had a very early RHD Plus 2 (Ex Mike Spence, Chassis number ~19?). We both recall the ghosted image of the Fly Lotus tag line in the lower portion of the rear window glass. The sticker had been removed but the lettering was still visible in the glass.
Does anyone have a clue of the font and layout used on these window stickers? Maybe a period picture? I vaguely remember it as a bold italic all caps font similar to the LOTUS sign in Mark's car show pic. Can't recall if it had the Lotus logo.

I always liked the tag line; reminds me of the 'Whispering Bomb' line used for the BMW 2002. Thought it would be fun to have a similar window sticker on my car.
