Chassis:
With three victories, chassis 79/3 or JPS21 was the most successful of the five Lotus 79s built. It was driven to a debut win in the Spanish Grand Prix by Mario Andretti. He would also add the French and German races to his tally on the way to the World Championship. Substituting for the disappointing Lotus 80, it was used well into the 1980 season by Andretti and Carlos Reuteman. Lotus retained the car upon its retirement and today it is part of the Classic Team Lotus stable. Maintained to the highest standards, it is seen here during the 2007 and 2009 Goodwood Festivals of Speed.
