I think I'd like to have the cam covers to put on my J-H. I've wondered why Lotus didn't want to do that, and why J-H didn't insist on it?

How about a disassembled 907 on the hood of a Studebaker?
And Dale...you don't like the JH covers?

Not that I don't like them, I just think the Lotus name would be cool. J-H wanted every one to know their engine was a Lotus, so why didn't they put it on the valve covers? Or, was Lotus not willing to do that?

I think it was just a branding item. Jensen also did that on the interceptors, and they were american engines.

Or, was Lotus not willing to do that? Given some of the problems with the early engines, maybe Lotus thought being discrete was a good idea.... My J-H was a "factory car" used by them for a couple years after it was made and then sold to the public in 1975, but they replaced the engine just before the sale with a later one.
