When I was little, I had a die cast JPS race car.  I had no idea it was a Lotus, or F1, or anything.  I didn't even know that it was a cigarette ad.  It was black and gold, and cool.

I really liked when Jordan put the snake head on their cars.  Buzz'n Hornets was a pretty good trick they pulled.

I also really like the STR paint job.  They let RBR be the standard, corporate car, but they really made the STR stick out.

The Ferrari Red might not be imaginitive, but there is nothing more iconic to F1 than a Red Ferrari.  You take anyone in the world, show them a red car with wings, and they'll say it's a Ferrari.

My favorite color has always been green. I like the Leaper on the airbox, too.

I would be sort of predictable with my favorite choice of F1 car livery. I pretty sure it would be red??

I will hold judgment on my favorite red car until tomorrow morning until I see the new car.

Besides the JPS Lotus it's the all blue Elf Tyrell of the early 70's that does it for me. Both  were, and still are, very clean and fresh looking.

The 7 Up Jordan was just stunning, a really pretty car but the 72 Lotus will always take some beating. :good:

I must admit Lotus have always floated my boat although Jaguar always looked better than it performed.

The Jag would have been nicer without all the white on it.

I liked the Buzz'n Hornets as well, and I had the same die cast Lotus that Jeri had I guess.  In fact I think I still have it somewhere.

Yeah, those massive HSBC logos all over the car did it no favours at all. 

As for me, I really liked the Buzzing Hornets Jordan livery, the 7up Jordan livery, the Spyker Orange livery, the McLaren Marlboro iconic livery, the FW14B livery, the Tyrrell blue livery and of the classic Gold Leaf and JPS Louts liveries.

I always kind of liked green and white cars, Scott. ;)
