I wonder if they just like the JPS livery or are they saying how much they like the cigarettes they smoke.

There was genuinely a JPS Ford Capri.  It was a Mk 2 and was far more restrained than the photo!

I have to confess to having been a Mk 3 Capri man for a time...

Just happened across this. Another JPS bike? Where did these come from?

I can't make out the tank badge, but there was a JPS/Norton team years ago in the Isle of Man TT. I'd guess it was early 70s or thereabouts because I packed up motorbikes around '75-ish, but I do recall Peter Williams riding with John Player as sponsor, but that was before the black livery. Did the black/gold come along with Lotus ?

Seems bike builders like the JPS brand.

Who knew there were so many JPS bikes! I imagine if we lived in England, we'd know of lots of JPS stuff!

I still think that the Lotus 79 in JPS livery was one of the most beautiful race cars ever raced!

Nope. I'm talking about Black Beauty. Maybe the most beautiful F1 car ever! Here are some pictures:
