I have only seen a small number of these press shots where the word Sprint has been placed on the front grill; it was used in the Sprint brochure though on a RHD car and I also have a photo of a lagoon blue over white Sprint similarly plated.
This photo would have been taken in late 1970 or, more likely, early 1971 and probably by Monitor Press for Lotus. I like the way the sidelights look so bright!
