Not sure the Lotus ever appeared for Marlboro, they were arch rivals of JPS. It did appear in Gold Leaf livery though.

Marlboro were sponsors of BRM in that period (with the P160) and moved to McLaren shortly after. Somewhere I still have a Polystil diecast model of the Marlboro MRM P160.

No question, the Lotus 72 was the best looking F1 car of the time.

It is my all time favorite F1 Car, If I ever had the money I would buy one just to look at it.
