Pull the 21 April 1988 edition of Autosport from the archives and you’ll find an image of Johnny Herbert, arm aloft in triumph, crossing the finishing line in the opening round of the International F3000 season at Jerez. In a stark visual echo of the white border around the photo, Johnny’s Eddie Jordan Racing-entered Reynard 88D is also almost completely white, bereft of sponsor logos but for an Avon Tyres sticker on the front-wing endplate and a Camel cigarettes banner on the sidepod.
Camel wasn’t even an EJR sponsor at that point. In fact, it had turned down Jordan’s approaches.
