Jim Clark’s Classic Renauld Sunglasses Return
The Jim Clark Trust is delighted to announce the return of Jim Clark’s iconic Renauld Sunglasses.
We have teamed up with Renauld and Classic Team Lotus to introduce a limited-edition sunglass, the Jim Clark Sixty One™️.
Throughout the Sixties, Jim was an enthusiastic fan of Renauld and recently several new images have surfaced of him wearing the brand at various Grand Prix. The Jim Clark Trust collaborated with Renauld and Classic Team Lotus, in customising the Jim Clark edition of the Sixty-One and its unique leather case.

In fact, two new sunglass models have been designed, based on the two Lotus ‘Types’ that Jim took to the checkered flag countless times. The Type 25 was the Lotus in which Jim Clark won the F1 World Championship in 1963 and 1965. The Type 38 was the Lotus that Jim famously drove to victory in the 1965 Indy 500.
“Classic Team Lotus is all about celebrating the history of the Marque and I think the Renauld sunglass does this to the highest level and with great style. We will look forward to spotting these special sunglasses in the paddocks at historic Motorsport events around the World” – Clive Chapman
The Type 25 sunglass is presented in 24ct gold plate with a beautiful green and red leather case embossed with a distinctive silhouette of the winning car and Jim’s signature. Production will be extremely limited in a short batch run of just 25 units. A deposit of £350 will reserve a pair with the balance due before delivery. Alternatively the full price of price of £695.00 can be paid now.
