Elite M50 50th Anniversary

Lotus Elite 50th Anniversary The Lotus Elite was originally planned for launch in March 1974. This had to be delayed at the last minute until May 1974 because of the extent of industrial disruption at the time.

I'm arranging a meet with Richard Friday morning.
Thanks Stu.
If Stu no longer needs a pass then I can come to the show on Friday morning and bring the stuff - saves having to drive across just to hand over to Tony. Farmer Richard, are you ok with this?

Cheers, Richard

Re: NEC Restoration Show 2024 - Call for Volunteers

Guys if someone can meet me Friday morning and take the mugs into the show then I don’t need my ticket. I could meet Stu or Tony near the NEC. I don’t want either of you to miss out on your Friday passes. I’m still trying to get the board sticker printed but I do have a box of 25 mugs! Let me know w...

Re: Polestar

The difference is that petrol power developed under the forces of a free market - more convenient, cost effective etc. Electric vehicles only exist because of government diktat and subsidy. What could possibly go wrong? Richard If Ford could make more profit building a car that throws a little bit ...

Still getting kicked out - any more ideas? Pete It’s almost certainly something to do with your browser settings as nobody else seems to have the problem, and there haven’t been any changes in our platform as far as I can see. Do you have cookies enabled, for example? Not that I’m an expert! Cheers...

Further responses received from the Grand Tourers post: Leigh Greenham and two other Elite S2.2 owners want to come out to play. Gareth Flanagan has sent me a Facebook message with a suggested design for the anniversary - I haven’t been able to copy it to send to you but will keep trying! I quite li...

Re: Active Esprit

As Alan says, the ‘brains’ are missing. I remember hearing that the software was probably thrown away during one of the clearouts at Hethel. That I think included the processor as the software would have been on some kind of non-volatile memory. Such a shame.

Re: Elite 50th Anniversary - Banner / Display ?

I don’t know where this info about it being ‘carved up’ comes from - as Richard says I met Mark Robinson at the show and was also in touch with the previous owner. Dave, can you elaborate?

Thanks, Richard
