NEC Classic restoration show 18-20 March 2022

[richardw]

The show starts next Friday, so only a few days to go.

We have a limited number of wristband passes that are not yet allocated. These are available to any member planning to come to the show, and mean you get free entry. We may ask you to accept limited duty to man the stand in exchange. Please post here if you want one stating the day(s) you will be attending, and we will allocate the passes on a first come first served basis.

At the show will be Marcus Horrell’s ‘Eclacco’ car, an Elite and Richard Goslings Excel. In addition Lotusbits are kindly bringing along a rusty Elite chassis together with parts of the new chassis they are developing. This will be a good opportunity to identify the weak points of the Elite chassis. Also, Richard Gosling plans to replace his Excel headlining at the show.

Cheers, Richard

Any chance of a pass for Friday? - Happy to man the stand when ever you wish.

[richardw]

No problem Phil, I can’t be there till Sunday but I’ll ask Tony Dakin to contact you with details of who to contact to collect your pass on Friday.

Cheers, Richard

I should be there at 9am if the train is on time. I will phone you Stuart when I get there. Does your phone number still end 7772. Just checking I have the correct number.

Looks good…where did that Elite come from?

Thanks for pulling it all together chaps!

Cheers, Richard

It's a Lotus Mirage
The first lotus not to begin with an E.

[richardw]

Ah! A Mirage! A vision that you never attain - sounds a bit familiar….or could it be a Lotus Eclipse?

Cheers, Richard

[richardw]

Just seen on fb that it is Stu’s Mirage/eclipse/ectoplasm/elite or whatever - it truly has been the dance of the seven veils. You’re in the wrong job Stu. Looking forward to hearing the full story - do I detect the hand of Hissey?

Cheers, Richard

Nice! Going to need a lot more pictures and explanations for those of us who can't be there and are confused by all the goings on....
