Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas everybody!

In the spirit of the season, here is an old Lotus Christmas card that was given to the cliub by Oliver's family. A really interesting historical item:





The observant among you will see where our club logo comes from!

I do believe Phil Tanser posted another copy of the card a while ago, but this one has Oliver's signature.

Cheers, Richard

Merry Christmas to all from this side of the pond! Hope it's warmer over there this morning- I woke up to 3 degrees F (-16C for most off you! )

Interesting that the Excel is labeled as an '82 when it has flared fenders and the Speedline wheels that didn't come out until '85.

Looking at the Christmas card there is a model which I believe never reached production, bottom right hand one.
Who knows what it is?
In Oliver´s book there is some mention perhaps?

Felices fiestas

I think the bottom right car is the Lotus M90/X100 prototype.

I’m pretty sure that’s the Giugiaro Etna concept.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all!

...and I think Allan's right about the picture being an Etna - here's a shot of one from the 1984 NEC motor show:
