Another parts sale! at Hethel

Spotted this while looking at the 60th anniversary parts sale site :

"Lotus Factory Parts Sale November 29th and 30th 2008

Recognising the fact that demand at the Lotus Parts Sale held at the 60th Lotus Event at Hethel on September 14th 2008 was far in excess of the time available, Lotus Cars Aftersales have agreed to open for another Parts Sale over the weekend of 29th and 30th November 2008. Opening times are 09.00-16.00 on Saturday and 09.00-15.00 on Sunday.

This will be a real opportunity to pick up some great bargains at clearance prices directly from the factory. There’ll also be a one-off auto jumble of small parts at unrepeatable knock-down prices.

More parts will be added over the coming weeks so keep checking to see what’s new. Please note quantities may vary from those offered and Lotus Cars cannot guarantee availability or accuracy of this list at the time of the sale.



Club Lotus will be assisting Lotus in this weekend and will be on hand for all Club related topics.

A wide selection of Lotus merchandise, including the new Lotus 60th Anniversary range, will also be available.

Classic Team Lotus has very kindly agreed to open their doors on both days for all things that relate to them including a tour of their F1 Workshops (£5 entry fee, redeemable if £30 worth of Classic Team Lotus merchandise/memorabilia is purchased).

If the weather allows, Classic Team Lotus will have several of their historic Lotus racing cars on display and are offering the rare opportunity to have your car photographed with a Lotus Formula 1 car (for which a small donation to a charity supported by Classic Team Lotus will be requested)."

Thanks for that Angus. If anyone is searching for bits I noticed the following entered as an Esprit part:

Esprit A082B4944K Front Bumper-Excel 89 On Qty 1 was £443.20 Sale price £114.89

A082 is a turbo esprit part number...

Thanks. That's what I thought, but I just mentioned it because either the part no. or the description is wrong, and you never know.

a quick consult of my esprit 1993- parts list sheds little light on the subject, the front bumper listed here is the later p691. numbering system...

is the parts list as before or is there another updated list, if so where can i view.

also is there a entrance fee for just the sale, if so are we selling tickets again.

No entrance fee mentioned - it's parts dept. only that weekend -everything else is off-limits and the no cameras rule will probably be in full force.

I don't know if we'll be selling tickets for any events in the future - the 60th birthday arrangement was a special to support us becoming self-sustaining if possible. OTOH - I'll keep negotiating wherever I can.
