Yes I've said I'll bring my new (old) 74 Elite to the NEC.

Service vehicle (for free parking and storage).
Gill Windwood's Excel
LotusJim's highly polished Excel?
Igg Hiss' Eclat

Need an Elite or two and another Eclat, I think...
If you need a second Elite and there are no other volunteers then I can be there

Club Lotus News July issue mentions the special display organised by Tanz and local members and it has a discount code (page 3), but the code only seems to apply to the lower cost Saturday and Sunday tickets.

Well, if I was right all the time I'd get to be predictable!

On stand:

Gill Windwood's Excel
LotusJim's highly polished Excel?
Igg Hiss' Eclat
Colin's 74 Elite
Elite or Eclat Chassis and/or body on loan from restoration

4ft table + MJK + OW.

And, for the first time, ever things on stand will not all be arriving in a Lotus vehicle.

Should be. It's a biggish image that is hosted on the show site. If you can't see it, email me and I'll tell you the code.
