We're having a display of Elites and Eclats at this year's Donington Historic Festival which is being held from 3-5 May - so this is a call for anyone with an Elite or Eclat to bring their car along. You can book in for 1, 2 or 3 days by checking the club booking instructions at viewtopic.php?f=13&t=10982 - be sure to use the club discount code, and, despite what it says on the website, a visitor pass is included with the car pass.
Anniversary car stickers (22.5cm x 5cm) are available from me at £5 each plus 80p p&p per order - just pm me with your requirements. Revenue from sales will fund anniversary merchandise etc. The design is as in the signature image below.
We may well be producing mugs with the sticker design - watch this space!
All the best,
Richard

Update - Oliver Winterbottom will be joining us at Donington on Friday 3 May, so a good opportunity to meet him and talk about the cars if you haven't done so already!
It looks like he'll also be giving an interview at the event.
Cheers, Richard

Richard can I order stickers? for delivery at the event.
The Lotus Eclat, a lot like the English Whisky company: comes from Norfolk and better than you are often told it is.
