The Lotus Grand Tourers

Here is a set of collages showing all the Oliver Winterbottom Lotus partygoers I could find at Hethel - a grand total of 34, made up of 7 Elites (including 1 Riviera), 4 Eclats (including 1 Sprint and 1 Riviera), and 23 Excels (including 1 narrowbody, at least 1 Celebration, and at least 1 SA):

I think the management should ask nicely for 3 of the wall panels shown in the bottom middle picture.

How better to demonstrate this years NEC Classic show theme "Built to last".

There were plenty of them

Great Pictures Richard - there was also a yellow excel on the stand next to ours but I didn’t get a pic of that one either !!

Well done Richard - a great set of pictures.

I have a poster (and a mug, and a t-shirt!)

The other great thing about that graphic is that it was used as the backdrop for the senior executives' speeches. The Elite was in the immediate background when they did a head shot

Cheers, Richard

Yes, I remember it now - how come I missed it? So that makes 35, and I also saw a red one moving away from the Lotusbits pitch but was too late to get a picture - so it could be 36.

Cheers, Richard

Fantastic Day

Calendar production starts tomorrow. HINT! HINT!

If you'd like to put any of the above photos in the calendar please let me know and I'll send a link to the full resolution versions. Martin.

Keep posting how good the event was. They might make it an annual gathering.

Thanks to everyone posting the great photos.Would love to have been there, first I've missed for 40 odd years. Was there a booklet for the event? If anyone has a spare, may I buy it? Cheers, Jeff.

I *may* have some news about booklets etc. by the time we get to the NEC.

I had a booklet. Lost it. A kind soul gave me another. Lost that too. Sorry!
