Is your Lotus in good enough condition for us to exhibit at shows?

We need a bank of owners who have concours (or close) condition cars that we can call upon at the various events throughout the year.

Please don't be shy if you're car isn't 100% perfect, we appreciate that these aren't new cars and will consider all cars on their merits for the various events. Also, we get a lot of requests from magazines, Lotus Cars and dealers for cars for events, we'll also contact you about these.

Please post below and add images to the dedicated gallery we've set up.

Thanks :thumbsup:

Excellent Idea boss. Posted Image My old jellopies are available.

Being able to show your pride and joy at these events is a real compliment to you and your car, supports the club and is great fun to boot, so don't hold back.

I'm guessing a yellow GT3 with a V8 front and number plate fixing bolts (beautifully colour coded) in the deck just isn't cricket? Posted Image

Lionel and Eleanor both appear to enjoy showing off so will no doubt make themselves available if required. As you know, both are well used so not concours but usually clean and shiney if that's enough.

I'm always keen the show off the old girl, so add her too the list. Probably the incentive I need to get some detailing jobs done especially the engine.
