Good morning Jay, thank you! Yes, you're not far away, I look forward to crossing paths. I think WhatsApp groups are invitation-only, I've not found a way to search for them? I'll keep an eye out for any mention though. I've a fairly high-miler X180 Carb Turbo in the garage that's been with me nearly ten years now. It does have some S4 parts on it but no doubt Ken will spot plenty that aren't! Haven't joined LDC yet but I met Rob (Sport 350, Cardiff maybe?) a few years back at Castle Combe and someone else from the club let me join their stand so I know they're a friendly bunch. I've

Morning JayTwo welcome to the right side of the boarder. Happy to meet up when things relax. I know a few owners around here and there is a good WhatsApp group of lotus types who have run outs. Lotus I think if you look for that you can find them? Have you joined LDC? What you driving? Ken in the WhatsApp group has a red s4 too. Stay safe. Jay

This week I've moved to the Ebbw Vale area, so consider me an addition to this group if you'll tolerate my wrong-side-of-the-border accent! I know there are others in the area, I was admiring a beautiful little white Elan at the Llangynidr show only last summer but didn't find the owner. Hopefully there'll be time left this summer for motoring meets and adventures, looking forward to meeting some new faces and cherished wheels.

Hello. I just bought an Esprit Turbo HC ( pic on introductions) but can't collect it for a fortnight. I'm located in Cardigan but interested in meeting up when the weather improves. I hear there's a group who meet near Cardiff cheers

Never got around to looking down the index page until today! I'm here in North Wales near to Mold.

id say yes maybe it would draw more attention to the welsh section of the forum to get a better head count of how many of us are here

Should this topic be renamed 'lotus owners in wales' perhaps?

I didn't know there was a welsh section im in Blaengarw at the top of the Garw valley north of Bridgend,

if anymore of us welshies crawl out of the woodwork we'll be getting enough numbers for a clan.

I didn't know there was a Welsh section on here as I normally frequent the other lotus forum!

Even got their own theme tune... Plenty of parking too apparently. Buddsy

Quick nudge that this is tomorrow for those thinking about heading along

I'm in. (flying the welsh flag) Its only up the road from me.

Lotus has appointed Newtown Motors of Cwmbran as an official dealer for the whole of South Wales. Newtown Motors, an independent family business, has a long association with motorsport stretching back to the 1969 when the company was appointed as agents for MG. It has since represented niche brands such as Noble and TVR in the principality, and is currently Wales’ only Morgan dealer. Full sales and service facilities for Lotus have now been added at Cwmbran. Lotus was founded in 1952, two years after Newtown Motors founder Glyn Davies opened his first garage at the small village of Garn
