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 Garndiffaith near Pontypool. Expansion brought a move to the then new town of Cwmbran in 1966 - hence the name, which has remained ever since. The business is still family owned and managed, with Glyn Davies junior as company chairman. In addition to its prestigious sports car ranges, Newtown Motors also represent Vauxhall and Nissan in South East Wales. “We’re delighted to welcome a pedigree such as Lotus to our stable,” said Glyn junior. “We’ll be offering both new and used models at our newly refurbished showrooms, alongside another great British thoroughbred, Morgan. We’ll also have Lotus-trained technicians dedicated to maintaining cars to optimum level, so customers get the most out of their investment.” Newtown Motors are strong supporters of many local activities including rugby, golf, tennis, squash, drama and, as you would expect, avid Welsh rugby followers. The company looks forward to presenting the Lotus products at many events next year. For full range details and specifications call in to Newtown Motors Lotus at Somerset Road, Cwmbran NP44 1QX or call 01633 485251.

Ahh Pontypool - brings back memories. When I was at Uni (in Swansea) I had a girlfriend who lived in Pontypool - spent many happy weekend there. Saw the famous Pontypool front row play.

Your welcome to pop over for a cuppa. I wouldn't mind taking a closer look at an Exige. My Esprit is always around and pretty much my daily drive if the weather's not too bad, although its going in for a spray job on the 23rd.

Don't take the pi$$ Kimbers, Butty is a mate in Wales, shortened to Butt.... Don't use it myself, don't really get it at all either, but hey ho... There's lots of us Welsh folk Kev. Myself and Punky are the two Welsh originals on the forum, Both of us have Esprits only, no Elige variants as yet. I'm in and around Cardiff, where you living?

Newport eh? Are you the one with a red exige s2?
