Hey all, I have just bought an 87 lotus excel, and was wondering if anyone knew how many excels there are in Australia. I am based on the Gold Coast. Kemal

##### update ##### They received my application form today (9 months later) and acknowledge that payment was made in FEB,so my club card is in the mail.To make up for it,they will be making the expiry date be in late 2021.So all good in the end! just took a bit longer than usual.

I've neglected my car a bit and am now getting enthusiastic again. I'm trying to find details re buying the filters and am not getting very far. The seats and interior are starting to look/feel a bit sad. Can anyone recommend someone? I'm willing to travel to ensure it's done properly.

Well the winter afternoons have certainly kicked in for Australia. I took my Elise Sport 220 out for a quick run for some fresh air https://www.la-lente.com.au/why-you-should-own-a-lotus-elise-sports-car/

Just say this, Similarly I sent Eliot an email for a wanted add and that was some time ago and haven't heard back which is unusual.

Very odd, I had no problems at all joining and renewing. If they have your money, they will have a record, so keep at them.

Hi guys, just a heads up,back in January i printed out the application form to join the club and deposited the money via bank transfer(bad move) and proceeded to post the application.A month later ,after no response i contacted the secretary(ElliotNicholls) asking whats going on.Was told that the PO box isnt checked every week and that they would look into it.Fast forward two months later and still nothing even after i sent another email last week.Unable to get money back but lesson learned,next time do credit card or paypal so you can get a refund if you get nothing in return.

Definitely not to be missed. Great for partners and children too because of all the other attractions besides cars. Just stay away from the art sales. The cheapest item I saw last year was a couple of thousand dollars.

Club Lotus Australia has display at the 15th of September 2019 at the picturesque The Kings School, Pennant Hills Road North Parramatta. http://allbritishdaysydney.asn.au/

No, I'm building a wardrobe at my daughter's place. How did you go with the museum auction and and the auto brunch at St Ives?

@DanR and others, anyone going to cars and coffee Sydney in Luddenhal?

@DanR might know of something?

Steve Taylor at Lotus Marques. If he can't do a VASS certificate, I suspect he would be able to point you in the right direction.

Hi Guys, i am down under for a couple weeks and wondered if there was any car meet nearby I could join. Thanks

@Fammodid you end up bringing the car over? I would be quite interested to know how it went. I am planning to retire in Australia and expect to bring a bunch of cars by then including 3-4 lotus so I wonder how difficult they have been. Thanks
