Welcome to the Cup club. Nice choice.
We have a nice little Cup owners page on FB. If you are on FB then come past and say hi.
That car has been discussed on there recently.

Hi Paul, I used matte PPF only. That’s all it needs.
I use special stuff made for Red Bull but Xpel does do a matte Stealth PPF now which I’m sure you can buy in sheets.
Mibe has been on for over a year now and is still working a treat.

Hey Paul,
Good for you. Was it my car that persuaded you when we were in Ypres?
Looking forward to seeing it.
If you are on Facebook don't forget to join the Cup Owners Group & Register.

I was going round thinking how could this day get any better? – Then heard Clive say on the PA that Hazel would be attending.
It was great to finally get to visit the factory. With the future looking so positive and so many key people from the past there it was all so good.
Thanks Bibs for getting SLOC along. Great to be there on such a fantastic day!
Nice to have a pic of my car with Clive and Hazel in it.
May I ask for an original please Jerry?

One thing I mentioned to my son whilst wandering around and watching the "one of every Lotus road car" display is that Lotus doesn't seem to have made a single dud model in all those 70 years. All of them are desirable. Compare that to moneybags Porsche with their back catalogue including the lame 100bhp 1.6 litre 912, van-engined cheapo 924, monstrous diesel Cayenne, grotesque Panamera etc. Also all Lotus owners are true enthusiasts of the marque, as was patently obvious on Saturday. No-one buys a Lotus without having real knowledge of sports cars, which is probably why they don't sell that many!
It was great heading up and back down the A11 to see which brightly coloured shape would appear in the rear-view mirror next!
i fully agree with that. I have a mate that is just about to buy a Ferrari. He loves driving cars hard but just cant see Lotus as an option. I tried getting him to buy a GT430 but his reply was "It is too much money for what it is. Most buy for the badge on the front and what others think rather than what engineering is underneath.

I'm hoping to be there by 5ish.

OK, so how many booked for Caistor Hall. We have two rooms booked for the two nights. I see it's now fully booked. Kimbers will be over on Saturday morning with his hangover to show us the way to the factory. I Think.
I'm staying at Caistor for both nights with my missus.

I'll be going up Saturday morning from Flitwick (nr Millbrook) direction, happy to convoy up or meet people along the route (A507, A11)
We'll see you there Mark. We decided to make the weekend of it and rough it in Caistor Hall.
Got my car on the stand so need an early start to get it cleaned up.

I was going to but I completely forgot. Did we need to sign up or just turn up?
No ticket , no entry. Tickets sold out (but free) after about 5 hours.
Dealers have been given an allocation to give to potential customers but I suppose they have all gone now too.

Whoops. Forgot that. 😂
Yes, I’m going from Bedford on Friday from about 4pm.

I'm there. I'll be in my V40 though as I will be 3 up.
-
I didn't realise that Caistor had rooms as I looked on Booking.com and said it was sold out so booked a B&B near Spooners Row.
Then I clicked the link to the actual hotel and still has rooms available. Managed to cancel the B&B fortunately.
See you there Friday night.

So many boring performance cars on the market with too many toys to help with driving I thought this was the only option other than a Caterham.
I have loved my first year of ownership. Looking forward to many more.

Welcome Dirk.
Get some pics up. Love the seats in the CR.

Nice choice. As much as French cars are normally not anywhere near the top of my want list, this car does take my fancy.
My Elise Cup featured alongside this car in July's Car Magazine and the journalist writing the article did say it was the closest car to driving a Lotus. The article featured the TTRS and the Cayman 718 too.
Strangely the porker came out top but I suppose that was the overall package.
Enjoy, its a great looking car.

Ok so I'm not lucky enough to own a 430 but if you want a nice little Toxic Green Elise Cup on the stand then i'm in.
