Lotus Festival 2018

Stephen you need a yellow "car" sticker to get your Lotus onsite. You need a "person" ticket in your hand to get in as a person.  So:

Car plus driver = yellow sticker plus 1 ticket

Car plus driver plus one - yellow sticker plus 2 tickets

Person(s) - 1 ticket each

 

Shout anyone if this is not correct.

But what about the red vehicle stickers

Correct

Or no (Lotus) car, on foot via park and ride : one person one ticket.

If you don't have a person ticket look on the thread offering spare tickets/rides in.

Featured in Practical Classics last year - October 2017 'High Mile Club' - she was on only 248,737 back then. Tempted to put a copy of the article on the windscreen to mitigate against the stone chips and rusting windscreen wiper! 

Owned 18 years as daily driver that lives outside - if there's interest I'll write something up for the forums...

Best traffic jam I've ever been caught up in at the 60th, coming off the A11 - Lotus cars as far as the eye could see...

Wonderful!

Trying to park up 1500 Lotus in a 90 minute window....I reckon you might get to experience it all over again

Just treated my Esprit to an oil change and quick check-up, did some shopping and packed my bag. All ready to head for the Calais ferry early in the morning.

What a gentleman. That's what Lotus and TLF are all about. Not for me Andy as we are coming from way up North in gods country. But a brilliant gesture.

I’ll be en route from the chunnel Fridaymorning, taking a quick visit of Cambridge before heading to Dunston Hall.

Posted this on Facebook but worth saying her too.

Safe travelling to the event to everyone tomorrow and Saturday. Hoping for no problems for anyone, but if you see someone at the side of the road needing help, do the right thing and give them a hand.

Let's all take care of each other and make sure we get there and back safely.

[Giniw 222]

Right, I just booked my hotel room, now I just need to do a few trimming things on the Esprit and after that I will need to pack my bag. All is going as plannedexpected!

[Royal 32]

Iain, your car deserves a spread in the Absolute Lotus magazine!

[soldave 245]

Did we ever get any closure on where that sticker should go (driver or passenger side)?!

[Barrykearley 5,553]

Near side top of the screen.

Unless you have a 211

[Bibs 9,123 4 Vehicles]

Passenger side, the left side as you view the car from the rear. It's so a bloke on the side of the road can see it.

Those planning to drive Friday on the M25 through the Dartford Tunnel please allow for a long queue. From 1 pm onwards on Fridays the queue can go right back to the M20 exit for the M25. Hope this "heads up" helps?

Sticker now fitted in 211, near side aero screen, not top or bottom, more top to bottom.  

Perfectly colour matched too

Going to be a long cold drive down.

So, even for a LHD I suppose? I hope I can put it somewhere not too intrusive %)

[Barrykearley 5,553]

Top of the screen - it’ll be just fine
