All the 72's
« on: Friday,July 29, 2022, 02:51:14 PM »
I hope there is a chance that one or more of our U.K. members will have the pleasure to attend.

A very "Special event"...to be held this October by Classic Team Lotus.

I signed up as I am currently driving 2520R, a 1972 TC, and I live not far from Hethel.

Lotus do not allow photos to be taken at their factory. I don't know about across the road at the Team Lotus premises.

Alex,

 I'm sure pictures are ok at the new Team workshop, plus they have a boutique If you're interested in team gear and toys...If the weather is nice, they will probably have them staged outside on the rear driveway platform.

Oh good, I'm glad someone from the forum is going. Enjoy, Alex, and yes, if you can, snap a few photos for us. Cheers.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

Disappointment.

I am actually going there this Sunday to see a friend in a sprint there driving his Jedi race car around the test track.

I think they are referring to roadworks on the A11.

If it can cope with all the recent holiday traffic into Norfolk, it can easily cope with visitors to the Lotus museum.

I just don't buy the excuse they are giving.

This is the entry list for Sunday's sprint at Hethel.

If all these cars and spectators can get to the test track across the road from the museum, I can't see why the public cannot get there safely on 15th October.
