I assume Club Lotus had a stand, what was on that then ?  Missing a Europa, when you think they made near as dammit 10,000 of the things, seems a bit of a slip-up.

Brian,

Yes, there was a lot of elites and esprits, a few Elans  on a few stands. Even HSCC had a elan but no europas.

A bit frustrating really.  The other clubs all pull together and put on a great display.  Lotus however are represented by a couple of splinter groups and whilst they were all OK individually there was no real continuity. No sign of club lotus.  However there was a Europa in Hall 5 Where Steve Jarvis was sharing the joys of his Else Europa with the Sporting Bears charity.  As I have the only other surviving Else Europa I made a bee line to see his car and take a few pics. Thanks Steve for your advice.
