Dear Club Lotus members

I would like to draw your attention to a very special Lotus highlight at the Tabac Classic Grand Prix in Assen from September 5th to 7th.

Our plans for this disused brownfield site include retention and retrofit of this historic Lotus asset:

Retrofitting the historic Lotus Cars manufacturing workshop and showroom to celebrate Lotus’ heritage, for use as a publicly accessible Lotus themed cafe and community building.

From June 1st the Club Lotus office will be closed on Fridays, although the answerphone will still be on. Our new office hours will be from 09.00 to 17.00 Monday to Thursday, when AnneMarie, Jane and Alan will be available to assist members and Lotus enthusiasts with all membership renewals and enquiries, club shop orders and general help and information.

Our annual track day at Castle Combe takes place on Saturday 24th May. It’s always one of our most enjoyable events of the year and is a great Club Lotus day out as well as a brilliant value and safe track day exclusively for Lotus cars.

2025 is a big year for Lotus with the 50th anniversary of Esprit, 30 years of Elise and 25 years of Exige. We will have track parades for all 3 models on Sunday 24th – don’t miss this opportunity to join in the celebrations and drive the full GP circuit.

The Festival organisers have just told us that the booking deadline for Car Club ticket packages has been extended until 31st July (unless tickets sell out before!). Club packages are incredible value and remember that all of them include a priceless free infield parking pass to our club stand. In our opinion it’s the best classic and race festival in the UK and with our member discounts certainly the best value.

Due to unforeseen circumstances I have the following ticket for sale. The ticket is for The CTL Garden Party on Sunday 16th June at East Carleton Manor. The cost would be almost half price at only £100. Please contact me on coooterry@aol.com or 07956 435321. Terry Cook

Allon White Sports Cars hosts a Breakfast Club on the 1st Saturday of every month. The running order is bacon rolls, tea, coffee and cakes from 9am and then a guest speaker or workshop at 10am.

For our next Breakfast Club on Saturday 6th July, we're having a bit of a light-hearted debate on who builds the better British sports car, Lotus or Morgan...

And to help things along, we've two great speakers lined up.
