Calendar of Lotus events in the UK - happy Emira spotting!

[TomE]

Here are events I know about from June onwards where you might get to see an Emira or two as UK deliveries start. Where relevant, we can start new threads about specific events and I can add links to those from here. In most cases you can turn up to these without an Emira or other Lotus, so do come along to see the cars and meet other owners.

Let me know of any additions and I'll edit this first post to maintain as the reference.

Cheers Tom,good to see some events in the Midlands too.

Shelsley Walsh - Hill run is also a good meet,there were plenty of Lotus there last year

Thanks Tom
Chatsworth House it is then not a chance i will have my car by then

Who has an early Emira delivery in Scotland? Would be keen to meet up and see anyone's June or July deliveries - will keep me going until September (hopefully not October!)

Emira Car Show

I'm thinking of organising an Emira 'car show'. The thought process started by thinking how I could get to see all the colours in the flesh. With all different wheels and BP etc. Then I thought everyone who has still yet to lock in would also love this ability. So I thought I'd gauge interest...

Don't forget about 24th July in Marlow, Buckinghamshire.

Great, happy to add. Their calendar shows several competitions, members days and breakfast clubs but I can't see a Lotus-specific one.

I've got a Seneca one coming in June to West Linton. I'll be happy to show it off

 

[TomE]

You've got Lotus Owners North East (LONE) based around the Northumberland area and North Yorkshire Lotus Owners Club (NYLOC) northwards from York. I think both do a monthly meet and various events. Both have groups on Facebook.

If I hear of any special events in the North East I'll add them.

I wish there was a lotus meet at shelsley walsh as I live about 7 miles away

Excellent, I'm in Balerno so only 30 mins away! You've done well with June delivery - pre-Goodwood order?

Yes, first thing the day after the Hethel launch. You'll be most welcome to come for a nosey.

Thank you! As a Lotus supplier I was meant to be at the Hethel launch but missed it as we were in bloody Cornwall!

A few of the gems we saw there last year,there were many more.

Yes,it wasn't a specific Lotus event,but there were many there amongst the supercars etc

Just had an email yesterday saying that the Supercar fest Hill climb in Shelsley Walsh is off this year

 

[TomE]

I got that too - shame. There are other events there during the year, so one or more may attract a Lotus gathering ... or Emira owners can pick one as an Emira gathering.
