Just a heads up for this, the WHOLE Lotus Esprit community is descending on mass to Great Yarmouth sea front on Sunday, we have parking arranged in the St Nicholas car park & its all for charity, local radio apparantly will be there aswell as some Star Wars characters confused

Around 100 Esprits are taking park ranging from the earliest S1's to the latest '02 V8's, then on the Monday we head to Hethel for a factory vist. Should be a good weekend, If your around pop down & say Hi.

I often look at the esprit forum on PH and havent spotted anything about it. I wouldnt mind joining in and talking to some Esprit v8 owners. Do you have a link?

Since the Espritforum started a few years ago theres not much going on in the Esprit section here. All the talk about this event is on the Esprit forum but you need to register to access it.

Theres info on Espritworld www.lotusespritworld.com/news.html If you scroll down a little. There should be about 100 Esprits on the sea front from about 2pm onwards.

If you have any questions about anything at all to do with Esprits there will be someone more than happy to chat for hours & hours sleep with you there.

Turned up for a look at about 3:00pm,the 'Lotus crew' were all parked nearly opposite the pleasure beach entrance in the St Nicholas car park,looked a pretty impressive turn out,well worth a trip down,even if i did feel a bit like the odd one outhehe

Thankyou! This is my first day back on line so just catching up, wow what a weekend. Someone counted 92 Esprits for the factory vist on Monday, I think about 80ish for the Gt yarmouth run. Big thanks to the organisers & of course Lotus for a fantastic tour of the factory & letting us around the Hethel test track.

Can we do it again please!

Sure can - if you give us a bit more warning next time we'll include it on the phea.co.uk calendar as a 'Raid' next year and whip up some more interest for you
