I have just heard back from the local Club Lotus rep who was hoping to arrange this visit. It appears that there would be a £45 per head charge for the tour. Having spoken to John, we have decided not to pursue this 'raid'.

However, if anyone is interested, there are a few places left on a tour on the 21st April with the Norfolk and Suffolk Lotus clubs. I have contact details to book this. Anyone wishing to tag along on this visit , mail me though my profile and I will send you back the details I have.

Our first 'raid' of this year will be a return visit to Mosler at East Dereham on 29th April. I will starting another thread regarding this in a couple of weeks time.

Thats a shame....you'd think a car company would have enough money, not to charge people to look in their factory

shoot

As for Mosler visit....put me down as a "preliminary yes"....depends if I can get a cancellation, as I've just had confirmation of my driving test.....5th of MAY!!!! mad

At £45 a head, I shan't be tagging along either.

Looking forward to a return visit to Mosler though I think I might be able to get there without getting lost this time!

I toured the factory in 2000 and it was... free.



£45 to walk round a factory is bloody ridiculous.
