Donington Show - Pictures

[Trackside]

We went along to the show on Saturday and by God, was it cold! However, there was a superb turnout of Norfolk's finest to warm us up a bit. We went specifically to look at M100s and the display the LEC members put on in the car park was excellent; even colour-coded 'em too!




There were some gorgeous Esprits there too, especially a 350Sport which was stunning.



Very good show, interesting to see the Etna and the M200 concept cars inside the exhibition centre as well as Senna's Camel-sponsored F1 racer and a JPS-liveried 72.

Loads of pictures here! (Sorry for the M100 bias, there's other models as you scroll down!)

Some cracking pics there. Wish I'd been able to make it - looks like some gorgeous cars on show, even in the car park!

We stumbled on this event today when we were out for a drive in the MINIs. Some stunning cars there, especially the Elise race car and JPS racing car inside. The car park wasn't quite as well colour coded today, but the line up of Esprits of all ages was stunning.

Also spotted Splodge S4 - a PHer in a yellow Esprit - nice car mate

Seen pictures of the Etna before but seeing it in the flesh, well I thought it looked superb. It has such a well resolved shape that I couldn't help wondering how Lotus have managed to gradually lose the plot styling wise over the years and have ended up with that well known pig's ear, the new Europa.
