Copied from Pistonheads forum:

Hello all,
As fellow members of pistonheads, you are invited to come and see the 2-Eleven in the flesh on Sunday 23rd September.

Group Lotus is celebrating 40 years of production at Hethel and having a party for real drivers. There will be a whole raft of things to do and see, without doubt its a day reserved for the enthusiast.

From F1 cars and faces to trackday activities, technical forums, factory tours, engineering displays, plus heaps more, it really will be something special.

For more information and to book your tickets please call Caroline Parker on 01953 608795 or email, cparker@lotuscars.co.uk

This has been in planning for a while on the Lotus Club International front.
Confirmed today.
Tickets are £30, kids under 15 free.
Lotus Sport will be active and will have, apparently, the GT3 and the Exige 265E on the go. Classic Team Lotus et al are due to be active as well.

Anyone going?
May I ask the EspritForum guys if we should team up?

As Caroline is a member on here perhaps she could post the details.

This is the info I got back:

Hi Steve,
The open day on the 23rd September is for Lotus enthusiasts/club members
only. It is in celebration of 40 years of production at Hethel.
We will be opening the factory for tours, there will be technical forums,
club displays, engineering displays, F1 cars and exhibition, a farmers
market and lots of other stuff. Lotus Sport will also have a display and
there will be lots of track activity. The 2:Eleven will be on display and
you will be able to view it.
Tickets are £30 each per person and are available by calling me on 01953
608795
Hope that helps,
Caroline

Hope to be going but I'm not very good at planning that far in advance

Traditionally I´ll be there. Maybe this time I´ll drive and won´t fly.

Well, the boss says we have to go - I'm going to see if I can pick up some tickets while I'm at the factory on Monday

I'll be there, too. But with a roundtrip ticket for 89 Euros with LH to Heathrow, we are not driving...

We stayed at the Premierlodge Norwick Showground.

Bog atandard lodge.

Wynmondham looked nice if you can find one there.
