at the factory - my pics on a Lotus open day.

Seems to have changed its name for this year, they seem to have dropped their 'performance name' used to post previous events on TLF. The guy who helped organise Hendy performance seems to have left at the end of last year. Have no idea if Lotus will be well represented by the one dealer that Hendy now have. Would hope to see Emeya for the first time - maybe??? https://hendymotorfest.co.uk quote : After three successful years of Hendy Performance Open Day, we are thrilled to announce its evolution into Hendy Motor Fest, a family friendly event at the famous Thruxton Race Circuit! Entertainment for the whole family is on the agenda, including exhilarating stunts from Paul Swift Stunts, a showcase of new cars and vans, performance vehicle displays and much more!

https://www.facebook.com/groups/643089849788221 is the group arranging meets at Trago. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=701840475251554 Next event is this Sunday, others scheduled each month. 10-4. £2.

Agree the giveaways being as you spotted. Think some of the auto listings that some dealers use comes up with the incorrect car details. Have seen several 'sports' advertised on AT that were not sports model. Certainly sports are worth a bit more than the non sports.

I have the first sign in my collection.....(saw one that someone had added Dogs and and then a mobile phone number.)

Is she going on this ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-68883711 More than 40 retro cars will drive around Devon across three days as part of a rally. People who own Nissan Figaros began their convoy on Tuesday in Dawlish. According to Figaro Owners Club, which set up the rally, only 20,000 of the cars were ever manufactured, in Japan in 1991. Dennis Case, who has travelled from Holland, said it is also about "the friendly people and the fun we have together". Across the three days, the group will visit a number of towns including Teignmouth, Paignton, Exmouth, and Tavistock.

Went in today, the last man standing at Lotus Exeter leaves this Friday. Showroom now empty, a couple of cars still in workshop. But notice on door gives details of where to go/who to contact in case of test drives/servicing etc. Not a great future for Lotus owners/prospective ones in the SW, particularly with some interesting new models due.

Based on the experience of owners of the MG4 electric car, I would steer clear for a while so they can clear up issues they are bound to have.

Tesla in the news again, more price cuts......this must put off even more people actually buying these or other EV's with their own money. https://cardealermagazine.co.uk/publish/tesla-slashes-prices-in-several-countries-in-move-which-could-impact-used-ev-market/300925 Tesla has slashed its prices in a number of major markets, in a move which could have a major knock-on effect on the value of used EVs. The Elon Musk-led outfit has reduced the price of its Model Y, Model X, Model S and Model 3 cars in various markets, following a slump in global sales. Prices have currently not dropped in the UK but should the outfit follow suit here, it could lead to a repeat of what we saw last year – when used EV values plummeted

The military grey GT430 auto back for sale at Hofmanns. on PH, £88950 https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/16578985 It's a nice colour.

Did see it, think it was parked near the BYD who had a new car on display. The yellow S4S is owned by James from South West Lotus, and has a loud exhaust! The red Evora is Ian's. Had an interesting chat with the Emira owner - who actually lives not far from me, and a lady from Australia who had raced at Mount Panorama and was keen on the Holden parked next to the Emira and had visited the Lotus factory and likes Lotus as well. The sheets in the windscreen are details about the gt430 car - not an advert for sale.

I spot an Olive green gt430. That one looks cleaner than mine. Was out in mine today at a ,meet at Greendale Farm Shop.

Looks like they had a good opening at the Brussels launch (lunch....) from FB. think they had a car to.

They look a bit squiggly as well but does not seem to match the amount of squiggliness.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-68818113 Tesla lays off more than 10% of its workforce. The company is set to report its quarterly earnings later this month but has already reported a decline in vehicle deliveries in the first quarter, its first in nearly four years and also below market expectations. Some analysts described the results as "tumultuous." Last month, Tesla reduced production at the Gigafactory in Shanghai and last week Tesla told employees who work on the Cybertruck that shifts will be shorter on the production line at the Austin. Tesla has begun to feel the impact of slowing demand for electric vehicles (EVs).

That's the orange one I found, now where is the blue one?

ok, missed the blue part and searched by model year - did not expect a choice of colours, but I found this one instead..... there are a few Evora 2014 parts listed by Silverlake in Southampton. Including a very expensive s/h brake pedal switch.

Does not look like glen, this appears to be in South Wales. There are a number of ebay adverts, not one for the whole car, eg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275831031416

https://cardealermagazine.co.uk/publish/gwm-ora-to-inspect-condition-of-ev-car-batteries-after-crashes-to-cut-waste/300514 GWM Ora to inspect condition of EV car batteries after crashes to cut waste. one part of the article says.. does not sound the greenest of current situations.... GWM Ora says it hopes the programme will cut down on the ‘unnecessary’ wastage of EV batteries after very minor accidents. Often these accidents just cause damage to the bodywork, leaving the car’s battery pack unharmed. However, sometimes battery packs are thrown away due to lack of technical information and perceived inability to repair batteries.

I wonder what part of the country he lives in, it would be interesting to get a pic of the 2 olive green cars together.
