TLF at the Classic Car Show

[Laura]

The Classic Motor Show at the NEC Birmingham is fast approaching us again and TLF have been given a sizeable stand this year, we hope to have 6 - 8 cars on display.

As we've had a very patriotic year with the Queen's jubilee and London 2012 Olympics we've decided to show off the best of British cars at this years show so we are looking for some red, white and blue classic Lotuses to show off.

So, if you have a classic Lotus that is:

1. available to show on the 16th, 17th & 18th of November (it would need to be there from midday on Thursday 15th and can not be moved until the evening of the 18th).

2. Red, white or Blue

&

3. Will stand up to the scrutiny of thousands of admiring eyes

Please let us know, you will of course be provided with passes to enjoy the show as well.

If anyone else doesn't have a suitable car but would still like to help out we will always need volunteers to man to the stand (which mainly involves standing around talking to visitors about Lotuses) and if anyone has any contacts that can help with exhibition equipment, transporting said equipment to & from the show etc we'd love to hear from you.

If its old enough & suitable you can have mine on display, its condition is pretty good

p.s. we are staying in hotel for the duration of show

[MPx]

Well Lionel has already had his three days of fame and its unlikely that you'll be short of white ones (!) but you can stick Lionel on the reserve list for the period if needed. With all the stuff going on here, I'm afraid I'll probably only be around for one day and keen to see the show even then.

Event of the year. End of..

Please, please, please do not hesitate, offer to help either with or without a car.

Staying over is not expensive. Its hard work and great fun during the day and the evenings offer an excellent chill-axe time with great company.

See you all there

[Laura]

Would you be able to bring one of your beauties Cliff (depending on which colour we're short of!)? As you're going to be there anyway at least it saves on parking!

[gghc87]

I would be delighted to help where I can. The white S4s is no problem but I can't guarantee the red HC will be back on the road by then. But if it looks possible I'll let you know.

Sorry, can't attend this year as I will be at the USA GP in Austin. Have fun!

You big show off!

I'd love to bring the S1 but it's really tatty and fails on Laura's criteria number 3. One day!...

[wookiecj]

You big show off!

Well, it would appear that after all of that "USA GP, I'm up for that!" gobshite of a couple of years ago I'm the only UK based forum member going to the event!

Please correct me if I'm wrong as I'll happily meet up with any of you there......

[arbell9]

Are there any particular days you need help? I am available on all those days so I would just need to book the dog in the kennels and an overnight accommodation?

I am overdue for an outing.

I'd love to go but I'll have to settle with just being jealous.

[Bibs]

I've just reread this thread about the GP there and the only person who mentions going is you - http://www.thelotusforums.com/forums/topic/43373-save-the-date/ - not sure who is spouting gobshite mate.

Anyway, back on topic... thanks.

[Laura]

Alex, Friday would be good. Whilst it isn't a busy show day it's the day we have the least amount of volunteers.

[arbell9]

OK, put me down for friday/sat with a stop over.

Hi...really looking forward to the show...after not being able to take my car to brands hatch because of gearbox problems I can't wait to take it for a run...I remember going to the show 2 years ago and it was to big to see all in one day...so I've booked a hotel close by for the whole show duration...if you need any help for set up of the stand I will be happy to help....thanks

[Laura]

No more volunteers to show their cars?

Surely we have more red white & blues out there? I can think of a couple of Essex lovelies that would be great additions to the stand for a start...?
