Fantastic day today, the boys absolutely loved it and so did the missus.... which of course means so did I ?

Great to be welcomed to the TLF stand, thanks for the water and Lotus biscuits too - well done to all involved ???

Thanks for everything Bibs - you're a gent.

Some pics from today, Bibs we all had a great time and a special thanks to @Bazza 907 for the Service Notes and the model which was completely unexpected thank you. Also to Mark at Marells for getting the scratches out of the bonnet!!

Great day out! Good to see so many familiar faces and some new! Well done for organising Bibs!

[Malcolm Feth]

Great day, thanks Bibs! :*

I'm starting my work on photos from the event. A lot to do...

Had a great day. Stunning weather, seemed like a good turn out, some really stunning cars on show. Incredible to think they all left the factory gates at Hethel. Not an SUV in sight! Long may that last!

Who's Copper G Turbo was OPW 678Y?

[Final Edition]

Great to see the TLF crowd yesterday, thanks for organising @Bibs!

[MPx]

Great Day much enjoyed.  Sorry we didn't get to catch up properly Bibs ... you were obviously very busy! ... but thanks again for getting the day sorted and working wonders on the weather.

Brilliant display of LCs

Brilliant Display of SLs

Brilliant display of 7s

....and many others incl the best in show contender:

Although I did notice the cat paw-prints all up the back and across the roof before the polish was applied.  Kept at Aimees cattery?

It was perfect weather for Imperial Green, the Carltons looked amazing, great to see them all together.

What gorgeous weather it was, tipping it down today, I think we all caught a lucky break there.

The black one got me on the podium twice. The white one got me home. Human League Dare (1981) on the Panasonic Cockpit. As the sun went down, the lights popped up. Didn't miss a beat in a 5 hour round trip. They both received much patting.

Have to say, @Final Edition they're both looking showroom fresh in your pic. Sorry I didn't get to talk to you for long, the racing schedule was keeping me pretty busy.

So many cars in lovely condition this year, it was great to see. Some, genuinely better than new.

@Bibs your car was one of the stars of the show. Hearing it drive away that evening was something of a highlight too, sounds fffing good. There's Bibs turning left out of the main entrance in a Motorsport Green Evora, the colour looking all kinds of wonderful, the V6 rasping away in the fading light. I'm turning right in an '81 Turbo and head North with a cammy gurgle. I couldn't help but smile. Seemed like a fitting finale to a great day.

Great pictures, keep them coming.

looked,like a great day, I WILL be there next year

[Vipers]

Just wanted to send out a big thank you to @Bibs and the crew for another awesome festival, beautiful weather and cars, just doesn't get any better, most definitely the best car event of the year.

Well done everyone involved 

[Malcolm Feth]

Few more from my side. The rest you will see when Bibs post them on TLF

Did anyone see a yellow LHD Ferrari 308GTB there?  If so I'm sorry, my mate Phil turned up in it.  I've told him he was a dickhead.  Nothing worst than seeing a Ferrari at a Lotus meet!

[pete]

Was quite good to see as it looked so out of date amongst all the Loti

Love this photo!  Did some Photoshop on it:
