Simply Lotus

[Speedy Emira]

Please correct if I am wrong but I cannot see a Simply Lotus event at Beaulieu Motor Museum on their calendar and assume they don’t have one.
I’ve been a few times with my Land Rover and organised a spot for the RS3 owners club on a few years at Simply Audi.
Would anyone be interested if I contacted them and could arrange it?
Also does anyone know of Lotus car meets in Hampshire?
Today I’m off to a cars and coffee meet with the local AMG club who are very friendly and happy to have an Emira turn up.

There's the Newlands corner Lotus meet once a month (I think it was last Sunday). Quite near Bell & Colvill.

Tomorrow there's a generic breakfast car 'PetrolHeads' meet at Runnymede, near Egham from 9am, till midday, I'm going, plus a Seneca Blue Emira and his mate in a GT3RS.

That’s good to know although tomorrow I’m stuck after committing to going to this meet.

I have just read that Beaulieu Motor Museum are having the Supercar event on 3/4 August this year and there will be a stand for the Lotus Drivers Club and Club Lotus.
I would like to join one so I’d be interested from anyone’s who is a member and lives in the South England.
Thanks for any replies.

Hi Jon
Thanks for replying. Which one do you think is more active in the South? I’m living not far from Southampton in Hampshire so looking to go to event but not so far that I’m clocking up tons of miles. A make has a Caterham and goes on events all over the country but has more time than me due to retiring early.
Will you be going to the Supercar event?

I will go to Beaulieu for sure if the weather is kind.
I'm a bit of a tart with the emira, I don't purposely use it in the wet.
I don't know anything about the Lotus Drivers Club I'm affraid.

Funnily enough, the car is currently just up the road from Beaulieu, at the trimmers.

Club Lotus tends to be for 70s and earlier, and is a bit more “old skool“. LDC seems to focus more on drive outs and for more modern Lotus. Check out their web sites.
