So far info only in Dutch, but more info is soon to follow. Please keep November 8 free in your calender and watch this topic!

So you don't need google translate for this: Yes! The M200 will be on display! :bananasex:

There's always room at my home for 2 friendly LEC-ers in our tiny house downtown Delft, if they don't mind being woken up from our little boy occasionally :lol:
Elan parking on a closed parking included!

Hope this helps in decision making :-)

• There is coffee and soft drinks and at lunch time there will be sandwiches served.
• At this fair, car parts, accessories, books, magazines, clothing, merchandising and much more are for sale.
• Demonstrations are given by companies that have specialized products or services for Motorsport and engineering such as:
• TSL All Star oil & grease products Demonstrations and test of the Timken machine with samples from visitors to the fair from their own motor and transmission oil in the Lotus or other car. So please do bring your own samples of your favorite (new or used) oil to the fair. Then TSL demonstrates how the oil is improved after addition of TSL oil amplifier and explains what TSL can do for your engine, gearbox or any other application that needs lubrication.
• Motor CheckUp offers a simple chemical oil test that will reveal in what condition your engine is. Highly recommended by C & E turbochargers. So please bring a samples of your used motor and/or gearbox oil.

An M100 will be on the car lift in the workshop so you can finally see what’s below without assuming the Lotus position. Also there will be an (almost) brand new M100 engine with gearbox and driveshafts as a separate piece on display.
• Mike Kimberley, former CEO of Group Lotus at times when the Elan M100 was developed and built in the 90’s, intends to be present, provided he has recovered enough from his recent surgery.
• The unique Lotus M200 concept car will be on display in the showroom.
• To celebrate 25 years of M100 motoring, an anniversary Jacket and cap are available
• Off course the fantastic new showroom and workshop of ‘Van der kooi’ is open for public
• We count on a lot off M100's from our members and guests to show up this day!

If you want to attend the fair and bring your own goods for sale or display, that would be very much appreciated.
Tables and chairs for your display will be provided, please indicate your needs to Willem van der Meijden thru: evenementen monkeytail loutusclub dot nl before 2 November.

This event will be an interesting and chilling meeting place for Lotus owners and fans and certainly the M100 owners. We have several new candidates to show there special products in process like interior refurbishing, racing simulations for racers etc. Mike Kimberley told me that he is very much pleased by this program and the celebration of 25 years Lotus Elan M100. As you know he will be present if he has recovered enough to fly to Schiphol. I suggested him to become a LEC-member to react on all we are preparing and share our experiences with the M100. Tell your Lotus-friends to visit our Lotus Club Holland Winter fair on November 8th. There is a Van der Valk Hotel very close by if you are looking for a room.

Indeed HJ2 it is good to be back on my M100 home since 2006 I had no longer entrance to the LEC. The organisation of the Lotus Club Holland (LCH) Winter Fair is just the right way to be involved again. Did you know that I drive my Elan M100 this year already 10 years!? How can I insert here the banner image for the 25th anniversary Lotus Elan M100? The LEC system asks http//[img][img] so I can not brows in my documents

The M100 owners who took part in the 25th anniversary at Brands Hatch on August 16 and 17 might have been photographed by me. A photo book is made and about 7 copies are still available during the LCH Winter Fair in Holland on November 8. If you would like to view this photo book just click https://as.photoprintit.com/web/8510000 ... ionTimeout and you possible find your car in there. If you are interested just let me know by hlvangelder@kpnmail.nl. A copy cost only €.25 (discount price) and new copies will cost €.30 each.

Hi Geoff, great that you made an avatar of the M100 banner, I appreciate this very much and this way it pays extra attention to the Dutch M100 event on November 8. After the LCH Winterfair I will share all the photos that have been made and probably I will make a photo book of this event.

Visitors from abroad who are wanting a hotel close to Van der Kooi in Houten/Holland you can book at Van der Valk Hotel very close by the Lotus distributor. View http://www.hotelhouten.nl/nl/ for rooms and prices. I will try to make an arrangement for Lotus guests.

Ok, we (Lyn and I) are now looking at taking 'Merlot' on a road trip to Holland and celebrating the M100 25th anniversary.

Before I start booking hotel can Henri tell me if there is any offers on at Van der Valk Hotel Houten if this event
is referred to in the booking. I've looked at Hotels.nl and they are quoting 68 pounds per night.

We will get the Eurotunnel and drive up through Belgium into Holland. We are intending coming on Friday 7th and
returning Sunday 9th.
