NEC Classic Motor Show 8th-10th Nov

[Kathryn]

My car will be on the Lotus Drivers Club stand, with at least one other M100, continuing the 30th Anniversary celebrations.

[Bern]

That's good news, the M100 has been missing at the NEC show every time I've been.

But sadly it's unlikely I'll be going this year. so still won't see one there!

Take plenty of pictures!

[Saltire]

I’ll provisionally be there on the Friday, so I may see you if you’re around.

See you tomorrow - arriving about 10:30

[Giniw]

Very nice! (you should have requested another carpet colour though! )

[Saltire]

Well, I was there. And I have to say that it was much better than the last time I went a couple of years ago. Three Lotus stands: Historic Lotus Register, Club Lotus and Lotus Drivers Club. AND I was able to buy a set of three hub pullers for £15 off the Sealey Tools stand. Result.

The only slight disappointment was that no one on the LDC stand knew anything about the two M100s on display (including Kathryn’s). They were Much more interested in discussingthe Elites, Eclats and other Winterbottom designs there present.

Maybe the LDC should have commissioned you to let all and sundry know the virtues of the M100 Jonathon

Incidentally, did you notice what the non standard OEM wheels were on the yellow one ? 17" ?? And the yellow calipers ? Hi Spec's ??

That’s a shame. I was about but didn’t get there til the afternoon, no need to go in early all 3 days. Chris the other M100 owner was about in the afternoon and at least one former owner. The cars were getting plenty of attention.

Was Tango Stevo there as well ?

I think they were 17s, but I’m afraid I looked at them, thought “don’t care for those at all”, and moved on.

Re brakes, I remember that one of the two M100s was HiSpec, and the other one was PNM, so if you know what Kathryn has, by a process of elimination that will tell you

Sorry I wasn’t more observant, Mark

Mine are PNM! Yes they are 17”. I think the owner Chris, is a member here.

I spent a bit more time on the stand today. Lots of visitors to the stand, many admiring the M100s.
