Outside, you will find lots of owner's cars, mainly 60's Elans and later, but with the occasional Elite or Seven or whatever - loads of fellow enthusiasts to chat to, discuss problems with etc.

Inside the exhibition hall you will find stands for Lotus parts specialists, book/model sellers, clubs, dealers and a 'cars for sale' area for individually owned vehicles. There are usually a series technical lectures by specialists which you can attend - subjects obviously vary, but stuff like paintwork, buying guides to particular models, that sort of thing.

There is a good mix of stuff for the range of Lotus cars from the 60's Elan through to the Elise, but tends to be a bit thin on the 70's/80's wedge cars and Europa, but still worth a visit.

The doors to the exhibition hall open at 10 am, IIRC, but there will be a few owner's cars there earlier.

Last year a load of different people organised runs up to the show, a few hours checking out the cars in the car park and the sho itself and then a night out drinking in Loughborough, hopefully similar sort of thing this year
