Lotus Spares Day - Stoneleigh
Discussion
I am fairly new on here so I have no idea who is who or where they live!
I am in Leeds and just wondered if there is anyone fairly local to me who is looking for a ride to Stoneleigh a week on Sunday. If so, I have 3 spare seats (not in my Elise, I hasten to add!!!!). If anyone wants to join me please let me know.

There are plenty of Elise owners and enthusiasts in the area, most lurk at -

Thanks DunxS1 for your advice. I will follow this up.
Thanks Davy S2 for your views. Personally, I have attended autojumbles for years and have found hundreds of useful parts for restorations, and many bargains in new/old stock items. Each to his own, but I will keep an open mind about Stoneleigh until I have sampled it for myself!

Views such as those from S2 are unhelpful to all really. As most of us were taught from a young age if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all. Stoneleigh is rather useful for people with older Lotus cars who cannot simply book their new Exige or similar into a dealer to pay anything to get it fixed. At fairs like these one can get parts to keep their PAJ on the road.

Frankly I would rather stick pins in my eyes than make the track to Stonleigh to watch the weirdy beards rifle through a few tresstle tables of rusty cr@p
Well it made me laugh!I suppose it is an age thing. I am 55 and grew up when the original Elan was new, the Europa was one of the first mid engined road cars, the Lotus 7 Twin Cam was displayed at the 1969 Earls Court Motor Show, etc. My Elise is a third car, driven purely for pleasure, whilst I maintain a healthy interest in all things Lotus, new and old, as well as classic cars generally. If the right project comes along I will restore an Elan or Europa. Even if Stoneleigh holds nothing for the Elise, I will at least have an idea of what is around for the older cars. I will let you know what you missed on my return!
