Although
severe storms were forecast, around fifty
club members defied the weather and set out
for the annual Lotus drive-in at Oakley Hall
Park in North Hampshire. They were rewarded
with blue skies and a generally sunny day.
An amazing variety of Lotus cars were
present as well as a few from other
manufacturers, including an immaculate GT40.
A gourmet lunch was served in the Garden
Room followed by coffee in the Library - all
very refined!
During the afternoon two
competitions were held. Mike Waller (Lotus
23) and Ian Hawthorne (JPS Europa) were the
winners of “The Car That I Would Most Like
to Take Home” prizes, which were donated by
Alan Morgan, Chairman of Club Lotus.
The
second event was for the Autoglym Shield,
judged by Paul Caller and his team. After
much deliberation Edward Stephens’ Lotus
Eleven Le Mans was declared the
well-deserved winner. Paul also gave an
Autoglym pack to every entrant.
The day finished in the now-traditional
manner by a Lotus cavalcade through the
private estate roads where rabbits, pigeons,
pheasants and hares all made their annual
dives for cover as the cars passed through
their normally tranquil habitat.
