Mloc Fund Raiser - Le Mans Or Broken

[Tango190]

Will the 1983 Lotus Eclat Excel make it to Le Mans there and back ?

 

Was going to go in the TVR, but ...

 

Who would sponsor me at 1p per mile to go there and back in the Eclat Excel I bought on Monday ?

 

Tamworth to Le Mans and back.

 

All sponsorship funds to go back to MLOC - Beefy could then create a new member category of "MLOC 2005 - Contrib members.

 

Continental Car Tours notified and say no prob with change of the vehicle.

 

TVR or LOTUS - MLOC members choice.

 

If I go in the TVR - no gain to MLOC - if I go in the Lotus Eclat Excel MLOC gets some pennies.

 

Anyone available to check the car over pre event - aka Elaine/Reg dad ?

 

Come on guys n gals , I will if you will.

I reckon that's a candidate for a new poll (or 2?).

 

Qn 1 - probably not, without help

Qn 2 - Lotus (or you'll be camping elsewhere at Houx Annexe !

 

 

Brave if you go for it. IIRC it was around 1000 miles last year ?

 

I'll start at 1p mile if you like, and a bonus of another £5 if you don't need a single roadside repair en-route !!!

Great Chris,

 

So,

 

1000 miles to cover there and back.

 

A simple service done by myself with advice before we go.

 

1p per mile so maximum sponsorship is a tenner £10

 

And if there are no roadside repairs (I will be honest) + £5

 

So I will service before we go, then no service there and back.

 

Can I exclude oil/water top ups ?

 

Not hoses blowing etc. just toppy uppies ?

[Martin R]

LOL, Im up for 1p per mile. Plus £5 if no breakdowns also £5 if kim or any other MLOC member does not have to push it between Tamworth and Le Mans

[malbon]

...go on then !

[Tango190]

...go on then !

Really Jon - I will do it, no external assistance (only verbals) once we leave Tamworth.

 

If Marks happy I will do this.

 

The point0being - 50th Lotus Anniversary at Le Mans - Genuine Chapman car etc etc

Road by the Train Station - no way - it (might) make it.

 

What a challenge

 

If it rains I think we might make Dover !

 

If it really rains we might make the end of the drive.

 

Come on Chaps

 

Our own Top Gear challenge for fun.

Great idea Bob, like your style.

 

Put me down for 1p a mile!

[Greg.g]

Ok bob, you can put us down for 1p a mile.

 

You could start a new charity for mloc ...... P.D.S.L

 

People's Dispensory for Sick Lotus

 

 

 

Great idea and good luck.

Great Chris,

Seems fair enough. We'll all probably be checking for top ups, so that's reasonable.

 

As the originator are you going to edit the first post with a ticker ?

£10 to a good cause, count me in.

[Zebedee79]

Put me down for £10 too, and really interested to have a look at the Excel, really quite like the styling.
