Very, very nice car that.

What would be cool would be a row of type 25’s, anybody else about with one?
Mines number 22/50.

Foggy (Simon) has one and he usually comes to LitP

Indeed i do, and hopefully it will be mended and pristine for this year. Mine is one of the few 111S T25's that were produced though. This is mine with her Le Mans Classic decals on.

This was my first ever LITP, which was the second ever event in 2013.

Looks lovely Simon.

I drove my mates BRG 111S again at the weekend. It's such an underrated engine the VVC. Makes for a wonderful Elise.

I love it that people keep coming back to the event year after year. Makes me feel all warm and gooey inside!

It is a great fun event though, even if I do say so myself

Looks great with the added livery.

Were the 111S’s numbered in the 50 or were they additional cars?

[Foggy]

After the 50 standard T25's they rolled out some 111S versions, apparently, but not yet confirmed, 25 UK cars and 3 for Australia and i have heard talk that some were destined for Japan, but never made it. They all have the heritage plate on the dash but were not individually numbered.

As long as I'm not giving you a fizzing feeling in your stalk, like James May.

 

That would be very wrong!!!

Would be great to get T25s together (though mine is one of the Toyota powered ones). Just booked for my first visit to LitP; can't wait!

That would be good, 1 of each of the factory versions, Sport, 111S & SC

Just to keep you all updated folks, as of last night we had 154 cars - all Lotus of course - booked on the event.  That's around 50 % higher than usual at this stage.  It's going to be mega!

[PJT]

Great news Dean.  Is that more that the grand total that attended last year?

I'm not sure Pete but it might be.  It's certainly a lot more than all the cars we had booked on before the day of the event last year. What we usually find is that we get a lot of bookings in the month running up to the event and  a good number that just turn up on the day and pay at the gate.

[Elisemadray]

Yes it is more than attended last year
