• Photography competition in conjunction with Lotus and the
Eastern Daily Press, starts on 22 August 2015
• Winning photographs will best represent Norfolk
• Winners will win a day at the Lotus Driving Academy at Hethel
Lotus is giving readers of the Eastern Daily Press an opportunity to win a day at the Lotus Driving
Academy by submitting a photograph of a location that best represents Norfolk and could be
used as a backdrop for Lotus cars promotional pictures in the future.
Jean-Marc Gales, Chief Executive Officer, Group Lotus plc, said, “Lotus is globally recognised as
being one of Norfolk’s most famous and high profile companies and we want to continue to build
upon this connection. The picturesque village of Heydon was chosen as the location for the
photoshoot of the new Lotus Evora 400 and these pictures have already been used extensively
as part of our new global marketing strategy promoting not only Lotus but Norfolk around the
world.”
Jean-Marc Gales continues, “No-one knows Norfolk better than those who live in this fine county;
so we would like readers of the Eastern Daily Press to come up with other Norfolk locations that
we could use which will further strengthen the link between Lotus and Norfolk.”
Winning entrants will also have their photograph published in the Eastern Daily Press and on the
Lotus Cars website and selected social media channels.
The three best photographs will be selected and the winners will each receive a ‘Lotus Driving
Academy – Level 1 Day’ as a prize.
The county of Norfolk and Lotus have been linked for nearly 50 years since the founder of Lotus,
Colin Chapman moved the factory from the outskirts of London to Hethel, near Wymondham in
1966.
Lotus employs 1060 staff with the majority being at its Hethel HQ and has recruited 140 new staff
since May 2014 and is on track to employ 1222 by the end of the year, including 25 Apprentices
and 11 Graduates. Over the last 15 months, Lotus has increased its number of dealers worldwide
from 138 to 193.

Handbrake covers....whats yours look like?
Ok, so my 2006 S2 has no handbrake cover. Looks like that's how most come out of the factory. Gear shift has the standard perforated leather. Im looking at the option of getting a HB cover, preferably to match the gear leaver cover, looking to keep it as OEM as possible. What have other owners done with their handbrakes? Aftermarket to match? Or a set to swap out for a new look? Nearly all I have seen go over the top and outside. Any neat ones that tuck inside the HB slot? Show u
Bilstein Repair Service
Hi A couple of weeks ago my 2008 Elise failed its MOT due to leaking rear Bilstein dampers. A look on elise parts and they were £330 incl Vat each without the springs, so I decided to look at my options and found out that Bilstein offer a rebuild service. Dropped them of at their service centre in Leicester last Monday, picked them up yesterday. £140 incl vat per damper for new seals, pistons, gas and oil plus a degrease so less than half the cost of new ones. Very good
S1 Type 49 Elise Refresh
And so the winter refresh of my S1 Elise started today. Hoping to take front clam of tomorrow. However of the 4 lower bolts that hold the lower rear to the chassis, 2 are spinning and 2 won't budge despite copious amounts of penetrative oil over the last few months. The Eagle eyed will spot my Dremel tool which I'm not looking forward to using to remove 4 bolt heads that have limited access. Currently on my list are replacing the driving lights brackets, shot blast and paint the tow post, n
Tyre Quandry - New Elise
I went to see a ‘new’ Lotus today. It was bloody lovely. It’s a 15 plate so around 8-9 years old. Fitted to it were Yoko Advans AD07 front and rear. The front ones were 175/55R16 which you can’t get anymore (195/50R16 seems to be the option for fronts). Either way, by my man-maths, the tyres must be as old as the car. The date stamp on one of the fronts and one of the rears was 4814 so made end of Nov ‘14. The previous owner tracked it a lot so I’m assuming he used a 2nd set of wheels/tyres and
Lakes District
Guys, I am planning a break in the lakes district for a chill drive taking in the views. I am wondering if anyone has driven all the popular passes in an S2 Exige? Any I should skip for sure? Cheers
