Hi All going on the view count 65 so far going to be a good turn out and the sun still out lots of lotus in the car park tonight. geek

The Type 72 that we're taking is the car that Emerson drove. So lots of history!

We always show that DVD at every show and people just love it.

Below is some information about the DVD.
A collector’s edition of this famous 1973 documentary, join Colin and the Team as they win seven Grand Prix

So if you still have not seen this dvd or your like to see this again come along next week meet.

**GrumpyBodger** · **GrumpyBodger** on Sat Mar 14, 2009 12:36 pm

Lotus early days & the Elite being developed. Would that be the Mk14 Elite?
If so, where can a copy of that DVD be sourced?
What is the name of that DVD/Video please?
Thanks
John

**TimS** · **TimS** on Mon Mar 16, 2009 6:14 pm

John, it was the new Elite, not the your beloved type 14. Never the less, it was a great DVD with some real 'classic' road tests and design detail, we all thoroughly enjoyed it. If you want to know more information about some rare motoring DVD's then Mike Stripe is a great source of knowledge (the83man) if you want to send him a PM.
Oh, by the way, Paul Matty has got a Type 14 racer up for sale. It's one I know quite well as it belongs to Christopher Ross (wrote a good book on the Elan and +2 amongst other things), A friend of mine - Richard Ball in Rugby did lots of seriously high quality work on it some years ago. It's a real stunner and up for sale at just a mere £55,000 Shocked

do you fancy a go at historic racing? Rolling Eyes

Cheers, Tim

**GrumpyBodger** · **GrumpyBodger** on Thu Mar 19, 2009 9:20 pm

Thanks a lot Tim,

I'll try & bend MIke's ear at Donington; he's sure to there, errm isn't he?
Now if I was still living in Henley in Arden I would have just popped over to Matty's.
Just imagine mixing it with Robin Longdon's DAD10 & that georgeous white one on Borrani's belonging to Malcomb Ricketts. Sad

Trouble is, I keep forgeting where I put things, now where is that cheque book?
Senior moments they call 'em. Embarassed

And another thing I forgot; did I ever say that you were a class wind up merchant Laughing

Cheers
John

Mk 14 Elite; the best looking road car that Lotus ever built!! That's not debatable
