These were snapped in the summer of '78. Sorry about the quality, but scans of prints taken from 35mm slides looses a bit.
So, is your car there?
Here are the first 10 pics....

Great snaps, thanks for posting them Mark.
At the time I was unable to attend as I was posted to BAOR in the depths of north Germany.
Anyone else got photos from that day they can share? Do join in!

I was there somewhere ...lots of proper Lotus cars, but....
My most vivid memory of the day was a very scantily dressed girl polishing one of the Sevens somewhere in the area of picture 29
Back in those days I was 23 and my sap was rising
Wonderful nostalgic pictures, Thanks

Was there in a Ford Consul GT, iirc. I'd had enough of breakdowns in small plastic cars; for a while at least.
Thanks for showing your photos.

My friend and his wife, Carol and I were there in a borrowed merc'.. Mistake! We felt awfull to be one of the few to not have arrived in our cars. We were in the same Norwich Hotel as Graham Arnold and a load of other Lotus nuts...
The Navajo in marks pic' is the same as the one I posted a while back.. As a new Pilot I could not take my eyes off it.. Thought it was the muts nuts...
Flying and ticker problems don't mix. Ironically the last time I flew solo was back up alone from Norwich after dropping off another mate to pick up his newly repaired Esprit Turbo from the factory..
Happy days.. I miss it like mad. Can you tell?
Great pictures Mark. A big thanks for taking the time to show us them.. TA....
