I have heard from Paul Haussauer (one on Ron Hickman's development engineers at Cheshunt) - apparently he has been told that the Lotus building has now been demolished. I checked on the Monster Gym and that is still operating. Does anyone have any information on the Lotus building ?
Thanks, Maureen


Welcome back Maureen, hope you are well.

The 2nd page of this recent thread, May give some more info.

Yes that is/was the situation given to us when we visited mid-September, so everyone has until Summer of 2025 to visit.

Here are both of Spyderfan's cars out in front of the building:

Hi Richard

Thank you. I am well thank you and trust that you are. Thank you for the update. I have also heard from Adam, he phoned the Monster Gym and they assured him that their lease still has some years to run, and that everything is still standing.

I managed to get to England in July this year, after the long covid break, but not to Cheshunt. I shall be back next year, all being well, and maybe I will make it then.

So many memories there - it would make a wonderful Lotus Heritage Museum.

Take care, regards Maureen
