Don't think this has been done before but wondering whether anyone has in period photos of Lotus dealerships. I think a few folk might appreciate seeing where their car came from. Quite a few will have been gobbled up by new developments by now too.
If you have any please post them up....
Personally I'd like to see Riverview Garage and The Ken Myers Partnership.

I was just given about 30 Motor magazines from 1970-75, full of ads from lotus dealers. Should I scan & post the ads?

Why not ??
Adding to this thread, has anyone any pictures of the Hammond & Oakwood dealers in Bromley, circa 1972 ?
Building doesn't seem to exist anymore, and I'd love to have seen what it was like back in the day.
Regards
Richard

If they've got images of the dealership on then post away. If they are generic adverts add them to Alan's adverts thread I'd suggest.

Bell & Colvill (I imagine this is a well known picture)
It's on their about page, but not very big (the above is a direct link to the JPEG).

P.S. My +2S was sold by Sports Tune in 1970 - when I got it (in 2013) it still had the dealer key fob and tax disc holder (with a tax disc from 1973/74)
Bugger all service history though...
