That first photo with Gene is reportedly a dealer and his wife who were visiting on Holiday in NI. See this:

and FWIW, I'd wager that's not Mike Loasby - different bone structure in face. That photo is also in the same newsletter.

Also notice the preproduction gas tank with the "bubble" towards the front to increase fuel capacity. This was eliminated on production cars.

Is that an Alpine A310 with the boot/engine cover open in the background of that pic? One of the PRV test mules perhaps...

I stumbled upon this photo taken by a member of a Lotus forum. According to the source this was taken at Hethel in 1980.

Amazing find! What was the forum?
I love the SD1/Esprit lights in the rear fascia. Now I wonder what car the green one is? The plate on the back of it says "02" but it can't be D2 because that was a yellow car, and besides that the green one is the Giugiaro restyle, and D2 was the original Collins shape.

I found it on this forum: http://www.thelotusforums.com/forums...e-yours/page-2. Hopefully someone can spot this photo on here and maybe identify it. Who knows, maybe the folks over at that Lotus forum might have some more hidden treasures.
