Race programs and event guides are one of the best resources for any researcher working on motor racing history, and of course really cool to just sit and read!
The Lotus themed selection of this invaluable group of items that are held in Auto-Archives is larger than you might expect. The main archive currently has over 1,750 event programs and guides from the 1930s until the present day. The majority are from race meetings and shows in the UK, Europe and the USA, but it would be great to get some from the Far East and Australasia. Do you have any Lotus themed event programs you could donate?
