Scotland 2023 – Day 12

Last day on the island for now. We had a great breakfast at Old Thorn Barn. A pleasent surprise was to find an Emira parked outside. It turned out to be one of Lotus test drivers that just came back from a road test on the continent that had checked in at the B&B. It was great talking to him and get an inside view of the car.

Unfortunately cameras are strictly forbidden at the Lotus factory. Except in the exhibition area. So, no photos from the manufacturing or the parking with finished cars. But the factory tour was interesting. It was our third visit to the factory. This time it was buzzing with activity and we got to see some of the new equipment installed after Geely poured in £££. The Evija production is off limits. So, only the Emira production was shown. After the factory tour, we made a quick visit at Classic Team Lotus for some shopping. Followed by a lunch at Bird in hand in Wreningham.

We had an early dinner in Harwich since the food on the ferry tend to be less good.

Today we drove 110 km. Tomorrow we’ll wake up in Holland and head for Sweden.
