On October 14th the new Lotus factory at Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, was officially opened by the local member of Parliament in the presence of a vast crowd of Trade, Press, drivers and friends of Lotus. This splendid new factory has one large building devoted entirely to the production of Lotus Elite coupes, there being some eight cars on the assembly line moving forward at the rate of two or three per day. A similar building alongside the main one houses all the experimental, servicing, racing and production of sports Lotus cars. Having been working in cramped conditions for many years the Lotus concern now have more than enough space for all their activities and with this opening move forward from “Special Builders” to true “Motor Car Manufacturers” and the factory is a worthy addition to the British Motor Industry.
