Heritage Tour £69
The tour begins with a look around our history-charged manufacturing facility at Hethel, Norfolk. You will explore the epicenter of Lotus life, where our world class, high performance sports cars are all individually hand built.

No tour of our factory is ever the same. It gives you the opportunity to walk through the years that saw the company develop from a shed-based one-man operation into the automotive thoroughbred it is today.

The second part of your tour will take you across to Classic Team Lotus where you will get the opportunity to look around the historic workshops of one of the greatest Formula One teams. The Team Lotus mechanics that supported Champions such as Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell, Mario Andretti, Emerson Fittipaldi, Graham Hill and Jim Clark continue to care for the World Championship winning Lotus F1 cars that won 77 Grand Prix.
