I have to say it wasn't a well publicised event, so only members of the Lotus clubs seemed to attend, as well as locals, but that meant we were able to get right up to the cars. All together, a very sociable and informal event for all the family.
Cars included 2 Classic Team Lotus 25s, a 23 with a twin-cam (which I think the tanoy said was Jim's '63 Nurburgring car and the prototype 23b), his red S1 Elan, his '65 Lotus Cortina (race car) which was running a fuel Injected BRM Lotus Twin-cam - and sounded glorious until it ran out of fuel on it's 3rd or 4th run. top marks to the police man who pushed it over the line!
There was also a Type 61 FF and various modern Lotuses about which I am afraid I know little to nothing.

Not sure how to get the video of the 25 sliding awfully close to a parked Exige off my phone. sadly I didn't quite catch the drivers expression, but "eyes like dinner plates" springs to mind!
