Much-loved British car manufacturer Lotus has revealed major development plans ahead of this weekend's 70th birthday celebrations.
Work at the 100-acre site at Lotus' Hethel headquarters in Norfolk will include the building of a Heritage Centre and Museum (above), as well as a Customer Experience Centre, providing brand-new facilities as well as restoring ones of historic importance.
The buildings, designed by architects Feilden+Mawson, preview the marque's future at the former WW2 airbase which the company has called home for over 50 years.

The Heritage Centre and Museum will incorporate the site's original main office and executive suites in a renovation and conversion project that will bring Colin Chapman's office back to life.
A new restaurant will be established alongside this, with views over the gardens.
