Founded by Bill and Barbara Hutton in 1971, Club Elite North America existed for many years as a dues-based, paper-newsletter-based group of Elite owners and enhusiasts who held regular meetings around the USA. 

Formed over 25 years ago by Miles Wilkens, this active UK-based club "brings together owners and prospective owners not only to assist with the running of their cars but also for track days and other automobile related social occasions throughout the year."  Contact: http://www.lotuselite.org.uk/

LEADFOOTS (Lotus Elite Association of Drivers Owners Operators Tinkerers & Suchlike) was formed 15 years ago as an informal collection of like-minded souls who gathered to enjoy the food, wine and company and talk a great deal about a limited range of subjects.

In the early-1990's, Club Elite USA and Club Elite UK collaborated on a combined publications called the Club Elite International Newsletter.  In essence it was one annual issue of the Club Elite Newsletter with content from both clubs.  The main driver of the collaboration were Mike Ostrov (Club Elite USA) and Roy Yates (Club Elite UK).
