Looking for information on an "old" (or not) lotus garage
Dear all
I'm French, owner of a 1600k caterham for over 10years.
I just bought a 90's lotus sign/embel. The seller told me that it cames from a lotus garage in Gand St Martens Latem precisely.
Is someone know something about this garage ? I'm looking for some picture of it with the sign of course.
Many thanks for your support
I have written in English in order to be understandable to the everybody but of course you can answer in French.

Could this be "ALVAN Motors" ?
he was located in Drongen.
I still have regularly contact with the ex-owner Alain Van Driessche.

The first Belgian Lotus importateur/garage was (Firmin) "Ets Dauwe" located on the Kortrijkste Steenweg in Gent (Sint Denijs Westrem) and Sint Denijs Westrem is nearby Sint Martens Latem.

Well down Frederik
The previous owner of the sign gave me more informations. He tolds me that the garage went bankruptcy more than 25 years ago

twee foto's van de Lotus garage van Firmin Dauwe in St Denijs Wetrem Kortrijksesteenweg
heb nog wel meer van Firmin Dauwe, zal dat hier nog wel eens plaatsen als ik wat meer tijd heb
kocht daar toen in 1974 mijn eerste Lotus Europa Special

Great ! Many thanks
But my sign doesn't appear probably due to the fact it's a bit younger than the pictures showed.
Thanks again

No writings on it so it's hard to aged it.
It's a lighting sign with fluo lamp inside (this system appeared mid 70's)
It's in plastic
Edit : I guess it's beginning of 90's due to color of the green more dark than before
