How many S1's?

[wacattack]

Just wondering, of hte reported 12k made, how many S1's are left on the road?

Does any website keep a record of this type of information?

nope ! ...but I guess if you could hack the DVLAs systems then you could run a query on their database...that would cover cars sold in the Uk anyway

No need to hack, they'll just leave the info on train at some point. . .

This is what Lotus told me Skyman.

"A common VIN serial number sequence was used for all Elise variants including 340R, but excluding Exige, from '96 to '99 model years, and ran from 0017 to 8200. For '99, the sequence was restarted, and ran from 0001 to 2258. Approx. 38 series 1 Elise were also built in 2001.

From this data you may do your own sums. It`s the last 4 numbers of your VIN number."

HTH,

Mark

Oh dear, what happened there?

[luckylambretta]

some numpty turned right into my path, plowed into them approx 55mph, police didnt even prosecute, gave them the option of a driver awareness course, at least they admitted full liability, it happened last july and i'm still waiting for payout!
