Hello, I am trying to get to know the Esprit better and am gathering as much information as possible.

I did find out that from 1992 on the cabin space was improved. I did ina 1990 model 2 weeks ago and I did fit but the headroom was not great and it had the roof lining hanging on my head.

From which VIN number on is the cabin space better/roomier? How can I recognize an Esprit in a advert with this improved cabin space?

Yes, but somewhere in 1992 it got a little bit roomier. More headroom, little bit more leg room. Seating lowered. I've seen pictures of the jhigh wing version with no glas back. I think this was only with the high wing. I've seen pictures of SE's of 1994/1995 with a smaller rear spoiler and stil a glas back.

It surely must be documented from which month or VIN this improvement was made. Every inch helps. When I read about the Esprit models it is sad that SE's were produced up until 1992. How is it possible that I see 1994/1995 SE's in the adverts? When I read the info on lotusespritworld, my conclusion would be that only Sport 300 and S4 (S) were produced after 1992.

A SE with this improved cabis space would be of interest and therefore an easy way to regognise such a car in an advert. Also, until what year the SE was producd?
