Roadster History Europe/APAC

[TEG]

Nope, sorry. Was really glad that someone posted the book on it, but I don't know where it ended up. Assuming "private collection."

@TEG, do you know if one of the US final five or EU final four is for sale?

 

[TEG]

Sorry, don't know about that either. One of the North American "Final 5" was recently sold (went from California to Texas), but otherwise, I am not aware of any of them for sale.

By the way, I meant the car, not the book !

To update this thread, it looks like the EU Final Four are produced a bit out of sequence.

SFZRE.......1000 is Final Four 1 of 4
SFZRE.......1010 is Final Four 2 of 4
SFZRE.......1011 is Final Four 3 of 4
SFZRE.......2500 is Final Four 4 of 4

 

[TEG]

^^^ Yes, that is what I had concluded as well. They basically added in the North American sequence to the gap before the final to show that ~2500 total roadsters were produced.

SFZRE.......1000 is Final Four 1 of 4
SFZRE.......1010 is Final Four 2 of 4
SFZRE.......1011 is Final Four 3 of 4

They switched to binary?

You must blink accordingly when sharing VINs

EU #247 - waiting to be re-animated

@warden_clyffe Nice! Where did you find #247? And battery still ok?

 

[marco2228]

just saw that Signature 100, #34 is missing in that list.
Its in Germany since 2013

The picture was taken during the EMC testing to test it against EU regulation and to finally get it approved as road legal..

The next VIN after mine, so I probably saw your car in some stage of completion at the Lotus factory when mine had just been completed.

Originally owned by Lionardo Dicaprio ?

It looks like it was missing the dash gauge cluster cover in your photo.

@TEG
Nice Odometer screenshot. That must have been 11 years ago

Yep, quite a bit or work went into this my Roadster.
The car hasn't been completely assembled when I had it tested for EMC.

Its complete since 5 years now
Only have a picture with the base rims, which were my winterwheels for two years. Now it has the original rims back on and is only being driven in summer.

Edit: Yep, originally was DiCaprio car as far as I know.

 

[TEG]

Congrats on making all the repairs and putting it back in service!

So, I understand that VIN -
SFZRE2 is UK built, LHD car for Europe.
SFZRE3 is RHD for UK
SFZRE4 is RHD Australia
SFZRE5 is RHD Japan
SFZRE8 is Hong Kong

Some SFZRE3s seem to have been sent to Australia / New Zealand Do we know if any went to Japan? It seems a bit random. I am thinking of importing a RHD back to UK and would like to find one that is UK spec with foglights etc.

 

[TEG]

^^^ No, I don't think so... But I think some SFZRE3... ended up in Hong Kong...
