I only mentioned Italy because the VDS says "IT VIN" which I assume means it was manufactured with intent to be delivered to Italy.

I think perhaps your Roadster was a demo/show car at first. Maybe this one seen at the 2011 Geneva motor show:

Looks similar spec, but my CoC is dated 14 Nov 2011 and the Geneva motor show was in March. The show car must have inspired the original owner to order

By the way, the carbon fibre on my hood panel, mirrors, charger cap and trunk lid is a wrap. Kinda funny that it’s painted carbon fibre wrapped to look like carbon fibre. The roll hoop and interior trim are actual exposed carbon fibre.

Was about to ask if that was the hardknott pass, then noted you had already mentioned it. Childhood memories of walking up this, as our mini 850 could do it, just not with passengers onboard.... Not Paddy Hopkirk spec!

The Hardknott Pass is a beast, but the Roadster (or any EV) just strolls up it. No need to worry about frying the clutch on the way up, or the brakes on the way down. I was once in a VW camper van that barely made it up, so the contrast was startling. And what a bonus in getting so much energy back into the battery on the descent ...

On linkedIn:

"An important piece of automotive history has been added to the Autoworld Museum Brussels by Athlon Belgium. Being one of the first lease companies to pioneer electric mobility we acquired a Tesla Roadster limited edition back in 2011 for our customers to get a taste of electric driving. Did you know that Tesla began production of this Roadster already in 2008, but it was not until 2010 that it was exported to Europe? One of the first 250 'Signature' versions of this special 2010 EU-limited edition is now on display at the Autoworld museum in Brussels. Do stop by to admire it!"

^^^ Thanks!
Was #699 in Russia before?

Does anyone know the split for sport vs non-sport for the EU signature 250 series? also, how many of these where fully optioned 2.0 cars? From @TEG list (incomplete) it looks like 40/60 split, roughly.

There are five VINs that evidently don't exist - 207, 208, 209, 211, and 244. It is expected that they were decommissioned.

Of the 245 EU Signature 250 Series -
129 were 2.0 Sport. 52 of these were fully optioned.
116 were 2.0 Base. 6 of these were fully optioned (every option except Sport).

Of this series, the most popular color was Arctic White. Similarly, this was also the most popular production color for all of EU/APAC Roadsters.

Side fact I found interesting - each one of the Signature 250 received Executive Interior - even those who chose Microfiber (the dash and door panels were covered in Executive Black, but the seats and door card inserts were Microfiber).

Wow, Thanks @DeedWest for sharing! I didn’t think to tag you on my op. Now you got me thinking. Any chance you have break down by colors? brilliant yellow, very orange, thunder gray, insane green...?

EU #080 was wrecked in 2012

Hi @DeedWest, I sent you those pics of #780 you asked for in your PM To me. Were you able to open them? Please let me know if you need me to resend them. Thanks
