Gold FFM EuropaSman Posted March 23 Gold FFM Report Share Posted March 23 Another possible LE, just been advertised in the forum's classified, but looks like it has now been sold by Guy Munday. He didn't advertise it as a Launch Edition though so could just be a NA with all three packs. Liquid blue/grey interior, reg. RX59AXY, so a car sold by Bell & Colvill. First registered 01/01/2010. 1 Quote Lover of everything Lotus Cars and proud owner of production Evora No.75 (2nd UK customer specced car by VIN). Originally from the Far East....of Anglia, I read black box data for a living so that could explain a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seb Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 (edited) Pleased to report as an owner of the Storm Titanium / Paprika owner of the "development" car originally designated with AU59DRV plate (LHD). The car has been imported to germany in 2012. Curious to know more about the development car, if there's any info on it! What does the "development" even mean in this context? 😃 the VIN ends with 1030 Edited April 9 by Seb Added VIN info 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil flash Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 It's the date of registration, not manufacture. Most delay to September to get the later Registration Age Identifier 59, rather than 09.

What does the "development" even mean in this context? 😃 the VIN ends with 1030 Seb, I think it was mistakenly listed as "development" due to its factory registration. The VIN puts it into regular series production; Lotus archives should be able to tell you what it was used for or who it was assigned to if it was a company car.

The first customer cars were on 59 plates from 1st September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted May 2 Report Share Posted May 2 Thanks for the answer! I believe you mean the "certificate of provenance" thingy with the Lotus Archive, correct? I'm slowly warming up to it, provided it could have some interesting info there 😅 I also found my car in few shots around the europe https://www.autogespot.com/spots?licenseplate=AU59DRV&brand=Lotus&type=Evora as well as this DailyMail article (near the bottom) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-1278353/Monaco-Grand-Prix-Heading-south-France-Lotus-Elise.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tris... https://www.instagram.com/p/CdlQ0nuIL9n/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Looks like this one is coming back on the market. Looks in good condition although no mats inside probably means they are drying after it's been cleaned. It'll be interesting to see what it gets listed for. Dealership doesn't seem to be a Lotus expert as I believe they might have got the engine size listed incorrectly until someone corrected them. I've done my pendant piece and informed them it's unlikely to be an S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
