20 years ago today, Lotus marked the end of UK Esprit deliveries with an event at Ketteringham Hall that @Guy Munday was involved in organising. These weren't the very last UK deliveries (four more UK cars were reg in Apr 2003 and one in June 2003) but they were part of the batch of the 15 UK final cars recognised with a glovebox plaque (delivery info courtesy of Lucas Reynolds)

Happy days!

I've kept tabs on all of them over the years. Sadly, one of them was totally destroyed in a barn fire but the other five atre still alive and well - two of them are in Australia. One of them is still with its' original owner.

That’s my perfect house @Gareth44! A double garage for me, and somewhere for the missis to dwell upstairs. And in Wiltshire, lovely neck of the woods… 👍

It (the garage) was one of the non-negotiables, to house the 650bhp, unfortunately stables were too, for 2hp 😞 Wiltshire was where the prices began to get reasonable!
