v8vantage Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Pretty sure the blue car, 0975, is the pre production S3 so a factory car. Probably why it got the number plate. 2 Quote Roo http://www.jpsesprit.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOTUSMAN33 Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Just seems amazing Lotus applied the bond car plate to one of their other cars when they retained and used the bond car for promotional work. When I did research on the M100 initial builds and development cars there were many instances where plates were used between cars. Recently talking to a chap called Ken who worked for Lotus in the development department during the Essex build he said the plates were switched between cars as only so many were registered and insured at the time. Still odd to see the bond car plate registered to a S3, I was at COYs Silverstone in July 98 when they sold the bond cars off to Peter Nelson, I don’t recall the mention of one being unregistered without logbook although I may have missed it. Mind there were lots of development cars sold off and that S3 may have been one of them. 1 Quote Do or do not, there is no try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frb Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 In Jeremy Walton´s first Esprit book from the early 1980s it is mentioned that the OPW 654W plate was used on Don McLauchlan´s company car (together with a red "burglar protected" triangular sticker ) and the OPW 678W plate was used on a "blue engineering S3" which very likely must be that car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
