NeilP 18 Report post Posted April 30 Hi, I prevoiusly owned a Turbo Esprit, E666 TAH, an early Stevens Turbo in Yellow, apparently one of the show cars from Camel Racing sponsorship, the last time I saw it was on Ebay 2-3 Yrs ago and Cat C. So having seen this come up for sale with reg E666 HSG, I was wondering was there anything special about E666, or just a Reg assigned to a couple of Lotus Esprit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/183201512274?clk_rvr_id=1515825706132&lgeo=1&vectorid=229508&testparam2=testvalue2_replaced&item=183201512274&testparam3=testvalue3&rmvSB=true Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stephenwhyte 1,077 Report post Posted April 30 Treble numbered numbers back then usually meant the car was a dealer demonstrator. Whether 666 was specific to Lotus only I couldn’t say but it would limit the number of cars registered as there are the area letters on the plate too.

nello 197 Report post Posted April 30 Its just random - A mate had a 666 plate on his Fiat Coupe. I did think I'd read once about DVLA not releasing any more 666 numbers but they probably saw the value in them. My Dad had a 999 on an old Wolseley - only wish he'd kept it for the plate.

skiing 41 Report post Posted May 3 I thought the same on the HT leads and also the cam cover paint... also the old fuel pipes which are always a bit worrying? Looks good in black though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
