Can anyone help me with some details on the Lotus Pipeline Report? I ordered a CO Exige S on 11/21 and the dealer showed me a Pipeline Report with the details of my car. I can figure out most of the info, but I’m not sure of a few details. The report shows the following:
AT PORT (Anyone know what this means?)
Chassis - X05428
Paint - L01 (Should be Chrome Orange)
Trim - TL1
Options - DL LM LS SS TK TP (I know most of these.)
St/Ssts - B B* (No idea…)
ETA Date - 04/23/07 (Looks like I have a few months to wait!)
If anyone knows the codes, please let me know!
THANKS!
Ben
Paint Code L01 always used to be British Racing Green…
but I suppose they could have changed it.
Ben, B25 is CO.
I thought at Port meant it had arrived in the US, but with that time it must be at the docks in the UK. I don’t know if your delivery is from the East or West coast. At worst it should take a month to deliver once it reaches US soil.
“At port” really means very little. As soon as the car is completed and ready to be released to the shipper, it’s considered “at port” (even if it hasn’t been released yet).
Mine still showed “at port” well after I’d taken delivery and we didn’t know it was Stateside until the truck driver called the dealer to say he was an hour and a half out.
Thanks for the info! I thought that “At Port” could mean anywhere between Lotus and the dealer. As for the color, the code may be for the pipeline report only. I saw the L01 code on two other cars that are CO.
I have been able to decode a few other colors
L06 = Chili Red
T05 = Starlight Black
T09 = Arctic Silver
T12 = Solar Yellow
T08 = Storm Titanium
T01 = Magnetic Blue
Here are my guesses at the option codes: (Not all are for my car.)
BW = Black Wheels
DL = Daytime Lamps? (All cars had this listed.)
HT = Hard Top
MT = Metallic Paint?
LM = Lifestyle Paint?
LS = Limited Slip
SS = Star Shield
TK = Track Pack
TP = Touring Pack
TC = Traction Control
I’m guessing at some of these. If you know what they are, or have a different guess, let me know.
