No its not mine!!!
Its at Adrian Blyths, 1500 miles and the last ever one off the production line with all supporting documents!
�24,995!
And remember Paul Matty still has that S1 for sale at �25,995!
Good value???
Only if you’re planning on putting it in a museum.
Turn a wheel and kiss goodbye to it’s value.

PMSL, but true!
Nice to know there’s a few people out there keeping some good examples nice in cast ours get binned.

sort of related…
I know a man with a 1989 Honda RC30. Mint example frame number 000000000000001 Cost �9k new when other 750’s were typically �3-4k
It’s easily worth �15k going up and getter ever more rare

Can you persuade him to ride it past your “nice neighbour’s” house at 6am on full throttle?
A 0 mile RC30 recently went for in the region of 30K recently.

Oh indeed - it’s part of every run out from now to infinity
Just wait while the sun starts coming out
and a 0k RC - wow - Crown Jewels!
My little NC30 of a similar age and appearance is worth about 2 baloons and a Lone Ranger mask!!!

Going off on a m/c tangent, three or four years ago a dealer local to me (D&K) had ‘several’ new OW01’s up for sale at around �6K. I’m still kicking myself for not buying one and sticking it away.

re you saying that the supporting documents declare it as the last ever one off the production line? Can you get the last three numbers of the VIN - it might be helpful in the debate regarding exactly how many were made.

What is the definition of “production line”? The process at Lotus used to be a little more organic than perhaps that at Ford, etc. What about if one was not finished last but ended up in the final QA zone needing some remedial work and then was last out of the door to the parking zone?
Also, some time after the main production run, I read that Lotus “found” a few more kits and so did a 2nd much smaller production run - 60 cars or less…or was it just a further 10?
Yes, but it’s always a good sales technique… “This is the last car…”
then… “No wait… THIS is the last car…”

It’ll all come down to chassis No. As you’ve already suggested, Lotus were never ones for accurate production records…

So come on guys…post those numbers…

not so sure about that Matey - perhaps you got it confused with build quality
I got the factory to send me the confirmation of when my Elan Sprint was built.
Came back with the build date supply to dealer date and the first owners name and address!
There was over a year gap between build and supply if I remember correctly
Blimey
I wonder if they can confirm how many they built though?
It’s certainly true that purchase date bears no relation to build date, especially with the S1 Exige
