Car numbers by colour

Postby abmunro » Fri 22.09.2017, 18:09

Do we know how many of each colour were produced?

Red and BRG are the most common.

Cheers

Tony

Andy Graham from Lotus could probably tell you that, but I don't know whether that would be free of charge.
I don't know if we already know that info though.

We might start a poll since we must be more or less representative anyway ^^'

Lucky you Ron. I have one too. And there are also a few others on here with a Black Beast (Par, c3los etc.....)

It's one of the rarer colours and I read somewhere recently that only 13 were made in that colour. Can anyone else confirm ?

I heard it too recently - I have Kermit so that's another one - so that's nearly half of them we own between us ?!

I bet there's more! I was told there were only 16 Palacio, but I think the number now stands at 23. Not as rare as you think! :D

There is an S2 register page on Facebook set up by Frederik VC (I forget his LEC name), I don't know where he got the information.
I would like to get a certificate of provenance, it might say how many on that but I can't bring myself to pay so much for a piece of paper that might tell me little more than I already know!

Kathryn: if you like, when we hand over mudflaps, you can have a look at my C of P and then decide whether it's worth it for you. Mine says how many cars were produced in my colour and spec (as in my signature block)
