Has anyone used the webpage http://www.lotusproject.co.uk/lotus-esprit-s1-s2-history/ Used to have tons of pictures, owners and sales on most S1 and S2 Esprits, not sure if updated in last few years and domain has now run out. Shame as nice place for us early car owners to hang out. Have 465G UK pre prod S2, tuned by Blydenstein. Clive

Only had a scan through, but how many mistakes can you spot...... I'll start S2 galvanized chassis, mmmm don't think so, S2.2 maybe...... and change of chassis number...... yep S2.2 not S2

Sorry seem to have gone off topic Yes I would like to order an S2 model and yes 400G is the first "official" UK S2 :-)

Here's an example of an unsold S1 car converted to S2, but had heard it elsewhere before, somewhere...... VIN 7705 0243H You can search for it on here http://www.lotusproject.co.uk/ Clive

Hi Mine has August Chassis and Engine and came of the Line 5 Sept and sold and registered a week later. There is also the grey area of unsold S1's then converted to S2 spec....... who's going to buy the old car! Clive

Your VIN is 7807/0445G UK car 46th S2 Made during the 3 month ramp up to September release for the T registered cars Good luck! Earlier than mine I have 7808/0465G !! Clive

The S1 is easy to work out 100G to 381G UK 282 100H to 652H US 553 100J to 162J ROW 62 Total 897 But that includes S2 prototypes that were then sold as S2's and crash test cars. Now for the hard bit S2.... 400G to ??? UK 200J to ??? ROW and H & S & T for US... Lotus Habit for skipping VINs to make it look like they've built more cars....? I have 465G, 66th UK S2 built August. August they launched the S2 then had 2 week shutdown, ready for cars for reg 1st Sep with new T reg..... Clive

200J is the first ROW S2 13/6/78 400G is the first UK S2 June / July / August look like ramp up of S2 build, ready for September release. The S & T markets are USA and show the importer Rolls Royce.

Has anyone been to the Haynes museum and seen the Black one there, owned and raced by Gerry Marshall
