Final edition registry..:

[390ja]

Wondering if this could be a thing in here as most have received theirs, or will be very soon.

Would it be a security risk to post the serial number of the cars for the records?..

[CocoPops]

Probably something @Bibs could sort? Final Editon registry for all cars?

390, 410,420,250,240

Good idea. We could hide full serial numbers from the public, if risky.

I can start a publicly editable spreadsheet on Google Drive if it'll help?

Not sure if there's anything nefarious that someone could do with a VIN number to be honest so can't see the harm in listing them unless anyone knows different. 

[CocoPops]

I guess, things to log...
Country (UK, France, Australia, etc)
Car (Elise, Exige)
Model (Cup 250, Sport 240, Sport 390, Sport 410, Cup 430 etc)
Ext Colour (Isotope Green, Azure Blue, etc)
Int Colour (Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Black etc)
Options?
VIN?

What else would we want to log?

That would be great, thanks. 
interesting to figure out final numbers and chassis number range etc 👍

I’ve tried to put my details in but i seem to be struggling on the iPhone app to do line breaks without entering a new cell 🤦‍♂️

Information I have received from Andy Graham is that the last UK build 420 Sport Final Edition came off the production line on 29th October 2021.  This was in Pearl Yellow, black matt delete (except the rear transom panel and headlights) with exterior accents including the carbon roof. This was the 5th from last 420, the remaining 4 being exported to UAE and New Zealand. There were only 34 UK 420s.

Interesting !
Do you perhaps have same info for Cup 430 Final Edition ?
Thank you 👍

[CocoPops]

I've got a Certificate of Provenance, through @Bibs, due soon that will hopefully give the info for Cup250s. It's always really interesting in and a worthwhile reason to sign up to TLF as a gold member (along with the ProValet kit, also due soon hopefully).

Sorry, that's all I have.  I know that Lotus kept the very last 430 FE for themselves and I believe Bell & Covill had the second to last in Monaco White, Tartan Trim as a nod to the S1 Esprit which is now sold.

I’ve just received my cert of provenance. 
my car was 12 of only 28 cars in the uk.  If there’s a similar amount of 430s then final editions are very rare but then I guess they are anyway. 

[CocoPops]

There’s about 350584 Cup250s

Only so many men are tough enough for an exige 😏💪👊🤣🤣

Lovely colour.  But then I would say that.  My 70s Elan +2.
