How many Sports Racers were made?

[mik]

Interested as it took a while for me to find one in my desired spec.

I've seen this thread which lists some overall Evora build numbers, but I've not seen any stats specific to the Sports Racer?

Looking on HowManyLeft suggests the following numbers. (Although anyone that has ever had to send their V5 back for correction will appreciate that this data isn't 100% accurate).

Normally Aspirated = 21 (there were 22 at one point, so at least one has presumably been written off).

Supercharged = 56

Supercharged with IPS 'box = 19

Total = 96

(These numbers include SORN cars).

Does anyone have any actual build numbers from Lotus?

I have a certificate of provenance from Hethel. States the following on the accompanying letter:

My car (Sport Racer S) is 33rd out of 101 cars (sports racers, all variants), and 17th out of 53 Evora S Sports Racer Models.

Blimey that's a lot fewer than I thought!

Thanks Miguel - very interesting. 

Based on the HowManyLeft numbers I assume the "53" quoted is the number of manual cars, and doesn't include IPS varients (?)

Nah, that's just because they're all such good cars once you buy one you don't want to sell it again...

I asked Lotus how many Evora S1s were made in total - "around 2000" was the answer I was given.

I didn't realise there were so few S sports racers with the IPS box are those figures UK only or world wide Michael?
