Congratulations. Wow, this is interesting. The COA says that it was produced the first of April. From the data this would suggest that about 250 cars were finished that day. Not sure if this is entirely accurate or not.
I would like to know the chassis and transmission numbers. The VIN extends the range by almost 100. That is quite the jump. Rather few and far between at the end. It really makes me wonder if the run was limited to 1000 units. It would almost seem that they were building to order /request. If these were "loss leaders' as has been suggested, then it would make sense to build them in a group. Building to order is less effiecient, thus more costly. From 15332 ( the first non-LE in the range) to this car I now have 15 cars that are non-LE's within the range. There is one other car, the Brazilian aubergine car, near the front of the range, but it is a ROW car not North American production. I expect they had to have some ROW production during the time frame. I doubt they could ignore other markets for two months just to focus on the LE. DaveP LE Historian |
