I have VIN 2473, touring, base suspension
Indicated build date: Feb. 2005
Date arrived at dealer (Desert European in CA): April 8, 2005
Oil Coolers: 2

I communicated with a person on pursportscar.com that stated the following:
VIN 2704, touring, base suspension
Remembered build date: Jan. 2005 (he didn't go out to the car to check, so could be Feb. given how Lotus dates seem to slip)
Date arrived at dealer (East Coast): Early April
Oil Coolers: 2

The curious thing I found about comparing the two above was the large difference in VIN number for a similar build date. It sure seems like they may not be built in VIN order.
