Might as well have the whole VIN.
I didn't say that you shouldn't have the entire VIN, I said that there is no information about options or manufacturer date (yes, the year is in there). Other cars often have information about engine size, type of transmission, etc. but the Lotus does not have that information encoded into the VIN. There isn't much information in the VIN:
