The AC Delete is a dealer option, that's why they charge extra, but who knows if they will offer that in the future, the vin definetly has that potential.

Also as it stands right now, the serial number is shared between the elise and exige for us or non us cars, that will apply to all of the variations so you can't have the same serial number on two cars.

Quote:
2005 M.Y. Elise for North America: May 2004
VIN character 10 = 5; Character 12 = L; Serial number from 0001
Note that the serial number sequence is shared with other Elise variants when '05 M.Y. is adopted for
those models later in the year.
If they did make them in Shah Alam that might change because their production will go over 10,000 a year and they wont have enough digits.

But why worry about what may or may not happen? they might change the lump and and we will loose the P on the 4th digit. They might move the HQ to malasial then we will loose the SCC (not sure what is britain and what is lotus out of those 3).
