Seeing "Lotus of North Jersey" in the CoP above brings back some memories. I went to HS in Summit in the 90s and passed that dealer most days on the way to school. Not sure if still exists like this, but back then, the Lotus dealer was shared with a Lincoln dealer. Every so often, I'd stop by there and ogle the handful of V8 Esprits on the lot. I actually did this before I could drive with my dad and older with a friend when I could drive. I distinctly remember visiting the dealer on one Sunday and finding one of the Esprits to be unlocked. I really enjoyed crawling around the inside of that car.

I also ordered my CoP from TLFs and got in like 5-6 weeks. Does anyone not have a 1:1 build? Seems like with how rare these cars are (particularly the GTs), it's pretty easy to have the only version of a car---even a standard metallic gray car like mine. OTOH, I knew of 3 other meteor gray 997 turbos in/near my town when I owned that car. There had to be a dozen or two of those that were identically equipped to mine in the US.

Thanks! Ordered by COP today.

Received notice as of June 11 that my order shipped, making it a 20 day TAT from order to shipping. Will update this thread with the data once in hand.

Here we go! For those interested, the total end-to-end from ordering to delivery was 30 days.

The prior owner wrapped the car, which I haven't removed yet. Based on the unwrapped paint in the door jams and trunk, I thought the original color was Carbon Grey, but apparently it's Graphite Grey. Also I had no idea that I had power folding mirrors - I never tried them.

All I know is mine was #18 made for the US I got the certificate back in 2016
