I just got off the phone with Steve Harris, where my order is. News is not very good. As of last Wednesday Lotus announced
350 cars to the USA between now and August. After that production should spool up to some higher but unmentioned number. Last Wednesday my order was taken and I was under the impression I might see a car in June or July from my position
as #28 (which improved to 25) Now I'm hearing sometime before the end of the year as an estimate. Tim at Steve Harris said he won't even have the complete first batch of ten cars by August. He is told they'll get 8 cars by August. He mentioned that he has an Esprit he's about to sell and that "might help" So without specific acknowledgement he did let on that alocation IS tied to Esprit sales.
