Lotusespritworlddotcom Displays a Factory Excel Spreadsheet of
figures for Esprit Production from 1976 to production end. This is
the same file one could find in the factory, used to keep a record
of production numbers. It's not perfect, as it doesn't give figures
for every different model, but does give a yearly figure for most
of the different engine types. You'll see what I mean as you read
on. These figures are the closest you'll get to finding out the
official numbers of Esprits made. At the end of production in
February 2004, Lotus had made only 10,675 Esprits over a 28 year
period with an average of only 381 Esprits made each year.
Remember, that figures for the whole world, with Esprits being
shipped from Norfolk to Europe and America. Only when you start
looking at the production figure to you real see just how rare
Esprits are. Consider that the most made in one year is 1058 in
1988. Which is low, but considering over the rest of the 26 years,
yearly figure only topped 500 on 5 occasions and with these numbers
spread across the world, I'm surprised anyone's ever seen one!
10,675 Esprits that have been made in total, we would have lost
quite a few from crashes, engine fires and generally wear. I guess
there are only around 9,000 Esprits in the World. A truly rare
automobile. Production of the Esprit finally finished on 20th
February 2004 when the last car was past from Production to Sales.
1998 Shows a TOTAL OF 301 ESPRITS WITH ONLY A MERE 142 V8s.. IF
