CARB states... where's our cars?

[2Lotus]

What's the series range (last four digits) of the VINs you guys have? My car is in the 1600s. I have a theory that the CARB state cars were actually produced later. All of the non-CARB state cars seem to have lower series numbers.

Why? This is two different topics? It's particular to CARB States... and not specific to shipping.

I think @4MIR3 is the odd one out then. It's looking likely that carb cars have higher production sequence numbers, probably with California the highest of all. I don't see anyone in the 1800s.

I wonder how many CARB cars there are... I am going to guess 400-500

Based on the latest arrivals, the Vins are now into the 2000s, most likely more FE2.0 cars for non-carb states. I have to say, I have had very little to complain about Lotus's logistics operations. Those guys seem to be on the ball. Or it could just be a great fright forwarder they are working with. Regardless, things seem to roll smoothly and quickly.

Which dealer? Did they specifically tell you that your car was still at Hethel? Or just an assumption?
