Catalog of the 60 Isotope green Lotus "Chapman Edition"

[Sanguineous]

Saw on the original thread a discussion initiated by @GRP where he started a Catalog of every 1/60 Lotus Chapman Edition!

I found the idea cool and wanted to dedicate a Thread to this discussion.

How many of the 60 are EmiraForum members?

Here is the latest list (Last update 29 Nov. 2025):

VIN number (last 3 digits)	Where is it or Who own it?
498	For Sale in PA
499	Flipped on Cars & Bids (to Bankamule)
505	For Sale in Los Gatos CA
507	@GRP
508	For Sale at Galpin
516	For Sale in Hawaii
521	@DiGlorious
522	For Sale at Galpin
524	For Sale at Boardwalk

I saw one of these cars about 2 months ago driving through downtown Roanoke, Virginia. I have no idea whether it was an owner or possibly a manufacturer car. I was in my Emira going in the opposite direction and didn't get a chance to turn around and chase.

Let's not forget 499 that was flipped on Cars & Bids (this is the car that put the Chapman edition on my radar )

Looks like we have bracketed 52 of the VINs. Any chance these will be nice even numbers, like 490-550? Or is that too organized for Lotus to pull off? I'm genuinely curious to see how it goes if we fill out more of this register.

Where these 60 only made for the US market? I love this color

Hi @jfurby37
You are now on the list!

Not yet, no official source has given us the exact number interval.

Not sure what you are trying to say?
My translator doesn't help much either.

 

[JD MR]

不确定你想说什么？
我的翻译也没什么用。

我的VIN的尾数是452。

Hi JD MR, I just want to make sure that you have a EMIRA V6 Chapman edition 1/60. Because since there are only 60 models of that car, and the VINs are following eachothers, then VIN 452 should not logically speaking be a chapman edition. The lowest VINs it should go is 550-60=490 (highest know VIN-60).

Feel free to send a pic of your car to help us validate the Chapman edition!
Here is a link to a Chapman Edition for sale so you can compare with yours.
