My R500 Team Lotus Special Edition - Certificate and Plaque

[nigelpugh7]

Guys,

Finally got around to taking the photos of the Special Edition Goodies that finally turned up in November.

As you can see they consist of the following.

Signed and Numbered Plaque for the Dashboard.

Framed Signed Certificate for the Wall, with another Plaque and Signed and Numbered

Special Edition Logos for the Bonnet ( unsure about mounting those at present!)

Factory Tour Certificate.

Team Lotus Book signed by Mike Gascoyne.

I have obviously removed the serial numbers etc.

Now just got to decide where to put them!!

Thanks Steve, I actually had the choice of almost anything in the range of 1 - 25 of the limited editions numbering, except 1 and 7 which were retained by CC themselves, the number 4 had already been assigned, so I just stuck with that .

Of course i shall also be waiting to see where the Caterham F1 team factory will be based in the new factory for 2012 before booking my Factory Tour.

Nice haul of goodies there.
Have recently seen somewhere that the new F1 factory will be the old Arrows facility.

Woody thanks for that , I just hope they help with the value when it is time to sell!

I had also been told that the factory will be moving to the Old Arrows facility, except Nick P told me that with the new announcements, it meant that the team and the new company had already effectively out grown that facility, so that they are already looking for somewhere else!

There could be a couple of good ideas lurking around!

How many of these were sold in the end? The fact you can pick numbers suggests you have one of very few?

Not sure, most that we're sold seemed to be for export.

I believe that less than 10,were sold for Europe , the rest were to export for the rest of the world .

Thanks, although as the Team are now known as Caterham F1, it seems my car and the others are so rare that they are almost extinct !

Perhaps it makes them even more unique!
