To the Esprit Community...

I've just finished running a public records search for all valid Esprit VIN numbers in the "Final Edition" range, and well beyond, just to make sure, and have developed a database for 2003-2004 Esprits imported to or through the USA. This database is only as good as the records it was drawn from and likely has errors and omissions. That said...

Found were thirty-three 2003.5 "Final Editions" and thirty-eight 2004 "Final Editions" for a total of 71 "Final Edition" Esprits. The first was series number (year 2003) 10543 imported to the USA on 7/3/2003. Which Esprit is the last is more complicated. The official last "Final Edition" Esprit is series number (year 2004) 10621 imported to the USA on 3/25/2004. But the last new "Final Edition" Esprit actually imported to the USA was series number (2003)10545 on 5/15/2004. This latter car completed assembly some time after January 2004 despite having a 2003 model designator.

Also found were 55 regular 2003 Esprits, beginning with series number 10459 and ending with 10580.

Comments, correction and new information are welcome. No rocks, please!

Anyone who would like to contribute to this database or would like to know the order their "Final Edition" was in, in import date or VIN series, just drop me a note at jbrookstone@adelphia.net.
