Since there are very few Le Mans Green VX220/Speedsters build I'd thought it would be fun to locate as many as possible. Seems as if there are only 29 ever made. I know that SteV6 has one, so then there are only 27 left to locate :) So if you are one of the lucky few, feel free to drop me a PM. :grouphug:

I've got one! I didn't realise they were that exclusive. I think the colour really suits the shape of the car! 26 to go....

If Lemans green is the BRG type colour, then there is a VXT for sale @ Christopher Neill (Lotus dealer in northwich)

The Turbo did for sure came in Le Mans Green, so that's most likely one.

Now I've gone through the VIN list found at the German Speedster club. Counted 16 Le Mans Green cars in that list. 13 to go then :P

Will have a go at locating these cars and then add a page to my site for the Le Mans Green community. Winter is a wonderful time, lots of rainy evenings to spend on this kind of urgent activities...

LeMans is a metallic green, BRG (which you have, don't you? :unsure: ) is flat

Le Mans Green has colour code 4FU and British Racing Green has 2LU. Hard to tell from a photo sometimes which is which.

Mine is LeMans Green. I posted up here asking if anyone knew about the car before I bought it and described it as BRG. Realized it wasn't when I saw it in the flesh!

Soon as I posted that I started doubting myself - was convinced you said previously it was BRG! Least I wasn't imagining things :D

Take a look at this and prepare to eat your words:

Been wanting to take some nice photos of mine but now I've got clam bubbles (and a chunk that fell out!) to sort out first :rolleyes:. It's a great colour, in certain light the depth of it is magic.
