Chip, I can assure you there are far more LC's still around than RS500s .

I can't remember the last time I saw an RS500 on the road other than at a show, but you at least occasionally see Lotus Carltons. This will aslo give you an indication of how many are left .

Is a nice site . We actually did a lot of installation work on the production line for the Omega's way back when .

My Dad actually witnessed the prototypes being scrapped with a JCB .
