Was browsing Wikipedia the other day and came across this article that said 2800 Roadsters were sold. Is this correct (or close to being correct?)? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

The contract with Lotus was for 2,500 gliders but some of these were used for development, crash testing, or never sold. The best guess is around 2,450 made it to market.
The contract was originally for 2,000 gliders then increased to 2,500.
On the factory our yesterday I thought the guy said something like 2346. He gave an exact number and said he knew that because it was the last one. I may be remembering the number incorrectly.

Last North American roadster was VIN 1464
Not sure highest European VIN, but I know of a 799. (Different VIN sequence from North America.)
And there were ~27 Founders' series Roadsters
And there were ~33 VPs (Validation Prototypes).
And there were ~10 EPs (Engineering/Evaluation Prototypes) that weren't sold, so don't really count.
And there were a few "mules" that weren't really complete Roadsters.
They had the silver Roadster used in the first Iron Man movie. Also a clay model.
I meant to say in previous post that he bought the last one for himself.
Who was he in your last sentence?
I remember the Iron Man scene in the shop/garage when testing his invention got a little out of control. My recollection is the Roadster went unscathed but some of the other supercars were seriously toasted.

The tour guide for the factory tour said he bought the last Roadster for himself.
