Where they now? The first 100 Roadsters

[tdelta1000]

Well, if you count the Founders' too, then you might want to talk "First 127" since we have 27 Founders' and 100 Sig 100s.
Do you count the VPs too? (Some of them were eventually sold to customers.) And the EPs? (I don't think any of those are in private hands, and many have been decomissioned.)

I was originally considering the first 100 production models but all the EPs,VPs and Sigs are welcomed. If anyone has information on the VPs, EPs and Sigs as well as the first 100 production Roadsters please post.

P.S. If someone could change the title to "Where are they now?... The first 127". thanks

Well if you want to count EPs, VPs, Founders', and Sig 100s, then it is more like "first 168".
I think in 2006 they may have made 10 EPs.
I think in 2007 they may have made 14 VPs.
I think in 2008 they may have made 17 VPs, 27 Founders' and 100 signature models. (Plus around 400 more regular production models.)
Some of the EPs were likely crash tested.
I don't think any EPs were ever sold - some were probably decomissioned, used as museum pieces, and perhaps still a couple used for ongoing engineering experiments.
Many of the VPs bounced around the globe for shows, test rides, press events and such. A few ended up eventually being sold to private owners. I think most ended up in England or California.
I think all the Founders' cars are in the USA, nearly all still on the road. Once and a while you see a Founders' come up for sale.
Most of them are probably in California, with the occasional sighting in Illinois, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, ...
Most of this info I have collected from these sources:
#1: eBay and Craigslist auctions.
#2: Carfax used car listings.
#3: Flickr images that included a location.
#4: Comments posted on this forum.

By the way, for what it is worth, I have no intention of trying to keep track of Model S production.
I spent way too much time already, trying, out of curiousity, to see how much I could learn about Roadsters.

I drive VP27 every day. Closing in on 40,000 miles on the odometer.

And VP27 spent time touring Europe before it made its' way to you.

In Monaco when it had black stripes:

I'd seen pictures of it in Europe before, but I never saw it with stripes! Thanks for sharing!

Anyone know the designation of the one kept on display at the Lotus factory? VP6?
