#003, #074, Active + at Milford Proving Grounds in 2008
I found these pictures today. This is more than likely the last official use of 89 #0074. These were taken August 13, 2008 at Milford Proving Grounds for media test drives of the "New" ZR1.
The following cars were displayed: 1989 #003 Media Pilot 1989 #074 Media ZR-1 that was painted purple by Cal Street Rods 1989 DR-1, Narrow boddied convertible with a BG installed LT5 1990 Active Suspension ZR-1 (Either EX5881 or EX5886) 1992 ZR-1 "First Built" 1G1YZ23J7N5800001 http://www.syreal.com/c4-zr1-1280-02_SM.jpg http://www.syreal.com/c4-zr1-1280-03_SM.jpg Less then 6 short months later 4 of the 5 Zs were sold at the 2009 Barret Jackson Scottsdale auction. Their careers over and on to private hands. |

Its great to have you back in the effort again. Talked to Geoff for awhile Tuesday and Wed. Learned the following. All the Phase 1 and 2 engines were cast and built in England and the Phase 2 motors were about 200k each. Youch.

Thanks Tyler. I wish I could be at BG this week, but I just couldn't squeeze it in this year.
I was reading the "Lotus Project Report, LT5 Engine" and by 1/88 they had only recieved one LT5 from MM. So Geoff is correct. I think that was #070 so any LT5 above #070 was probably a MM LT5. I know I read that in HOTB too. I will have to open that up and revist it for clarification. On a side note, as I am always learning, i just realized #074 was first sent to GM Service Development Center. It showed up there on 4/14/89 4 days after they cancelled the 89MY so they no longer needed it to develop the manuals and service techniques. Off to the PR pool it went. Eric |

Wasn't the DR-1 a wide body car?

There were at least two narrow bodied DR-1 convertibles. One was never converted to a widebody.
