Really? So what about numbers 1 through 24? I believe they were all 
pilot production cars.

Tony's proto #1 is one of the Bill Collins cars but apart from outward 
appearance, was a completely different car to the Lotus engineered 
vehicle of which Alistair's Pilot 25 is an early production car - 
whether meant for sale or not is a moot point, IMO.

On the subject of Tony's car, didn't the first Bill Collins car have 
"DSV" on the front grille - for DeLorean Safety Vehicle? Vague 
recollection somewhere...

And just to really mess this thinking up - what about the Lotus test mules?
