Found a 58 plate on Autotrader that was manufactured on 10 July 2008 - VIN is LJ50671. It was registered 10/09/08.

Trade seller describes it as an SE, but it has got lovely 2-tone M-sport seats in black with red side bolsters and the leather dash - looks great! (Individual Bi-Colour New England Leather apparently). Goes well with the Sapphire Black paint. Dealer says it has ellipsoids, but it has 135Ms so I'm thinking it is a Sport! Anyway it has only done 38,000 miles, but it is up for £15,995. :o

According to Wiki the last ones were made on 28 August 2008 so there will be a few with a later VIN.
Coupes because stunning!

I've just put a deposit on a coupe registered on 31/03/09. Vin lf69318. Where would that place it in the build schedule?

seems like a long time from production to registration, unless I'm reading that wrong?

It's not uncommon for cars to be registered 6 months or so after the production date

Excellent yes it was me. Sort of guessed it must have been you in the black roadster that flashed me. Just to keep it on topic my 09 coupe was built in May 08 but not sold till March the 3rd the next year :)
