Hi:
My Rotus is no2 and the VIN ends in 14. Slngsht's Rotus is no1 and his VIN ends in 02. Chris Custer bumped up the VIN numbers at times to make it seem to prospective buyers that more cars were produced than had been at times. We think that between 50-60 Rotus cars were made.
the scuttle is the curved part above the dash, below the windshield, against which the hood sits. It is the color of the car.
