@Instructor: The first gen R5 was built in Iran until 2000. Parts of it were still in production in 2006 as the Pars Khondro Sepand P.K. (on a Kia Pride chassis, no less).
Sadly, the technology transfer program took a bizzare turn, when Russian industrial spies brought the secrets of British automobile electrical systems back to la rodina.
Hey Murilee, just in case you haven't thrown your laptop against the wall in frustration, I have another candidate for Part II: The Lotus Esprit, produced from 1976 to.... what? A week ago yesterday? :-)
Maybe you need another list (who knows, you might be a masochist) of "Longest running exotics". Surely the Pantera and Esprit would be near the top of the list, along with the Countach, Diablo and Jaguar E-type. Of course, some clown would STILL want the Jeep CJ on the list. :-)
