If you're taking delivery on July 18th, you must have a car number by now. I've known what mine was for a couple months. I'd call up Peter and ask him. I too was relieved when I found out it wasn't 666, they probably will skip it.
And don't pay attention to the numbers on the 289s, they don't mean much, they issue those years in advance.
In fact, TP's car went back into the fiberglass shop for some "special" mods and it may be there for a couple more months. Just ask him, he'll be happy to tell you about it
