- Engine #: 697-04/0058
- Transmission #: 336-08/? 4 Speed
Condition:- Current color: Soda blasted
- 9/22/11
- I picked up the body shell of my S1 yesterday.
- About 2000 hours of work to go and it will be finished!

- 9/15/11
- I visited the soda blaster man yesterday and he is making slow but steady progress with my S1. He still has to do a bit more sandblasting of the exposed chassis in the footwells and front area, but the rest of the shell is done. I am very happy with the outcome so far because there is not a lot of damage.
- My S2 looked 10 times worse!
- The nose and LH front guard have been replaced and that is why the car has S2 indicators. The repairer seems to have made his own body filler with black colouring. The shapes is good and the repair is sound, so I just need to spend some time making it look pretty!
- The rear chassis cross member is wrong, but after blasting the overall condition of the chassis looks excellent.

- Last Monday I had a hoist installed in my workshop, so I put it to good use on Saturday. With the help of a couple of friends we completely stripped 460047. That’s me in the white shirt – photo 03
- No major disasters yet thank goodness.
- I’m sending the car to a blaster tomorrow. I’m going to try soda blasting to remove the paint and clean up the interior. All of the black areas in the interior have been covered with vinyl at some stage, which I stripped off , but it is now left with a layer of old glue. Most of the underside , engine bay and inside the nose has been covered in a black underbody material which is quite brittle. I’m hoping it will blast off fairly easily.
- Notable modifications which need to be addressed
- Rear cross member has been replaced
- Big hole in chassis where clutch cable was fitted
- S2 type front indicators fitted
- World’s worst paint job!
- The original colour is orange , so I am going to paint it Lotus Colorado orange. It is a slightly stronger colour than the original – you can see a bit dabbed on the bumper and headlight area in photo 12.

- From PO: Beinwil, Switzerland - 1/15/07
- Poor condition.
- Appears to have an S2 nose graft.

- Engine and trans are out of car; it has suffered a major shunt when Mark slid off the road and hit a fence post in the front and then a tree on the side. It hasn't been worked on since then, and it sits patiently for me to retire and start its restoration into a vintage racer. I have aquired a side panel from another S1 to repair the fender and door on the passenger side. I plan to rebuild the front by patching the pieces back together. I have a frame from 460373 (Dave Alford's car which had a frame upgrade) to repair and install since the original frame is in very poor condition. I also have a R16 motor and trans to utilize for the racing drive train. Still collecting parts and pieces as well as tools to complete the restoration. Jerry Rude, Prather CA (soon to be of Roseburg OR where we will be retiring to). Current color White, original unknown.

- 10/14/07
- Maybe it was the stupidest mistake in my life, but I just bought a Lotus Europa S1. Yep the ugly 460164 with the big fenders and the sculpture at the back. But in one week time it already lost both and is now being sanded down for painting. Engine: Renault crosflow 1567. Underneath the ugly modifications the car has been restored to a rather high standard, but obviously was abused by one of the last owners. Bought the car in the beginning of October.
- 7/9/09 update from lotuseuropa list
- Just a small word of thanks to all of you who recommended to remove the frame from my S1 to repair. It appeared to be a lot crispier than could be seen at first sight. See my pictures for some details.

- I don´t think that 46/0202 will get any better under my ownership. It can be restored to better-than-new conditions as any early Lotus. Feel free to make use of the bunch of fotoes that I add. Car is astonishingly civilized, not noisier than an S2, but has a rattle in the gearchange mechanism that one can not get rid of. I am sure that it comes from the circular insert at the gearbox that had later been replaced by a uniball joint. I tried the S2 uniball gear lever, but this one proved to be worse than the rubber/ball mechanism of the eariler car. Gearchange itself is ok, my 4 speed Special was not substantially better.

As invoiced:- Vin Number: 46/0206
- Date Invoiced: 9/13/1967
- Engine #: 697-04/0261
- Transmission #: 336-08/? 4 Speed
- Original color: L07 - Lotus Yellow
Condition:- From Rick Jacobson - Troy, Maine
- This is not current info but a record of #460206 in the early 70's when I owned it. Model 46 registered as a 1967 model year. Registered as yellow but more of a gold color. I converted the rear suspension to adjustable rod ends on both ends of the rear lower radius rods. The engine/trans was stock Renault as far as I know. I fitted it with the then, brand new, Minilite wheels. Traded my Formula Ford for it from an unknown fellow in Viginia Beach, Va.1972 who said he imported it. Sold to L.S. Ziff, Greensburg, Pa. late 1973 or early 1974. Last contact with him in Nov. 1975 when he said it was undergoing a full restoration. I know this isn't much but someone else might pick up the thread from there. I hope it helps.

Charlie installed air conditioning on it many years ago, and then took it out, so we'll restore it back to standard condition.

- Color will be returned to original. Condition is fair to good. I have restored 7 Lotus from the 60,s and this will not be the worst by far! Car was autocrossed and has had the wheel hubs, wheels suspension modified but most, possibly all original parts were included with car including the original wheels, hub caps and the rare trim rings (all packed in paper dated 1979). Engine is seized as is spare engine and trans #0435 (If car for this engine still exists I would, in the interest of preservation, like to reunite them) Dash has been changed to wood (will be corrected). Car has side draft Weber and custom (and very racey looking ) header. (Will need correct induction and air filter, missing from parts "pile") Glad that this excellent forum is here and looking forward to the project! Always happy to talk to other enthusiasts.

- Original color: L07 - Lotus Yellow
Condition:- Current color: Corvette Yellow
- Good
- Brought the car home Christmas of 1984. Last painted it in 1992 so it shows a bit of wear but still pretty good considering it's been in cold storage for many years. SPAX adjustables on all 4 corners, 4 new tires that have rolled 200 feet in 15 years. Gold empis with homemade center caps and Lotus logos (cast in fiberglass of course). I keep it covered in the garage and turn the motor over by hand occasionally until I have time to concentrate on this car again. According to a 1986 letter I have from Lotus, the car was built in November 1967 and shipped to a dealer called Sports Cars Unlimited in Ontario on December 14th 1967. I was told by the previous owner he believed it was displayed at Expo 67 however since Expo 67 ended on October 29th, if there was a Lotus on display, it wasn't this one.

- I found this Europa on Craig's List, via BringATrailer.com a couple of weeks ago - and have just completed the transaction today ($100).
- The ad (org craig'slist ad has been removed) listed the car as an S2 and the owner didn't have any other information, photos, paperwork, or chassis number.
- The photos looked like an early S2 and I was willing to believe that is what it was (low headlights, small turn signals, no warts, single wiper, no door handles) even though the odds seemed against it. I didn't really want to think about it since I didn't figure that I'd be able to actually complete the purchase and pick it up before tomorrow (owner is moving house and it had to be out ASAP).
- Well, I'd actually given up, but my Elan-driving friend, Peter called me last night. He knew that I was pretty bummed about not being able to get the car b/c of work (etc) and he was afraid that it was going to end up in the junkyard- so he hopped in his car last night and drove to NH. Stayed with a friend, borrowed a truck/trailer, and called me from the seller's house after it was loaded up to tell me that he has a present for me. Once he got on the road he called back to tell me the juicy details... that its a 46 (46/0327)!

- I have owned Europa #460352 since the fall of 2002. I purchased it from Bill Truesdale of Bensenville,Il. Bill traded his Elva Porsche Flat fan for the Europa in 1969. Bill raced it in SCCA D production and came in fourth at the SCCA National Championship in 1972.
- He then took it back to his machine shop and began extensive modifications. He converted the body to an S2 configuration. He changed the rear axle to a Corvair with custom fabricated half shafts. He had spool built to eliminate the differential assembly. The half shafts bolted to the spool eliminating the split pin Renualt system.
- He also replaced the front crossmember with a much more substantial unit. He also fabricated new control arms utilizing rod end bearings instead of bushings.
- When I purchased the car the body was attached to the chassis. Not much else. My son I spent 1 1/2 years finishing the car.
- I went through the VSCDA driver's school in the spring of 2004. I have raced the Lotus with varying success in Vintage races.
- The Lotus is garaged for the year on the only maintenance is new brake fluid.
- I believe that the car was originally white. I have a few pictures from the SCCA Runoffs. The engine # is 0433. There is no trans number on the Lotus plate. I have no idea where the original engine might be.
- The first picture is when I bought the car. The second is a the 2004 driver's school at Gingermen in Michigan.

- This Europa will not be restored to pristine condition, but will instead be brought back to life as a track car to be used for auto crossing.
- The engine delivered to me is equipped with a Gordini cross flow head and a five speed gearbox. The Europa was running when dissembled about ten years ago.

- The deed is done. Brought the S1A back to California over the week end. Some pictures are posted under 0433 67 S1. A few observations:
- The paint looks better in the photos than in person. The paint job is a 10 foot Earl Scheib special. Looks OK, but has some blisters, peeling and spider cracks if you look close.
- Roll bar looks odd but is well braced. I may keep it as is.
- Fuel filler is on the right sail area due to the roll bar using the original hole for the fill cap.
- PO engineered lower link. Seems robust enough but will go back to stock.
- No seat belts.
- Shifter is very stiff and has 3 " if vertical movement.
- Interior is in very good shape, not too crazy about the mouse grey seats.
- The turbine style wheels are starting to grow on me. I may keep them.
- Doing some arithmetic, the car is 42 years old !!!
- The car does start easily and runs fairly well (at least in first gear).
- This will be a rolling restoration.

As invoiced:- Vin Number: 46/0497
- Date Invoiced: 1/22/1968
- Engine #: 697-04/0545
- Transmission #: 336-?/? 4 Speed
- Original color: L05 - Carnival Red
Condition:- Current color: White
- Update 3/13/07:
- I was able to bring 0460497 back to life this weekend. I made several trips around the neighberhood and most everthing works well. The clutch was stuck and after eliminating the cable as the problem I disassembled. This was disappointing since I had just reassembled the front and rear end with new bearings, bushings, ujoints, bolts and paint. It turned out the problem was much easier to solve than I had thought. I discovered that my throwout bearing was fine, but the pressure plate and disk had rusted to the flywheel. After separating, sanding and lubricating everything works well. The best part was NO additional $$$$$$.
- 460497 is really running great. The Stebro exhaust and two stage Weber downdraft sound fantastic. Acceleration is much better then I thought. The minor bad news is that my alternator has 0 output and radiator fan is rusted solid.
- Update 3/27/07:
- I continue to make good progress on my rolling resto of 460497. I now have all electrical lights, gages and fans working. Speedometer is still inop. I've also rewrapped the wiring harness and replaced a few wires that had rubbed raw on the frame tunnel and shorted out. Luckly these were red and a blue wires without stripes. Looks very clean and organized. When I started I had individual, albeit original wires, going everywhere.
- Most of my inop electrical devices were because of corroded electrical connectors and bad ground connections. I think this is because alot of the connectors were disconnected for some time. For the round connectors I used a round wire brush used to clean gun or pistol barrels. Wire brush the male end and circular wire brush the female; plugged everything together and now I have all the lights including the blinkers. My S1 doesn't have backup lights but the wiring is there. The wiring diagram was exactly the same as my car wiring, which made things very easy to sort out.
- It appears that my alternator is inop. I replaced it with a Renault R17ts alternated which bolted right up after I exchanged the pulleys. Only 3 volt output so I cheched the VR. The VR had some internal corrostion and the contacts (points) were corroded shut so I cleaned it up a bit. I still don't think I'm charging but the output voltage is now 12+ volts. I'll have to do some more checking.
- I've also replaced my cooling fan but that is another story.

- Suspension has been modified including springs, lowering, sway bars and TC Europa drive shafts and axles.
- Brake mods include dual masters and disc rear brakes.
- I also owned 46/028? back in the 70's. I found this same car in a junk yard from accident damage in the mid 80's. I assume it was totaled. I'm still looking for the complete chassis #.

Condition:- Current color: British racing green
- 11/09/11
- Sold on ebay for $7,000
- Serial number: 46/0639
- Odometer reads: 77,XXX km [approx. 46,000+ miles]
- Car was a driver 5 years ago, parked in dry storage and recently brought back to life. This is the desirable early, low-headlight Europa which has running lights under the front bumper. From a Europa-based web site only 102 were made and this is one of the last S1 Europas made.
- Car runs and drives though it is in need of a front frame rebuild. It is powered by a Renault 807-03 1565cc alloy hemi head crossflow engine with a downdraft Weber 32/36 DG40V, which runs good. Transaxle snicks cleanly through all gears.
- The rear frame appears to be in good useable condition. The front and rear suspension had maintenance before being parked which included new adjustable Spax shocks front and rear, bushings and bearings checked or replace, and new drive shaft u-joints. Pirelli P300 175/70/R13 tires with low mileage.
- 10 feet/10 mph paint job great for a worry-free daily driver. Fabricated hardwood dash panels. Original steel wheels/trim rings/hubcaps. Car has later doors with power windows. Original doors included. A factory Lotus Europa Workshop Manual [August 1972 printing] comes with the car.

- This is the earliest known Europa S2 to exist (540651). It is a transition car from the S1 to the S2 model. It has the early style body with the low front end, single wiper, no wart turnsignals and push button doors, but with an S2 removable frame and power windows.
- Not runnning and needs lots of work but appears to be quite complete. Good windshield, frame looks good and has been repainted at sometime. Renault non-crossflow engine (free but not running) and 4 spd trans. Body has some star cracks and minor damage from storage. Period alloy wheels. Some spares available.
- Gordini crossflow engine core available as well.

- Complete frame off restoration completed last fall. Everything is new or reconditioned. I do not have the engine compartment insert that goes above the transaxle, however this is not that hard to find. I dare say this is among the best you will find in an early Europa. I have a large stack of receipts to go with the car, along with a box of spares, including a period dealer installed radio, which I have not reinstalled. The bumpers are off the Lotus as can be seen in the pictures. These can be easily put back on there are no dents in them but I would re-chrome them to make them blend with the rest of the car. This was a quality restoration right down to using the correct color on the frame when the body was off.

- Some news from me. I'm ready now with my Lotus. I only need a little time for programming of the fuel injection, but the rest of the car is perfect.
- Photos
- 5/1/10
- Date of first registration 1969 in Switzerland
- I have owned the Europe since 1977 ( yes, it's a Europe )
- In the first two years I started the restoration. The car was completly in parts, but then I stopped with the restoration. I built a Hot Rod. Then, my Lotus was stored for a long time. In the last year, I started my restoration once more. I think that the car will be finished in two years. The chassis is new from Banks, also the shell. The engine is a Gordini and will receive a Megasquirt Injection. Gearbox is 5 speed from a Renault Fuego Turbo. Rear suspension is modified with disc brakes. Discs are original Europa front, Calipers with handbrake from Audi. Driveshafts and axles come from a VW Beetle (aircooled type). The body was not perfect enough for me. The hood incl. rear screen was on the driver side 10mm too deep. Then I had cut the hood from my old shell incl. windscreen frame and I laminated the part together with the new body.

- From: Rob Buck
- On 14/5/1973 I purchased a yellow Europa Chassis No. 54/0760 Eng. No. 0835 from a Ronald Donaldson.
- The car was not going and had suffered an engine fire with most of the rear bonnet burned and also some damage to the rear of the roof and rear window area. I restored it in the next few months and registered the vehicle with the registration No. LOT-000 at Morwell, Victoria on 8/8/1973.
- The car was used as my main transport around town and for country trips etc. I was also involved in competition car rallying in 4 cylinder Fords at that time. Although I was impressed by the balance and handling of the standard Europa it was really not fast enough to get the adrenaline going so I spent some time thinking about how to get the car to accelerate faster and also improve its top speed. I do recall that the Victoria police were using the Ford Falcon GT 351 V8 vehicles which could do about 125 M.P.H. and I wanted to be able to beat that just in case I had a problem with them. Fortunately the need never eventuated (unlike some others).
- I decided in the end to re-power the vehicle with a 13B Mazda Rotary engine (No. A43839 ) which I obtained from a damaged RX4 vehicle. To my knowledge this was the first time this conversion had ever been attempted and I had to design and build everything to do the job from scratch. The vehicle then went back on the road as my normal road car and I continued to use it for many years. I spent some time improving the sound insulation and ultimately it became a very potent but comfortable road car capable of getting from A to B as quickly as anything else could in those days on public roads. I remember having plenty of throttle left at 135 MPH (218 k.p.h.) but the problem was that the front end of the vehicle became very light at that speed and the aerodynamic instability really did get the adrenaline pumping. I eventually sold the car still registered as LOT-000 to a young baker (or was it a butcher) David John Wilson of 78 Magpie St in Ballarat on 17/2/1982. The car was still going well at that stage except the rotary engine was well worn and very smoky but it still performed impressively despite the smoke trail behind.
- Barry Rowe purchased the car from David Wilson after David damaged the car in an accident and the drivers door and rear corner were damaged. Barry commenced a complete restoration (back to standard specs) but sold the car as a rolling chassis with no engine or gearbox. The body was fully repainted in "Monza Red" or a similar colour and sold to a senior army officer in Canberra who intended to restore the vehicle to standard specs. Barry also sold his blue Europa (which he had raced with a 17TS 5 speed box and an ex-Renault Rally Team Gordini engine) to help finance his entry in a London to Sydney rally in the early 1990's. Barry did not know who now has the LOT-000 rego no. but it appears the plates were re-issued to somone else after the registation on 54/0760 expired.
- Recently a friend of mine noticed at an Historic Racing Car meeting at Phillip Island, that a Lotus Elan was now sporting the LOT-000 number plate so maybe this person would know where 54/0760 now is.

- Very fine restored S2 from 1968. Bought from Germany in 2007. Nearly original and in top condition. The cars original color was "Lotus Yellow" but now it's in a bit strange metallic color, which caused fundamental problems at the registration in the Tyrol (Austria) because of its non-authenticity (see enclosed pictures).

- Sold to a Mr. Spencer in 1968 (I think) run for a couple of years and stored for about 30 years. I purchased it pretty much complete but obviously seized solid everywhere. Now about 99% disassembled. Probably start rebuilding at the end of the summer. It has had an engine change to an 807 crossflow at some point. It has also had an accident - front right hand corner shows signs of damage and (amateurish) repair.

- Today I took delivery of a 1969 Lotus Europa S2 Type 54, chassis 54/0844 today, Saturday, October 1, 2011. The car was purchased privately from a Chicago Lotus Club member, Terry Rosser, who resides in Dyer, Indiana. While under Terry's 26 year ownership, the car has undergone a body off frame restoration and upgraded to a Renault Fuego hemi engine, twin Weber 40DCOE's and a five speed gearbox.
- The car is black in color and will join my Caterham Super Seven and TVR Tuscan V8. Photo of Europa attached. This is my second Europa, the first being a TCS, chassis number 3700R, which was sold locally some time ago.

- Actively seeking an S2 and came across this piece in the Toronto area. Car was sitting for 18 years when the current owner purchased it and started to dissasemble. 54/0916 now has gullwing doors and is sans windshield, steering column, engine & transmission. It is available for sale, but am looking more for a driver not a basketcase.

- Disassembled, but appears to be complete. The original engine is there, plus three 807 blocks with crossflow heads (bear with me here, I've never owned a Renault engine, and I really have no idea what these numbers mean, but I WILL figure this stuff out). It also came with a set of Cosmic mags, plus the original wheels and hubcaps.
- The body is in pretty good shape, better than my S1 was. A few cracks and holes to repair, but nothing major. A weekend's work, rather than three months of daily crack repairs. Obviously, it will also need paint. It looks like the car was originally painted green, but has been changed to a sort of brown.
- The chassis, and many suspension and brake parts are rusty, as usual, but I've dealt with that disease before.

- I have had a Europa since 1973. It is registered as a 69 and was built August of 68. I am the third owner and knew the second owner who had it from 71 until 73. It was absolutely original when I got it and it has not changed much since then. I did a complete rebuild in 1980 but it has lived indoors unused but dry since 86. I have 3 engines for it. The original and another non-cross flow. The third is a 16TS cross flow which is currently installed. Mileage is about 46k miles. It has lived most of it's life in London Canada where I bought it and it is currently stored. It also enjoyed living in Montreal for about a decade.
- Back when I club raced (Datsun 510) I used to take the Europa out for laps around the Mosport circuit. It also enjoyed that immensely.
- It seems to be a little bit of a hybrid, having had plex quarter side windows, round "button" door handles on outside, single wiper, no running/turn indicators on the front (just headlights, the turn indicators are small rectangular and located on sides of fenders), the black logo on front. Tailights are S2. I'll try to send photos some day. Currently I am in California and have not even seen the car for six years :(

- My name is Tyler Brady, from Bayfield Ontario Canada. My father Bruce Brady owned two Lotus Europa S2’s, in succession starting with a green 1969, single wiper, S1 style door handles, no signal turn indicators inside the headlamps, Weber down draught carburetor and a cross-flow (Gordini?) head modification straight from the dealer who spec’d it up, Bruce was the second owner. The green one was traded on a fawn coloured one, both were lost to time after that. I now own a vehicle of the same green description (his who knows?) last summer I purchased it from behind a shop next to the woods along with many extra parts includ ing blocks, heads, transmissions, frame, running gear. I also have some pictures. I am a licensed mechanic and will begin a restoration in the spring.
- Model 1969 S2 (but with many S1 attributes) Left hand drive. Unit number +54/0990 Engine number 0979 Transmission number 00678 Colour Green now, believed original looks every day its age at present complete with spider cracks in normal places.
There is green original overspray behind the door panels with factory original black paint assembly markings. The odometer shows 46 492 also believed to be original mileage. The hood emblem is black. The original wheels and trim rings have stayed with the car and can be fixed to original standard with paint and re chrome. Dash is intact but may need total restoration. I have boxes of parts with many correct spares, and needless junk as well. Car is a 6/10 but as a project vehicle 8/10 due to the parts available to me.- Photos

- This is my parts car but I think the body is the best one of the three. Norm and I bought this for $300 a couple years ago and sold about $900 of unwanted parts and kept the rest. I became sole owner when Norm liquidated his lotus interests. This car is red and almost completely stripped of parts. I have a title that is dated May 9, 1975 that shows the seller as Paul K. Gibrae (?? fuzzy), conveyed on that date to Paul D Kessler of Groton, Mass. On August 18, 1985, it was sold to a trust company (official owner) to obtain a loan for Angelyn Deitrick and her husband (name unknown). Husband died and she continued to drive the car until sometime in the early 90's. Then it sat until Norm and I bought it a couple years back. I have no plans for this car.

- We bought the car after someone had half re assembled the car about a year ago. From our under standing the car has been off the road for at least 15 yrs. Chassis has now been stripped and sandblasted. Body has been sanded down to base. Original colour may have been blue. Assembly will start as soon as the chassis has been repaired. Engine is in pieces but we have found new pistons and liners at a local spares shop ( probably been there for 30 yrs) and are now sourcing bearing shells.

- From: Rob Buck
- About 1976 after Barry (Ellis - Current owner of 701024177PR) had moved to Newry, I came across another Lotus Europa 54/1151 (red this time) and as it was cheap due to its run-down almost undriveable condition. I thought Barry might be interested in it as he had apparently been impressed by my yellow Europa (540760). He said yes and I bought it for him sight unseen. This vehicle had already had an engine conversion with a 1600 cross-flow Ford (Kent) engine with extractors and twin side-draught Webers and Barry soon got it going properly and I recalled did reasonably well in some local hill-climb events etc. with it. But after driving my rotary Europa it still wasn't powerful enough so Barry then did his own rotary conversion this time using the R100 Mazda 12A engine. As Barry was more interested in competition use with his vehicle he didn't spend as much effort in making the car as comfortable as mine prefering instead to keep the weight down and hoping for better outright performance. I vaguely remember Barry entering the car in races at the Winton circuit and blowing it up but I can't remember much detail and he ultimately sold the vehicle to a bloke in Melbourne in July / August 1979.
- Barry and I would be interested if anyone can give us any information on the present whereabouts of both 54/0760 and 54/1151.

- Rebuilt and on the road.
- Restored to as close as possible to original. 3rd this year in concourse at Shannons Eastern Creek Classic 1961-70 period. I was up against a Morris 1100 that I'm sure was built in an operating theatre. I'm 4th owner. 3rd owner was Steve Hewitt of Karang Victoria for over 20 years. He was the one who trashed the left front corner in 1983. Parked the car in a shed and left it there until I bought it as a wreck in 2003. He thinks the 2nd owner worked as ground maintainence for Ansett at Tullamarine airport and cut the rear wheel arches to fit fat tyres for track days. Wheel arches now as per normal. No knowledge of who bought the car originally. Weber & extractors fitted by Australian importer.

- The original chassis (from the factory) was +54/1160+, when I bought the car the chassis was and still is +54/1719+. (the chassis was changed very early in it's life, still trying to track down its early history. It was from a Europa in the car club).
- The engine (from the factory) was +1235+. Some time between 1991 and 1992 (on the rego papers) the engine no. was 770528604. When I picked the car up the engine no. had changed to 8070342536.
- The paint (from the factory) was Blue, some where in it's early life (probably when it's chassis was changed) it was re-painted Yellow. When I bought it, theyellow was rubbed off and it was grey primer. It has now been painted Laser blue (a Lotus Elise 2002 colour).

The colour of the car is back to the original with a twist It is Bahama yellow with white on the bottom half like a sprint paint scheme, The interior has been all redone in leather, the dash refinished in a burled walnut. The engine is a Renault Gordini cross-flow with fuel injection and a custom tuned exhaust. The transmission is an 5-speed NG3 Renault from a Fuego.

- Engine #: 697-04/1332
- Transmission #: 336-?/00863 4 Speed
- Original color: L10 - Bahama Yellow
Condition:- Current color: Yellow
- On the body, rear, LH side where the engine compartment lid closes is the stamp: 1287 which does not match the name plate of “1278”, unless the guy was dyslexic. In addition, 1287 is spray painted on the center tunnel.
- Curret Engine: 821-02 #5898
- Transmission: 336-61/1360
- Paint: The body just got finished and is currently repaired and repainted bright yellow.
- I bought the car from a gentleman in Luxemburg, WI. The car was somewhat together but mostly it was taken apart. The engine block and trans were still in the car, but the rest of the parts were in boxes. See pictures. I picked up the car with a friend, brought it to my home where my son and I proceeded to dismantle virtually all the components that make up this auto.
- I became a member of the Fox Valley British Car Club in Oshkosh, WI where the car currently occupies space. I have been working on a complete rebuild, not a restoration. I plan on making this a dependable, fun driver for my son and I. I am currently finishing up the tear down, ordering parts, painting and will be rebuilding soon. As I stated, the body has been repaired and painted and is currently waiting for the frame to be finished.
- A friend said he would rebuild the motor but that is another story in itself. And no I don’t have a motor yet to install. I need to work on that.

Condition:- Current color: Red
- From Craigslist 11/17/09
- This is a modified Europa that has a very different look than others on the street, this car has great potential and could be completed by anyone with some degree of mechanical ability. The car essentially needs a motor transplanted into it and a transmission with brackets/shifting linkage to make it work. The car was built up in the late 70's - early 80's by John Berger of Vancouver, WA, a local driving instructor and racer with Team Continental. The car utilized a fuel injected Volkswagen 1.8l engine mounted to an Audi 4000 5 speed. Other modification this car has are rear disc brakes, a vw radiator, additional RH custom fuel tank (21gal total), and a 2nd brake pedal for left foot braking. I talked to John recently, and he said he would be happy to share more pictures and give some advice on further improving some of the racing-oriented modifications. As the car sits, the old 1.8l engine and Audi transmission have been removed and will be included with the car, this engine is seized up but the tranny seems ok. With a VW 1.8t engine installed, the 1,400lb car would have 160hp+ and will MOVE! The body is in great condition, the only mentionable damage is where the driver's door handle is attached, see picture. This would be an easy fix. The paint is oxidized and has some bubbles that indicate that there is some moisture underneath the paint in places, it really should be repainted to restore this beauty to her original glamour, the glass is good. The second picture in the group is of this same car some years ago, like I said a new paint job is in order.

The engine that I am including with the car is a 2002 VW 1.8l turbo, it has low miles and needs a turbo rebuild (75$). I have no transmission to mount to the 1.8t but I have seen them for around 600$. You will also need a wiring harness, computer, and alternator ($250). With this engine installed, the 1,400lb car will have a 160hp+ and this thing will MOVE! The paint surface is oxidized, and should be repainted to restore this beauty to her original glamor, the glass is good. Keep in mind this car has been sitting covered for 20 years and will gladly take as much loving as you will give, it is in very good condition for its age.

- Original color: L7 Lotus Yellow/Black Interior
Condition:- Current color: Red with Oatmeal interior
- Originally purchased in San Francisco, California in late 1969. I purchased this Lotus in May 1977 in Monterey, California from the original owner. Over the next 3 years I drove it daily. The original 1565 CC engine suffered a failure from a piston skirt, which was quite common in that design. I had a Renault-Gordini 1565cc 807-20 engine imported from France. The displacement remained the same, But it had a HEMI Head with Twin Weber 45DCOE Carburetors and Tuned Exhaust Headers resulting in a great increase in horsepower and torque. I drove the Lotus cross country in 1982 to Massachusetts. I then purchased a new car for daily driving. The Lotus was Yellow at birth and repainted Red in 1984. All of the front & Rear suspension was rebuilt including Koni adjustable shocks and an Adjustable Rear Link system. I drove the Europa less and less as time went by due to having very little spare time from my job. This Lotus Europa has spent all of it’s time since parked in a garage. It was never operated in snow or rain. Included with the Lotus are many spare parts. A 4 speed transaxle and bell housing, a set on rear suspension trailing arms, new set of Brembo ventilated front disc rotors, a set of Twin Cam Fuel Tanks, 2 doors, 2 additional wheels and other smaller parts. A new windshield was installed at the time I stopped using it, as was the dash-board. The original interior was also replaced with Twin Cam rug, Oatmeal seats & console. An Oil Cooler was installed along with a second engine cooler radiator in the front nose of car. Vehicle is stored in Methuen, Massachusetts directly off of Interstate Highway 495 @ Exit 46. Total mileage on the vehicle is less than 50,000. Total miles on New Engine is about 5,000. The Lotus had not been on the road for over 20 years. It is complete but needs the brakes and other systems tended to first.

- Update 3/27/10
- It has been a long job, very long, the first schedule was based on a two months and a half time. It ended up to be nine months, no comments, I started to disassemble the car in July 2009 and let say I finished at the end of March 2010.
- The car was six weeks at the painter, meanwhile I reassembled the two doors.
- I started to reassemble the car on the 12th of February, I built a new fire wall, and change part of the transfer pipes, it has been difficult to find the good bends to be able to fit them from the front, one full morning spent on that. I also moved the engine a bit backwards, the reverse contact was touching the double link suspension system that I bought from Banks. The right doors took me three hours and a half to adjust on the car even with the new Banks hinges, the left door only half an hour, who knows why. Not been a professional, a lot of things took me double time, also because the first time was the learning process, as for the side door windows seals for example.
- The reassembling took me fifteen days and a half in two periods, I started the car the 10 of March, to my surprise the engine started after 5 or 6 attempts, now the car is back on the road, I still have to fix few things, but it is good to drive it again.

- Update 12/10/09
- Five weeks ago the car left the body shop to get a new paint, it should be back tomorrow December 11th, how exiting. I am still working on the interior, finishing the crash-pad, tried before yesterday to glue the vinyl, very unsuccessful, start again next week. the seats are finished. Will reassemble the car in February, will make also a new insulation on the fire wall and changing the transfer pipes.
- Photos
- Update 9/8/09
- I send you few photos of the work process, it takes more time that what I expected, but I am trying to to make the best I can. In three weeks I should be done with the body work and will start preparing the body for painting.
- Photos
- Update 7/18/09
- I'm actually redoing the complete body shell, with a new front, the old one was badly repaired and look more like a patchwork than a Europa. I already cut the car with the help of two Italian friends, and we glued the new one in placed.

Poor repaint in L03 Wedgewood Blue- Posted 12/26/07 by Jason McDaniel - Houston, Texas, USA
- Weathered but not rusty
- I bought the car from Steve F., the ex-president of Lotus West, the Los Angeles area Lotus club. Steve used it for autocross and had done a lot of tweeks to make it perform better and took care of the problems that crop up in Europas. Steve blew the head gasket around 2002, took the head off and left the car parked outside. In late 2007 Steve put the car, along with boxes of spares and performance parts on Craigslist for $1500. The photo looks horrible, the seat pans are rusted and the engine has extensive corrosion. Other than that it's in very good shape. Future plans are for a drivetrain transplant to compete as a SCCA XP class autocrosser.
- Update 9/11/09
- From ebay listing
- This is a 1969 Lotus Europa S2. It is missing the engine, the transaxle, the front window and most of the interior. The person I got it from was stripping it out to build a racecar. As you can see by the pictures, It also needs a bit of pant and fiberglass work. The holes where the front turn signals were has been fiberglassed over. It does have the full front suspension, a brand new set of four brand new Kumho 165/70 13 tires and some used rear shocks that look to be Spax which might be rebuildable. It also has one original set of keys. The car comes with a clear, signed California title so getting it licensed after the restoration shouldn't be a problem. And believe it or not, I actually have some maintenance records and the actual dealer sticker for the car. It was sold from Bill Young Sports Cars in Montrose, California back in '69 for the total price of $4,635 and the sticker does go with the car.
- I was going to do a full restoration on this car, but my job situation right now and the fact that I also have two other project cars sitting in the garage means this will have to be a project car for somebody else to restore. It does need a lot of work but I am selling it cheap.

- I have a Lotus Else Europa under restoration ( enclosed pictures, The wing mirrors and bumpers are missing on the photo) The car is in fact the Else europa in the Book "Lotus Europa gold portfolio" with the nr. plate UNG 121G and the chassis nr 541745.
- I wrote to Lotus and got the answer:
- Your Lotus Europa S2 with chassis number 54/1745 was indeed sold to J.A.Else & Sons, the original engine number was LCS 1486. It may be worth checking the engine number against what is in the car now to see if it has been changed. We have no record of what "Else" options the garage fitted, only that the car was painted yellow here at Lotus as part of production.
- Regards
- Andy GrahamLotus Archives"
The car was a full stage 5 spec, the Naca duct is missing on the photo in the book but had been done later. The engine has also been changed. I bought a new R16 crossflow engine made by the "Renault Guru" Arne Berg with twin 45 Dellortos, racing cam and a free flow silencer system etc. etc. (ca. 170bhp). Í would also try to build the original engine so I would like to buy the Else inlet manifold and the Else cast-alloy rocker cover.Photos |

- Engine runs very strong. Transmission shifts very smooth. Brakes are in perfect working order. Exterior color is a bright yellow with solid green pinstripes that go the full length of the car. Interior is a tan/camel color with tan carpet. Tachometer is functioning along with all of the vehicle lights. Power windows and power engine cooling fans are in working order. Brand new 195/45 R15 Ventus K102 78V low profile tires with new 15-inch KONIG polished aluminum wheels. The tan covering on the dash and door panels fully cover, but will need some work to look perfect. There is one small crack in the fiberglass above the rear passenger tire about 3 inches long. The odometer and speedometer do not function. The air cleaner is missing from the engine.

- After three and a half years and a great deal of help from this group my S2 is road worthy registered and insured! It was on the pavement today. I say two because the back half of the body is a 1969 S2 VIN 54-1767, while the rest of the car is a 1970 S2 VIN 7006190531R. I picked it up in pieces from Naples, FL. The Lotus Company archivist tells me that VIN 1767 left the factory June 16, 1969 and was sold by Lotus East, Millerton, NY. VIN 0531R left the factory September 22, 1970, in Royal Blue colors and was sold by Lotus Canada...maybe that's why there were all red tail lights in the parts box! The 1767 VIN plate was attached to the vehicle dash, but the plenum plate, body and doors all were marked 0531. Also the engine and transaxle serial numbers matched the plenum plate. What a great project leading to even a greater first ride with many more to come.

Condition:- From Peter Brohl
- I picked up the car at the factory and drove it around the UK for 1 week. I then shipped it home. At the time I was living in Utica, NY. I now live in Easton, PA but I have no idea where the car is.
- During the summer of 1970 I campaigned the car on the autocross circuit winning SCCA's area 11 championship for solo 2. In 1971 I converted the vehicle to a full blown race car and campaigned it on both SCCA's National and Regional circuit for several years. In 1976 I won the NYSRRC championship in the DP class. The car was sold in 1978 to an exotic car dealer in WhitePlains NY. The guy's name was Nick Soprano. After that I lost track of the car.

- Bought from Norm Vandal Sept 2005. Norm bought from Albert (Ray) Varney around 1999. Varney bought in 1976 from original owner (unknown). Car was driven by Varney until 1978 (approx) when he started a frame-off restoration. He got about 80% done and stopped. Eventually sold to Norm who had intended to put a Toyota engine and NG3 in with lots of other mods. Norm burned out on the project and sold me the car with a miriad of other parts. He sold the engine and tranny along with a twin link to some guy in Alaska. I will sell the original engine and put another 225-250hp 1796cc Renault hemi in the car with cage and stripped down as much as possible. (eventually)

- Here we have a S2 Europa which has been owned by the same person for the past 37 years during which time it has always been garaged and used on sunny days. The car has been maintained to the highest of standards in all respects the chassis was replaced by a Spyder Enginnering type fewer than two thousand miles ago at which point all of the brakes were overhauled and a new clutch was fitted it had a new radator fitted and all coolant hoses replaced along with the gear linkage joints being renewed. The car is finished in striking Lotus yellow and is sitting on period style alloy wheels with new tyres and complemented by black seats an brand new oatmeal coloured carpets.

- This unique car is a replica of the original Supercar built by Lotus in collaboration with parts supplier GKN, called GKN47D (Google Lotus GKN47D). This original car of which only one was built, had a Rover 4.4L V8, and could do 163mph, 0-60mph 5secs, and 13.1 sec standing qtr. The replica car for sale was built in WA many years ago using an original 1969 Lotus Europa, fitted with a P76 4.4L V8 and Citroen 5 speed transaxle. When purchased the vehicle had been damaged and repaired following an accident but was unpainted. A full restoration/engineering project was undertaken by us on the vehicle with the chassis beng strengthened, a brand new Rover 4.6L (including high performance camshaft) engine being installed, new aluminium fuel tank, new wiring, new gear selection, new cooling system, new adjustable coil over suspension fitted, 4 wheel discs, new windscreen and further fibreglass body repairs undertaken. The engine has never been used. Many dollars and effort were put into this car over 2 years, however due to problems obtaining gear parts to repair the Citroen 5 speed transaxle, the project has remained unfinished, as other projects took precedence. Due to a relocation and change of circumstances, the car is now for sale. In its current state it now requires body prep and painting and installation of either a complete replacement Citroen transaxle or alternately the use of either a Renault, VW or Porsche transaxle. Due to the fact that the car is an unfinished project, it is being sold at an enormous discount on what has obviously been spent on the car. The engine alone is not far short of the asking price for the complete car.

- Interesting body mods. It spent most of its life in Singapore and has aircon and period bucket seats. It needs full restoration. I believe the engine ran around a year ago and it was last on the road around 2000. I have no paperwork but I do have a bill of sale from when I purchased it.

- Was towed off a rental property after sitting for 19 years untouched. It is not a "R" VIN, but the number on all 3 metal tags is 65 / 2086+. The 3 tags are the windshield VIN tag, the front compartment VIN# - engine# - transaxle# - color# info plate and the "build plate" in the front compartment which shows a build date of 18/08/1969. The towing operator is trying to get me a title based on a mechanics lien for storage costs. Otherwise, it too becomes a parts car.

Condition:- Engine for sale on ebay.
- Has else manifold, DCOE & valve cover.
- Before we begin, please forgive my collosal ignorance. This is a Renault engine from a Lotus Europa - that much is certain. The rest I'm not so sure about. If you know anything about these engines, you'll know what you're looking at. The unit was removed from a car that was sent to be restored (not by me) around 20 years ago. The owner ran out of cash as the classic market disintegrated and gave up. So the restoring garage kept what they had and the chastened owner kept what had been removed. He then moved to a flat with no garage/storage and I inherited this and many other bits and pieces for +2 Elan and Europa. I have front and rear window glass for the Elan, for example and many other body parts - the sort of things you'd remove prior to a respray. I have no idea what this engine is like on the inside. If you're interested/curious it can be viewed in Metfield, Suffolk. I could get the head taken off if that would help. Whatever value there is in this is likely in its being an original item.

Estimated bhp circa 165/170 hp.

- I drove a white S2 this afternoon that's been on Craig's List for a few weeks. 65-2185 for the Registry, Jerry, and it has a cross flow with twin 40 DCOEs with a 4-speed. Pluses and minuses - sort of what you would expect - and I haven't checked it thoroughly. The brakes are pitiful, but it seems to handle fairly well. Rear wheel bearings may be okay; I didn't jack up the back of the car.

- Condition; Drivable. Will be restored in time.
- P.O. have most likely swapped engine. Is currently running what seems to be a Renault 807 engine. 1565CC with aftermarket turbo. Runs bad. I'm thinking of doing an engine swap, as Renault is, Renault.. Needs new bushes, and framework will in time be restored and painted. For now, is enjoyed as is, and I'm thinking of getting it "road Legal" before restoration begins.

- 1565CC engine converted back from turbocharged. Removed the old turbo and Strömberg carburator. Found a 32/32 Weber from a 2.0L and installed it. Gets a little much fuel, but runs better without the turbo. Overhauled brakes and started repairing passenger door. New rear TCA, new rims and tyres on "to buy" list, and will be body off restored at end off year.

- I want to start by saying that I know nothing about these unusual cars. I am listing this vehicle for a friend who does not have a computer. All questions should be directed to him. His name is Gary and he can be reached at 1-937-657-4286. I have looked at the car and can provide the following information. The Lotus is not running and needs a complete restoration. The car appears to be all there and I observed no major body damage. The glass is all good and the interior is dated. The frame and uncarriage appear to be solid.

- 6/19/08 - Condition - sad, poor, fairly complete [missing gas tank]; moss growing inside, very rusted frame, cracked front nose.
- 8/10/10 - For anyone considering this car, please take note. This is NOT a barn find. The car has been submerged at least 18" in water - long enough to leave a carefully removed [sometime last year] water line. Cracked windshield, black mold growing in the cockpit, no usable chrome, etc.

- Engine #: 821-30/0337
- Transmission #: 336-56/00593 4 Speed
- Original color: L01 - British Racing Green
Condition:- It IS an S2. Warts, door handles, original sailplanes. The paperwork from the PO doesn't exactly clarify anything: the Indiana title lists it as a "71 Lotus, mfr's ID 0177R, type 2S". There is an ID plate (loose) that lists the unit number as 65/2285+, engine #0337, trans #00593. I do have the original Renault engine (totally disassembled, right down to the bare block) but haven't been able to dig down thru the pile enough to confirm the ID number on it. Is the number on the block?
- The black car(?) is confirmed as #0177, no issues there. The red shell carries a tag with unit #7007200580R, vin #0580R.

Condition:- Current color: Warm Red
I have just purchased an immaculate 1969 S2 Europa, VIN 652377 with 43000 original miles. The car was manufactured in October 1969. The previous owner had the car for twenty years and restored and repainted it fifteen years ago. At that time it was "defederalized", lowering it to the original ride height and the rear control arms were modified to allow the rear camber to be adjusted. The car is an immediate driver, only requiring a few housekeeping issues like gluing down carpet and the like. It has been meticulously maintained over the years by the previous owners brother, Ken Miles, who operates Miles Import Car Repair in Edmonton and it has been garaged during the time the previous owner had it. The original colour is not know (maybe yellow) but it is now a Warm Red and it was a body off repaint. The paint is flawless and has only a couple of stone chips. Mechanically the vehicle is in outstanding condition not requiring any work at all. Get in and drive.- The car has not been driven very much over the past few years as the previous owner's knees are not what they used to be, which was the impetus for selling the vehicle. For insurance purposes the car is being appraised but at this time the appraised value is not known although five years ago it was valued at approximately $12500 Canadian $.
- I will split my fun car time between the Europa and my Mini. Hard to say which will bring the most fun!

- Owned since l977 with 50000 unloved miles on the clock. Fully restored in 1980/81 - new everything !!.
- March 2008 - now 347000 miles, yes 3 4 7 0 0 0 miles, with very few problems. Journies throughout Europe every year - North to Danish border. East to Hungarian border - South to nearly Italy and South West to France & Spain regularly.
- 03/08 undergoing engine and suspension rebuild ready for next trip in 05/08 to North West Spain and across the Pyrenees, again!. Probably one of the first Lotus Europa S2 to cross the Millau bridge in France with a 1968 Elan +2 (following of course!).
- Car still in 'perfect' running order considering its age, and with the Gordini 807 with twin Dellorto carbs and 5 speed box (fitted 1979), it can still give the local "neanderthals" in their Saxo's etc a "good seeing to!"

- The car appears to be a very early series 2. The windshield is held in by a gasket rather than glued in like the 71 S2 I owned. There is no indication the car ever had external mirrors installed. It has the key mounted in the dash rather than the locking steering column. Unusual at least to me is that the single gas tank is mounted on the right side rather than the left. Every S2 with a single tank I've seen has the tank mounted on the left side and so far I don't see evidence that one was ever mounted there. The car sits relative low for a federal car so it may have had the ride height modified at some point. Of interest in the papers I received with the car was an owners manual and service book for a series 1 Europe in French.
- The car on first inspection looks like it has been the victim on several restoration attempts and bad storage conditions. The right sail area has heavy damage to the inside and at the rear. The piece from the cabin back is broken out. I have the piece but because of the location it's going to be fun to fix. The story is that the DPO once removed dropped a tree branch on it causing the damage which I can believe because of the stress cracking n the right sail area. There's also damage to the right corner of the trunk lid and rear of the roof but these are relatively minor. The motor and transaxle are in the car and the gear box rotates but the crutch is frozen. The motor supposedly was rebuild and running shortly before the current DPO acquired the car but I have my doubts. Motor and transaxle both show a lot of surface corrosion so they may have been cleaned as part of the rebuild effort and left unprotected when the car sat. The carburetor and distributor were taken off the motor. The carburetor I got with the car isn't the correct Solex. It looks like a Holly Weber and will need to be replaced. The current wiring harness is part lotus and part do it your self so the car will need to be completely rewired. The left front wheel is frozen. Most likely the brake is frozen to the rotor.
- The car has Ohio plates on it but has a Wisconsin title.
- Assuming the frame is OK or repairable the plan is to disassemble the car and restore it as a driver with the Renault engine over the next several years.

- The last time it was on the street was 1986. The owner was starting to do some repairs on the car but passed away. The car has been inside since that date. I know the owner had an extra gas tank installed and made some modifications to the engine. As you can see in the picture two Webber carbs have been installed. The master brake cylinder was being reinstalled but it's not finished. The car is being sold as is. The engine is not in running condition! Read on :) After I installed a gas pump it did start, that's it. You can see it's in nice shape. The bumpers are near perfect, no dents or scratches. The interior is in good shape but I see some wires hanging that I wouldn't know what they are for. The one tach was a modification that was installed, looks nice. I have the workshop manual. The car needs work!

Condition:- By: Garry Parrish: I would like to locate my 1969 S2 Lotus Europa. First registered in CA with the tag 099BEK, The Serial Number is 65/2654, Engine No. 0449, and Transmission No. 874. It was originally painted a “special tangerine” color by Lotus. It’s not Lotus “Colorado Orange”, somewhat more red, but definitely orange. It has the Hermes HLR681 kit with high lift cam. I am optimistically using present tense in my description in hopes that it is still milling around happily as ever.

- This is a mid-engine fiberglass body english sports car. It has a Renault 1565cc all-aluminum inline four. The gear box is a sychronized 4 speed transaxle (also Renault). Approximately 9300 Europas were made between 1966 and 1975.
- The car is located in mid Maine, just north of Augusta. You are welcome to come and see the car in person.
- The car is in good over all condition. The engine runs and shifts without problems and was registered and on the road last year. The interior is in good condition, the only thing that needs to be replaced is the headliner (see photo). There is a Nakamichi tape deck with a sony eq-amp with a power ant. The tires are new with little to no wear and are mounted on Panasport alloy wheels. The body is also in good condition, there is a bit of crazing in a few places, there was also some minor damage on the front left headlight, (only the paint was damaged). Bumpers front and readr are in great condition, no pits or rust. The car has various small paint chips on the body. The doors need to be readjusted and the weatherstriping could be replaced.There is a small oil leak (oil pan I think).
- The only thing currently keeping the car off the road is the right front brake caliper sticks from time to time. I have purchased a nos girling for replacement that will require installation and will be included in the sale.
- If the reserve price is met I will also include a second chassis, miss front and rear suspension parts, another front and rear bumper (they need to be replated or painted). Any questions feel free to ask.

- 1969 lotus europa project car. The engine has over $1400 in machine work and needs to be assembled. It appears to be complete with lots of new parts such as je pistons,bearings,gasket set, rings, camshaft, etc. The body has a fair paint job that might be improved with wet sanding and a little tlc. There are a lot of new parts such as carb, headers, exhaust, wiring, weatherstrips, carpet set, mats, suspension parts, heater, and more. The seats have been recovered and look great. All 4 pieces of glass are in good shape. The only things we know that are missing are the bellhousing and 2 main cap bolts with are otc grade 8 bolts. We have located a used bellhousing for $75 plus shipping. There are too many parts to list. There is no way to ship all this so it must be picked up in hoover, alabama. Check the pictures and if you have any questions just ask and we'll respond quickly. Alabama did not have titles before 1975 models so we have no title. We will provide a notorized bill off sale.

- I was told that it was a barn find from Canada before it was restored. The car is in very nice cosmetic shape. I added new wheel caps, a proper wiper blade, new badges an ash tray and repaired the trunk area. Other areas that need attention are shift linkage, very sloppy and throttle tends to stick. Otherwise this is a very nice Europa.

- This Europa raced for many years on various circuits around Canada, in the then GT2 which would now be Group 70. The body on this car has been modified with flairs which would need to be removed for production based vintage racing which is what I intended to do but woek finds me way to busy to be able to have this hobby. The body is fairly rough and needs completely restorig. The Engine is a cross flow Gordini with down draft webbers, oil cooler and a custom header. The Engine has nort been started in some time but does turn over. The car came off the track and was running when stored. It is the 4 speed box.

- Just arrived at SportsCar LA. This Lotus Europa is finished in Silver with contrasting black interior. This fiberglass body Lotus is fitted with the popular 1600 Renault Engine. At only 1400lbs, These S2's are quick and responsive. The original color of this Lotus was Primrose yellow. Has the usual weak door hinges that will need to be repaired when the car is repainted. Drivers side door handle needs to be repaired. Electric windows work well. The dash and interior is very nice and original on the car. It has been recently serviced and starts, runs and drives very nicely. The car has been in California all its life and the chassis is totally rust free. This car is ready to be driven as is or a perfect example for a concourse restoration. We are asking a very fair price for this car. Please call us at SportsCar LA should you have any questions. Thank you.

- This was at a recent event in New South Wales here at a place called "Wakefield Park". Its is about 150 miles south of Sydney and its was FREEZING cold on August 16, there was sleet falling and there was a prevailing wind and a stream of water crossing the track .
- As you can see I have doing more work on the thing, it now is very stable at high speed (135mph) and stops very well too.
- I have recently replaced the entire rear drive shafts (inner & outer) plus the hubs and the hub nuts. My advice to owners that are having stability problems at speeds around 70mph: its beacause the rear shafts, hubs and splines are worn and are starting to steer the car; so just replace the lot.

- This is a 1969 Lotus Europa that is half restored. I have finished the frame, engine and transmission, and front suspension --all done in 2001. The frame needs a little touch up. The rear suspension has not been done. The seats are in great shape--no rips, cuts, or tears. The interior carpet however needs to be replaced. Door panels are ok. Doors have the usual Europa sag. The body needs to be taken down to the gel coat and then built back up. I have some new parts such as brake pads and shoes and some misc. bushings. I have the engine on a stand so I can run it some while out of the vehicle. Engine has been rebuilt. The engine has a weber carb and I have a solex carb that I bought on ebay. The car has been a restore project for a long time and I have lost interest.

- My Father has had the car since 1973. It has needed body work for sometime, and we are finally restoring it this winter. When I have the car in my garage I will be able to give you the engine number, and trans number. I do know it is not the original engine, but one that had less miles on than the original. The current engine and transmission have been in the car since 1973, because my Father bought the car with a broken piston in the original engine.

- This car was originally registered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1971 ( I believe. ), and purchased by me in 1975. The car was campaigned for a number of years on the western Canada Autocross circuit and has had a number of minor modifications done for expediency which I now regret. (no modifications have been done to the engine or transmission.)
- The car was a daily driver until 1995, and an occasional driver until 2000, but it has mostly been in the garage since then, with occasional start ups and trips around the block. Cosmetically, it is in poor shape with faded and cracked paint, but it starts and runs well and all the bits and pieces are there (somewhere). I am assessing the condition to see what should be done to put it into better shape.

- I have now owned lotus europa s2 chassis number 540015P which was registered on the 1/3/1970 for the last 6 years. The car was white when purchased but not sure this is original. The car was a complete basket case and is undergoing a complete restoration. Any history on this car would be great.

- I am selling a 1970 Lotus Europa that was part of an estate inheritance. The car has not been registered since 1990. It was stored in a garage all this time in Indiana. I recently brought it back up to Michigan and transfered the title without a problem. I have performed a lot of mechanical work on it to get it going. It runs drives and stops. Most everything electronic works, lights, heater, cooling fans etc. I would highly reccomend this be trailered home since I have not really taken it anywhere far from home. The body is 100% fiberglass and it has aged well but to restore it properly it will need a few sopts attended too but it is not all spider cracked which is a tendancy on these cars. Its non original paint and its not in the great of shape there are some scuffs. The interior is pretty nice original not major rips or tears. It is a rear engine 4 cylinder rear wheel drive and the steering is on the right hand side so this is the european version. I dont know when it was imported. I have a lot of paperwork and books on the car and will get pictures up soon!

- This 1971 S2 Europa had 10 previous owners some of whom had damaged various parts so it required a full nut and bolt rebuild. There are many non standard parts including a Twin Cam back. So purists please forgive me. It is now in nearly perfect condition (one panel needs respraying) and has covered only 1500 miles since the rebuild.

- I have a S2 Europa that my Dad bought a while back. It was being raced in our historic series here in S.A. but it's pretty sad at the moment. The chassis no. is 7103060275P and is (I think) Lotus yellow. My Dad has repaired the frame (the frame had been cut away in the engine bay) and the suspension and the next job is the bodywork, of which the main problem's are a biiig crack at the top back of the driver's door and finding a windscreen. Apart from a photo in a magazine of it racing I don't know any of it's history yet but I am e-mailing Lotus to see if the have any records of it.

- It has been some time since I last ran my S2 Europa on the track. The last 18 months have been spent house building and setting up my shed.
- On Sunday I spent the day at Sandown raceway with the Alfa Romeo Owners Club. After a really good tuning session on Saturday the car felt as lively as it had ever been. Mid-range pulling power increased noticeable after tweaking the points, plugs and main jets. I also removed the air filter. Towards the end of the first outing, the tyres had warmed and the brakes settled in. I was pulling around 7000rpm in 4th on the back straight when a valve dropped and lunched the engine. I took a few photos yesterday while the car was on the hoist. The tear –down will be interesting…
- I did manage to better my previous time by 0.8 seconds, so I have something to smile about.

Car has 42,000 genuine miles from new, thus good original carpets, original seats, etc. Is sitting as a retirement project (soon) for owner but little to actually do on it. May paint it a different color! Has been garaged for all of its life. Not for sale, the car is very happy living with its owner. Owner gets in it and can't stop smiling.

As invoiced:- Vin Number: 65/0270Q
- Date Built: 6/19/1970
- Date Invoiced: 8/26/1970
- Engine #: 821-30/2648
- Transmission #: 336-56/? 4 Speed
- Original color: Primer
Condition:- Current color: White
- I just found your website and I thought I should fill in some details of a Europa I owned for 13 years. I sold it in ’97 and sadly I have no idea of its current status.
- Original Color: Yellow. When I bought it, it had been resprayed very poorly (also in yellow but a darker shade)
- Color Now: White (in 1997 anyway)
- Condition: Body-off rebuild with the following modifications: rear “arms” boxed in with 16g steel from motor mounts to rear body mounts; new rear cross-member fabricated from 1”x2”x16g RHS with 1/8” thick end brackets; Heim-jointed adjustable rear lower control arms (made by me), all suspension joints renewed including front trunnion kits; Spax dampers with custom springs (different to the specs in the workshop manual which are way out for the rear suspension); new front sway-bar; new brake lines and pipes; alloy radiator pipes; rebuilt 1565cc TS engine with 2-choke downdraft Weber; new custom shift fork rod in 4-spd transaxle (original snapped through roll-pin hole); except for the shift lever, all joints in the gearshift were replaced with bronze-bushed Heim joints; original radiator assembled incorrectly so that got modified; new hand-brake cables; alloy fuel tank to different design (same capacity, lower CG); very slight flares on rear wheelarches (no longer necessary); 1/2” MGB wheel studs; ROH “Superlite” 6x13” wheels with Japanese Dunlop 185/60 (F) and 205/60 (R) tyres; Moto-Lita Mark 4 13” steering wheel; new Lotus walnut gear knob; new custom pedal bracket with ¼” alloy plate underfloor brace that extends to the matching set of bolt-holes on the passenger side; throttle linkage reinforcing plate mounted in front luggage compartment; interior fully re-trimmed in plain black vinyl (i.e. no basket-weave); new carpet; new stereo/speakers; bored out and bronze-bushed door hinges; new custom stainless steel door hinge pins and custom pin clamps; rally pins on the front bonnet (the lock broke and I could not source a replacement at the time); band-tinted Royal Doulton windscreen (it had this when I got it); new felt-lined plastic glove box (I made this myself to replace the Samsonite one that rotted away); lots of s/s and aircraft-grade hardware throughout. When I started the rebuild/restoration and stripped the interior I got a severe shock to find that the roof had apparently been cut off and then amateurishly reattached (I always wondered why the pillars looked kind of weird) so I had to do a great deal of glassing and grinding to fix that. I used some unidirectional CF to reinforce the pillars (only the A-pillars had been cut; the second cut was midway along the roof and I have never been able to work out why someone would do that). The front end bodywork was damaged in a crash so I cut it off and bought a replacement from a local supplier, but I didn’t know there were two different S2 front ends and of course I got the wrong one. Since it was custom-ordered I couldn’t return it and I eventually got it to fit okay. I also made moulds from the bumpers and made lightweight fibreglass ones to avoid the rust and scratching inherent in the steel originals. It had been out of registration for a while and when I went to get it re-registered the RTA would not accept the chassis # on the plate, they wanted to see the one stamped in the chassis itself and I was unable to find it so they issued a new number (which I don’t have a record of) and shortly after I found the original, on the outside of the right rear chassis arm near the motor mount – it just had “0270Q” instead of the whole string.
- I don’t know if this is of any use since I no longer own the car; If I think of any more details I’ll let you know. These mediocre pics show it just before I sold it.

- Original color: L09 - Royal Blue
Condition:- Current color: Navy metallic that has aged reasonably well given the woes of fiberglass.
- Sold in May 2010 - PO: Joseph Olin Agoura Hills, California, USA
- Update 1/5/10 - Bradley D. Olin
- I've been working on the car for my dad, Joseph Olin, in preparation to sell it. The car is currently being garaged in Santa Cruz, California.
- Recent work since the last registry update:
- Replaced Passenger Window Motor
- Replaced Valve-Cover Gasket
- Replaced Spark Plugs
- New sealing fuel cap
- Replaced Air Filter with K&N
- Carburetor Adjusted
- Optimized Distributor Timing (needed advancing)
- Replaced approximately 10' of inner-chassis hard-line with silicon hose
- Also of note:
- Fuel Tank was replaced at some point with a larger tank. Approx. 9 gallons
- Needs Attention:
- Front Sway Bar Mount Has Snapped off on Passenger Strut
- Interior is still rough - Door panels, carpet, headliner need TLC
- Choke line needs adjustment
- Passenger door alignment issues (door opens fine from inside)
- Photos
- Update 6/3/08:
- Overall, a good unrestored Lotus but worn.
- The paint appears to be original and looks good from about 10 feet away, but because it is 38 years old it does have cracks and scratches (someone keyed the bonnet). There are also some small cracks in the fiberglass at the front left fender, and the nose looks slightly "dented" along with the bumper.
- The frame is rust-free.
- The engine starts right up and runs strong with no smoke (the previous owner said it was recently rebuilt but it didn't come with receipts). Shifts and brakes well (new master cylinder). Weber carburetor and a gear-reduction starter have been added (the original carb and starter are included). The engine has been recently tuned up with new plugs, points, condenser, cap, and rotor.
- Most of the electrics work, including the power windows. Turn signals and brake lights do not work (some of the wiring looks disconnected).
- The interior is original but worn; the drivers seat is taped, the carpet is bad, the headliner has rips, the vinyl top of the dash has one 2" crack, but the wood dash is better than it appears - only the varnish is cracking.
- The glass all looks good with no chips/cracks.
- The muffler needs to be replaced.
- The alternator works but is misaligned.
- The car features rare Cosmic wheels (6 wheels come with the car!).
- The tires are the wrong size; they rub on the inner wheel wells on sharp turns (wheels are correct though).
- The passenger door needs to be adjusted.
- Update 2/2/09:
- Will re-paint to original color later this spring.
- The engine is strong and has remained problem free other than some timing issues with a problem distributor.
- Have addressed the following:
- Radiator and cooling system replacing all hoses.
- Replaced broken shift-lever rod in transaxle.
- Replaced broken hinge on passenger door (ouch! What a pain!)
- Replaced broken Koni shocks, front and rear with new Konis. (full-soft)
- Replaced ball-joints.
- Replaced brake hydraulic cylinders.
- Replaced brake pads & shoes.
- Replaced broken exhaust manifold bolts and re-attached header.
- Rebuilt Weber DC36 downdraft carb.
- Installed new muffler and tail pipe.
- Installed new Kumho 175/70/13 on Cosmics.
- Re-attached a number of wires so that nearly all gauges work.
- Next steps:
- Getting gauges to work accurately.
- Spec-out the interior for refitting liners/carpets/door vinyl.
- Install new wiring.
- Determine level of pain for refinishing and painting.
- Up until today’s broken ignition switch…the car on the road has been incredibly rewarding. Makes me smile just to fold my 55 year old frame into the seat!

- Original color: L10 - Bahama Yellow
Condition:- Current color: White
- Frame off restoration in 1999.
- The exterior is in good shape, there are a few small chips and the usual stress cracks, all the badges are there and all the chrome looks good. The interior looks good. The dash has been painted with a textured paint and looks great (I think it looks better than the wood grain). All of the gauges and switches work. The center console is plywood wrapped in vynel(looks nice but I think it would be better with the original console). There are a few scuffs in the seats but over all they are in great shape and very comfortable. The headliner needs to be redone for some reason its the only thing on the car done poorly. The engine has been rebuilt and runs good and strong the carbs have been replaced with a single downdraft carb. The rims have been powder coated and has new tires. It also has adjustable coilovers in the rear.
- Purchased from ebay 7/26/06.
- For sale on ebay 4/8/07.

- Original color: L05 - Carnival Red
Condition:- Current color: Black
- It IS an S2. Warts, door handles, original sailplanes. The paperwork from the PO doesn't exactly clarify anything: the Indiana title lists it as a "71 Lotus, mfr's ID 0177R, type 2S". There is an ID plate (loose) that lists the unit number as 65/2285+, engine #0337, trans #00593. I do have the original Renault engine (totally disassembled, right down to the bare block) but haven't been able to dig down thru the pile enough to confirm the ID number on it. Is the number on the block?
- The black car(?) is confirmed as #0177, no issues there. The red shell carries a tag with unit #7007200580R, vin #0580R.

- It has been sitting in a covered garage since 1976. So it's very dusty and some things that should move are stuck. Like the crankshaft, for one. :-) The good news is that I bought it from the original owner, it has less than 30,000 miles on it, and everything is there.

- I did it now, I just purchased a pretty cool project 70 Europa. It's got super potential, a lot already done. Zetec, 5 speed, "Alfa Sport" twin Webber 45 DCOEs with a reprogrammed ignition box. Twin link rear set up, flares. It ought to go like "Yea Baby!"
- The fellow did some other interesting things. He reverse cloned the gas tank so he'd have 2 instead of just the one 7 gallon. He reverse cloned the radiator too! Yea, left and right radiators. Also, he installed what looks like it's gotta be factory, a solid panel sunroof. It doesn't let any light in, not sure what it's called really. I don't know what it came out of, it looks great. Fully boxed, fully framed (all fiberglass, you'd swear its factory) with drain tubes, etc. Slick. I think I might try to make a different panel for it with a double bubble top, so I can fit in with a helmet on.
- Lots to still do, I'll be screaming for help!
- If I regain my sanity I might try to move it on to someone with the time, talent, bucks, whatever to see it done. Meanwhile, I'm still dreaming of paint schemes.

- Fiberglass in good shape but will need to be sanded, primed and painted. Interior is all there but will need new carpet and seats recovered. Wiring will need to be done and guages and switches reinstalled. Steering column and shifter need to be reinstalled. Have two engines including one in car but will need to get running. Nothing major is believed to be wrong with either.

- I purchased it from Jerome Winick in 11/1982 for $3,500 and sold it about a year later to Sara Hansen.
- Here are some pics of the car. I did manage to get a few speeding tickets in and around Pacific Coast Hwy/Santa Monica and Malibu. One of which I scanned to prove it ran. The photos are out at the Paramount Ranch Sports Car Race Track before it was transferred to the National Park Service.

- I am in the process of slowly restoring this Europa as time allows. The previous owner had the engine rebuilt but I have not tried to start it because the dash and electricals were mostly removed when I got it. I have finished the dash removal (@#%$@* defrost vent screws) and am redoing it currently. The interior needs some work--seats re-upholstered, carpet cleaned, etc. The body is in good condition except for the usual stress cracks. A paint job will be required. I found a set of Cosmic wheels and had them re-finished. That's where I am at this point.

- PO: Theodore Hollo - Aurora, Ohio, USA
- This car was purchased disassembled, as a project. I have too many projects, and have decided to sell the Lotus as it is.
- The car has the 1545 CC Renault engine. This appears to be the original. The engine was rebuilt in Cleveland last year. This included new pistons/sleeves, valves, rockers, pushrods etc, and has been installed in the car. I replaced the clutch and had the transmission checked and cleaned. Electrical wiring has not been completed, but all appears there, and most was tagged on dissasembly. A newer battery is included.
- The body has no major damage nor repairs. There are some spider cracks typical of almost any Lotus this age. Suitable for a driver, should be done up if used for show. The car was kept indoors, and has no noticeable rust. All is very easy to assemble/dissasemble.
- Other work done includes new brakes all around, new clutch, new tires, new exhaust (you may want a quieter muffler). Also, many of the suspension fasteners were replaced during assembly.
- The interior is partially dissasembled, as I had started to remove the dash for re veneering and never completed. All parts and gages appear to be there for reassembly.
- I believe everything required to put back together is there, but what you see in the photos is what you get. I will not be responsible for any missing items or fasteners.
- The car has a current and valid Ohio title.
- The vehicle is not running, but is rolling. Customer will be responsible for pick-up. I would urge a trailer or hauler. A car dolly might work, but the vehicle is low clearance and could be damaged. Weight is around #1400.
- The mileage is not backed by documentation and could possibly be inaccurate, although I believe it is a good reading. Engine was out when titled, so Ohio marks title accordingly. It is obvious that this vehicle has been garaged. This vehicle has a smooth shifting transmission.
- Other work required will be reattachment of wiring, assembly and cosmetics of interior, redo of dash (recommended), adjustment of valves, carburetor, timing etc. As shown, documents include the Shop Manual, engine manual, parts and assembly "tips" sheets, and a spare manual that has series 2 info.

As invoiced:- Vin Number: 65/0287R
- Date Built: 5/12/1970
- Date Invoiced: 5/29/1970
- Engine #: 821-30/1155
- Transmission #: 336-56/? 4 Speed
- Original color: L10 - Bahama Yellow
Condition:- Current color: English White
- The car is remarkably untouched, original and uncut down to it's original wheels and hubcaps. It's wiring system also seems to be original and uncut, escaping from the "improvements" many of these cars suffer from. The chassis has surface corrosion but after a swipe with a wire brush in the initial inspection, it too seems to be in decent shape, unstressed at the shock towers or at the front end. The Renault engine is, at this point, unstarted, but is free and turns easily. 287 has improved markedly from many liberal doses of PB Blaster penetrant.
- The body will be removed this fall when a closer inspection and clean up will be well under way. So far, so good. Completion 2012?
- Looking for history on this car if available.
- From ebay ad - 4/24/10
- This car is complete and original but has been off the road and last registered in the 1980's. It has the original Renault 4 cylinder engine, it is not running and no attempt has been made to start it. The glass body is straight with layers of old flaking paint but no damage other than where someone put a hole in the drivers floor by apparently jacking up with a floor jack. The frame is solid and it is nice that in general nothing has been taken apart or removed from the car so it is ready and waiting to be either fixed up to make a driver or restored.

- The car apparently sat in the weather for years, & the interior is poor. The engine, head off, is seized up. I have a Silvertop 20V Toyota engine for installation, per John Pels of Houston, retaining Toyota ECU & fuel injection system as stock.
- Early stages of body off resurrection, NOT restoration. Wilwood hanging brake & clutch pedals. Plan is to totally rewire the car with C.B. protected busses for the various systems.
- I would be interested in knowing more of the car's history.

- Hi all,
- Mike Allen here in San Antonio, Tx.
- For many years I have dreamed of having a Europa and it looks like I am going to get my wish soon. I located a 70 that appears to be fairly complete and the body looks like it has never been violated. The suspension all looks like it came from the factory; no obvious repairs.
- The car is currently painted orange but according to the S/N information I have been able to track down it left the factory Bahamas Yellow (actually Lotus Yellow - ed.).
- Engine is still the R16 Renault with an aftermarket aluminum intake manifold (Hermes?) and a DCOE. I have not checked the engine S/N yet but I have no reason to suspect it is not the original. Original seats & inner door panels are missing as is the drivers wing window. (anyone have an extra?) Otherwise it looks complete and not hacked on. It also has 13" Panasports or Minilite wheels.
- Best of all, $1800.00.

Included,is a Hermes sidedraft Weber conversion kit,with the intake manifold,40 DCOE Weber,K+N filter,header,and muffler-a rare kit!IThe car is fitted with Yokohama tires on Panasport alloy wheels,both of which are excellent. Cosmetically,it has the usual spider-cracks,and needs paint. It needs to be gone thru-brakes need bleeding,the electrical system is not horrible,but needs attention-a good example that could be really nice without too much outlay. In addition,I will include a parts car-it has been stripped of most major components(except engine),and I will include all from that. A factory Europa manual is included. I have owned this for 20 years,and enjoyed it's ultra-precise handling very much.

- Has been off the road for about 7 years. (Trust me, it shows.) I have stored it in my garage (Does not quite explain the accumulation of dirt unless the roof had a hole in it),and started it quite frequently. The motor was rebuilt around 4,000 miles ago,and runs very well. It runs cool,and has good oil pressure (Hmmm,not sure how he would know that as the guage does not work). It is fitted with a downdraft Weber carb,and a K+N filter. Included,is a Hermes sidedraft Weber conversion kit,with the intake manifold,40 DCOE Weber,K+N filter,header,and muffler-a rare kit! The car is fitted with Yokohama tires on Panasport alloy wheels,both of which are excellent. Cosmetically,it has the usual spider-cracks (Along with major chunks of paint simply missing and at least two major cracks in the body),and needs paint. It needs to be gone thru-brakes need bleeding,the electrical system is not horrible (besides being forced to get down on my knees with a screwdriver to get it started and the fact that NOTHING electrical works),but needs attention-a good example that could be really nice without too much outlay. (Tell that to my body man).

Tires are new. stainless steel hinge pin kit has been installed in drivers door. Still has it's original ashtray, which always is missing from these cars. 90% original paint, no rust on chassis. Needs paint and some light interior work, mostly just a carpet and wood refinishing on the dash. One small wear mark on drivers seat but no tears in upholstery, door panels nice, headliner nice. Nice driveable car that would make a fun, easy project. Drive it home.

- This car recently came out of a heated shop where it was stored since 1993. The car shows 67,000 on the odometer and has the original Renault 4 cylinder motor married to a 4 speed transaxel. The motor and trans are original to the car as is verified by their numbers.
- After flushing all the fluids and performing some general maintenance on the car it started right up and idled smoothly (although the carb will need adjusting and cleaning from the long storage). I took a quick compression test and the cylinders all read between 160 and 168 . The engine wiring harness will need some sorting based on some wires requiring reconnecting (nothing butchered just needs tracing down and reconnected in the correct place).. The clutch feels fine (has plenty of pressure) and the car shifts well through all the gears. I also installed a new battery along with new platinum plugs. When stored new antifreeze was installed and it still looked new when I examined the cooling system before starting it. VERY strong running engine!
- The brakes will need attention after sitting for as long as they were (the rear brake pistons look like they had been replaced shortly before storage along with the passenger side half shaft). The car is silver in color with a black bottom edge trim as shown in the photos.
- The steel chassis shows NO sign of damage and looks to be rust free.
- Body: There is some checking and crazing in the top coat in various places. Overall the body is in good shape for the age and was probably saved from major abuse by being stored indoors since 1993.
- Interior: The seats are in pretty decent shape (silver and black). There is no carpet installed so the pan and trans tunnel are bare fiberglass (originally those areas were covered in carpet) although the carpet panel is present behind the seats on the rear bulkhead. The original dash was removed and aluminum panels were installed with the original gauges placed in the panels by a previous owner. This handiwork will need to be undone and the original wood dash re-installed if one wanted to go back original (the original wood dash is included but the vener is peeling). The wiring under the dash will also need sorting as the prior owner did not connect the wires back to their correct places so some of the switches work and others dont. I did check out the door window motors (by jumping out the correct wires) and they work fine.and the ventilation blower and electric cooling fan motors work fine.
- Tires and rims; The tires are in decent shape for tires that have been sitting for 19 years. I wouldn't use them for driving it though;:) The rims on the car are Shelbys. I do have a set of original Europa rims which are available in place of the rims currently on the car. Your choice but I will need a couple of days to get them swapped out before you can pick up the car.

I also was thinking about doing a conversion to a Mazda 13B rotary motor, purchased and stored for years also. Now, re-thinking that plan and thinking about installing the original renault 4 cyl motor. That motor needs sleeves but the other parts seem rebuildable. Xmission is original and all nbrs match dataplate.

- New baby here. I posted a video of my europa a few monthes back on YouTube. I've owned the car since 1993 and did a ton of work on it then. As you can see from the video I still have some electrical to do. Bouncing tach, broken speedo cable that was new when I worked on the car in 93. I've driven the car 1,000 miles since the work I've done. I start the car once a week and drive it around the block and sometimes to work 20 miles. I'm hoping to spend more time on the car this spring and summer. Mods are cool air intakes on the sides, lamans filler necks for the tanks, rear swaybar, stainless steel seat rails, stainless door pins, front air dam.

- After three and a half years and a great deal of help from this group my S2 is road worthy registered and insured! It was on the pavement today. I say two because the back half of the body is a 1969 S2 VIN 54-1767, while the rest of the car is a 1970 S2 VIN 7006190531R. I picked it up in pieces from Naples, FL. The Lotus Company archivist tells me that VIN 1767 left the factory June 16, 1969 and was sold by Lotus East, Millerton, NY. VIN 0531R left the factory September 22, 1970, in Royal Blue colors and was sold by Lotus Canada...maybe that's why there were all red tail lights in the parts box! The 1767 VIN plate was attached to the vehicle dash, but the plenum plate, body and doors all were marked 0531. Also the engine and transaxle serial numbers matched the plenum plate. What a great project leading to even a greater first ride with many more to come.

It has a custom built merged header and stainless muffler. Intake is a modified R17 TS. Denso Iridium plugs are used. It has remote oil filter and cooler. All oil, fuel and brake lines are aircraft braided. Trans is a 4 speed but car also comes with a 5 speed (was going to put it in but found it unnessessary) Tires are 195/50/zr15 front and 235/45/zr17 rear on 15x7 and 17x8 koening graphite rims. Shocks are coilover adjustables with adjustable damping. Suspension bushes are urethane when possible. Body work and paint are excellent/ new, chrome is new. Interior is new.

The only flaw is a broken speedo cable that needs replacing.

- Original color: L05 - Carnival Red
Condition:- Current color: Red
- It IS an S2. Warts, door handles, original sailplanes. The paperwork from the PO doesn't exactly clarify anything: the Indiana title lists it as a "71 Lotus, mfr's ID 0177R, type 2S". There is an ID plate (loose) that lists the unit number as 65/2285+, engine #0337, trans #00593. I do have the original Renault engine (totally disassembled, right down to the bare block) but haven't been able to dig down thru the pile enough to confirm the ID number on it. Is the number on the block?
- The black car(?) is confirmed as #0177, no issues there. The red shell carries a tag with unit #7007200580R, vin #0580R.

Condition:- Current color: Cirrus White
- From Last Owner:
- I purchased it on 11/03/05 for $850.00. Currently it is some shade of white. It had a poor re-spray at some point in life and is in desperate need of body repairs and a proper repaint. Had been sitting since 1979 when "it died". I was able to get the engine started the day after I brought it home by repairing the burned up coil wire, cleaning the plugs, cap and rotor and supplying fresh gas. Amazingly everything electrical works except the horns but basically seems to need a complete restoration. Currently I am looking to get the vehicle driveable so I can better assess the vehicle and situation.

Condition:- While in the US Air Force in 1971 at RAF Upper Heyford I bought a new 1970 federal Europa (0657R). After many adventures, it returned to the US with me, where I found out why the maintenance book (a coupon book which told you what service was needed each 3,000 miles,) expired at 60,000 miles. The car expired at 67,924 miles! and was given to a friend. I still have the tyres, wheels, some blocks and a RF S2 clip. The car was driven to work daily, raced, rallied, dragged, and entered in production car trials. I have plenty of wonderful memories!

- Has been a racecar since 1977 or earlier. I purchased it in the spring of 05 and have gone through it as it had not been raced since 2000. I am racing it in the Oregon SCCA vintage class and NORPAC series. The engine was built by Arnie Loyning and Dyno's at 102 hp. It has a full roll cage, adjustable Spax shocks, adjustable anti-roll bars, fuel cell, fire suppression system, rear fender flairs and is very cramped for a guy my size, ( I am 6'2") but is great fun to drive! The car was red when I bought it, but will be back from the painter tomorrow (4/10/06) in a tree frog green and black racing stripe scheme.
- Added 6/15/06:
- Here are a few pics from the Rose cup in Portland, Oregon last week. And a few in the driveway a few days after paint.

- Added 7/9/09: Had 821-30 #0008 engine from 541508 until last season. I now run the Gordini 807G motor, but I still have it as a spare.

- I'm listing this car on my wife's account. I purchased this car in 1988 & titled it in 1993. When I purchased the car it ran but had a hole in the side of the engine block. I ordered a used but identical bare block from Sports Car World in Texas.(receipts included). I used the original crank shaft & cylinder head after reconditioning them & had the engine rebuilt with new parts. I added an electric fuel pump. It ran great -That was in 1988! I had the interior redone, door panels, carpet , seats repaired, headliner replaced,laminated the wood dash, installed new door weatherstrip & replaced the door hinge bushings. Then it was parked in my garage. The car hasn't been started since 1997 !! I temporarily put a hot battery in it & cranked it over a couple of times. So I know the engine is not stuck. The fuel pump kicked on ,the power windows worked & the headlights & tail lights came on. The oil & antifreeze was full & looked clean (anti -40 degrees). The car has been 3 different colors with the original color being Bahama Yellow ,paint code L10. The car will need everything that a car which has been sitting for 15 years would need ! (brakes went through,fluids changed & flushed,steel gas tank cleaned, electrical components checked ,etc...) I have 2 sets of keys for every lock & they all work. All the glass is good (not cracked) What I know it needs- the tires are 24 years old, it needs a complete repaint of the body,fender mounted mirror is gone, complete wipers,the shifter needs put back together & reinstalled on the car with a new inner shifter ball part #046F6113 & a pair of shifter bushings part # 046F6153 from Sports Car World, headliner redone (material included),the center console is included but needs reinstalled , the axle seals are leaking going into the trans & the air breather is gone!! The car has 2 gas tank caps but only 1 tank on the drivers side! The rear trunk tray is included ! The S-2 badges are in the glove box. This car has sat outside only for 2 weeks in the last 24 years.(which is now) It should run fine with the right preparation but there are NO GUARANTEES.

- I purchase the car about year and half ago. It was owned by father/son who fixed up Europas and sold them to Japanese buyers in the 90's. This car was leftover from that and was stored in South Carolina for 6-7 years prior to me purchasing it. The car may be a genuine Else given the dual tanks and engine performance parts. I've sorted out the brakes and shift linkage and have fired up the motor. I still need to sort out some of the wiring to make it road worthy but its close!

- 60% complete. Totalled in a 1981 accident. Appears to have all necessary components to complete 0385R. Steel wheels, Renault engine & 4 speed transmission have been removed. Most suspension, axles and spindles are missing. Many parts (new & old) are in boxes with the car. Front end damage is extensive. Rear seems to be in good shape. Missing most emblems from previous customization. Appears to have been a JPS tribute/look-alike. Interior may be salvageable. Wrecked at 32039 miles.

- Basically it is a body only that was cut in half thru the cockpit. I bought it on eBay from Rochester NY. It had none of the VIN # plates, so may have been a rebody donor. The ID is from the crayon marking on the center tunnel and the Dymo label tape molded in the lip edge of the engine opening.

- I am honored, proud, and excited to announce that my Lotus Europa (0780R) will be joining the permanent collection of the Peterson Automotive Museum.
- When I first offered the car to the curator of the Peterson Museum, Leslie Kendall, I thought "It's a long shot, but wouldn't it be great if it found a nice home where it can live out it's best days, taken care of by the best curators and mechanics in the automotive museum culture, and admired by visitors from around the world?" Imagine my surprise when, on visiting for the first time, Leslie came bounding through my living room, saw the car sticking out of the garage and shouted, "It's a Federal! I HAVE to have this car!" How could I say "No." after that?

- From 7/2/06 ebay listing:
- 21465 original miles. Stored for a lot of years. Stored outside for some of the time so the car is in need of restoring.
- From 3/16/07 ebay listing:
- I purchased this car from the second owner last year. He acquired this Lotus on 12/04/80. She has sat in a climate controlled garage for a decade. All of the body looks really good. She is an original clean title, accident free Lotus in need of a new dad. I was planning on turning this into a barely street legal weekend track car, but I just have too many projects. My race mechanic thought it would only take about $1,500 to put her back on the road. I think that number is far to low...
- All data and VIN plates are present on the vehicle. Engine and transmission numbers match those found on the VIN plate, and they are presumed to be original.
- This Europa has a near rust free frame and being un-modified makes it an excellent candidate for restoration. With the S2's clean lines and with the affordable Renault drive, a fun, easy to maintain, supper lightweight mid-engined sports car in the Chapman tradition makes for a great restoration project! The actual weight of this Europa is only 1,410lbs. I can't think of anything you could put on the road that comes close to that.
- Interior needs new wood dash, dash cover, headliner and carpet. Brake hydraulics will need to be rebuilt, though the handbrake works. Fuel tank should be cleaned as a precautionary measure and the fuel pump will need to be rebuilt or replaced Rear wheel bearings and drive axles should be inspected and restored. Driver's door hinge needs repair and would likely benefit from the aftermarket stainless steel hinge pin kit.
- Though mileage is low for the year, the title states that mileage is 'Not required'. It's been my experience that Europa's with high mileage are the exception to the rule.
- Sold on ebay 7/2/06 for $2,247.22
- Last owner was in Beloit, Wisconsin, USA
- For sale on ebay 3/16/07

- As of 7/10/09 my wife and I became the owner of 823R we inherited it from a great uncle. I have always wanted a car to fix up (project) and this one fell into my lap so I jumped on it.
- History. I know the car was bought used at performance car imports of New Castle Indiana. I think the car was parked in running condition in a barn in 1983. It hadnt moved or been started since I pulled it out on 7/10/09.
- When I got it the engine was froze up and I have gotten it turning and it started a couple days ago and ran for about 1/2 a min (on starting fluid).
- Things that need attention work.
- 1. Fuel tank has holes and lots of sludge in it. Rust holes.
- 2. Brake pedal is on the floor and doesnt move.
- 3. Radiator is empty.
- 4. It needs a little fiberglass repair it has cracks down both sails.
- Overall I think its in pretty good shape drivers window works all other electronics work. Interior is good. Needs all new weather stripping. Needs new front windscreen its cracked right down the middle.
- I plan on a rolling restoration I dont plan on it being a show car just a fun driver.

- Car was frame striped and fully gone through everything. With only 34k miles and the interior completely weathered, we took the task to build a special edition, a resemblance of the type 47 and a aproach to a race car for driving in the street. We build a 3 piece aluminium dashboard, removable steering wheel, racer rear mirror, racing instrumentation and switching, 4 point seatbelts, and finished the interior with black leather, neuprene and yellow fabric. 4 Spaks in the corners, original engine with a Weber 45, high compression, grinded camshaft, oil cooler, ceramic headers, optic distribuitor trigger and more.

- This 1971 LOTUS EUROPA S2 project car has had fire damage. It was previously fitted with a Twin Cam engine and it suffered a carburetor fire which destroyed some of the fiberglass. The frame had been modified to accomodate the Twin cam engine and this car is still fitted with a Twin Cam Type 352 Four speed transmission, (which has been rebuilt and safety wired), and bell housing to adapt to a Lotus Twin Cam engine. This car has a clear Florida title and was a former street / track car. It has a roll bar and many upgrades. The rear hubs had been modified to use readily available wheel bearings which are much larger than stock. It also has the larger rear wheel studs. The front suspension uses tubular wish bones with the uppers being adjustable. The car is fitted with SPAX shocks and a competition type sway bar. The interior is mostly complete. The car has a VDO electronic speedometer and an Autometer tachometer. It also has a clear, unbroken windshield. This project car could repaired or used for parts.

- Purchased in 2002 from Wilson Motor Co. as a ‘rolling basket case’ with an 807 engine and 5-speed.
- Formerly owned by Peter M. Gray of Gig Harbor, WA.
- After a complete frame-off rebuild, I’m close to returning it to the street, with only engine parts challenges remaining. With experience racing an SCCA EP/DP Europa S2 in the late ‘70s in SF Region, I decided to build a lightened/enhanced/updated S2 incorporating aerodynamic down-force. The car weighs 1,200 lbs by replacing/simplifying the wiring, interior, dash and other components. Upgraded the wheels/tires to 15” dia. using wheel spacers and modest fender flares. It’s turned out quite well. Photos reflect ‘work in progress’.

- SCCA E/P prepared racecar. I don't have much details about the car as I have only had it a couple of months. From the fabrication notes I have it appears to have been built by Steve Harris. Accordiing to the log book it only completed half dozen or so races . It sports full NASCAR type cage making it very difficult for my 195 lb 5'11" frame to ingress and egress, but it does feel cozy once you wear it. Future plans for the car include auto-x, hillclimb and a possible vintage race or two. All depends how much longer I continue to road race my DSR. Other previous owners over the years include, Gary Stock, Les Bryant and Ken Burt. I bought it from Wire Wheel Classics. I am Also in process of rebuilding my Twin Cam Special which I have had since new in 73.

- I bought it this year in Scottsdale, Az. Although I live in Wisconsin, the Lotus is at my son's house in Arizona. So far we have cleaned it up some, as it was in storage for quite some time. The paint isn't as good as it looks in the pictures, but with some buffing it will be o.k. for a driver The engine is free, but we haven't run it. The dash needs the normal attention. Overall it seems like a solid car. It's quite the conversation piece sitting in the garage!
- We haven't decided if we are going to restore it or sell it. But every once and a while it receives a little more cleaning....and hopefully we will get around to getting the engine running soon.

- Basket case. This europa was part of a storage unit sale. It looks like someone planned to make a racer out of it. No engine or transaxle. Does have rear axles. Steering assembly appears to work. (When I turn the steering wheel the front assembly works). A steel roll cage has been installed. Has a fuel cell in the passenger area. No rear window. I have both doors, (altered to fit the roll cage). This car will need MAJOR bodywork (you can see daylight through the body panels in numerous locations). No rims or tires. Car is on a rolling platform that may go with the car for ease of loading. Loading is the buyers responsibility. I will help load the car. Mileage is unknown as the original dash is gone and a custom p.o.s. metal box is fitted.

- The car has sat for several years and the complete nature of the car will make this an exceptional car to make a banks replica or a restoration of this fine example. The car is a white exterior, black interior car with power windows. The car has a need for some glass replacement which is easy to come by. The car other than the glass issue is a very fine example. It was located in an area of the California dessert that receives less than 1/2 inch of rain a year. No rust issues for this car.

- I took delivery of the car yesterday.
- Although it's going to require a total frame off, from the ground up, nut and bolt restoration, I'm looking forward to it.
- Luckily, a neighbor friend of mine has fiberglass and paint experience.
- I have two options available.
- One is to restore it to factory specs and the other is to customize it. I talked to the previous owner and he suggested restoring it to factory specs. I think I'll take his advice. I may, of course, change the wheels and do some custom work on the engine (change out the Weber and put a pair of side draft Strombergs on it), add an oil cooler, and walnut the dash. Other than that, it'll be "Factory".

- Needs (the Bad):
- If car sits for 3+ weeks, oil pump seems to lose its prime. Thick Oil Treatment additive and synthetic oil has helped. Car is started and brought up to 2,000 RPM quickly to bring up oil pressure fast. Once running, pressure is fine.
- Needs repaint as original white color is showing in many spots
- Normal amount of stress cracks in fiberglass
- Interior needs carpet and dash needs new veneer
- Front radiator hoses should to be replaced, coolant tubes are OK.
- Overall car is pretty reliable. It gets a ton of looks and is fun to drive.

- 1280R spent it's existence in the Minneapolis, MN area.
- I bought 1280R in the spring of 1975. I built a custom, short throw shifter for it, built a custom Holley-Weber 5200/5210 carb (Pinto body/ Vega top/ re-jetted/ hot water auto choke), lowered the front suspension, installed adjustable SPAX shocks and mounted 185/60 tires... other than that, it was mechanically stock and original. I don't recall the mileage on the clock at either the time of purchase or sale, but I put approximately 180,000 miles on 1280R in the ten years I owned it.
- I sold it to Bob Evans late in Nov, 1985. He had it stripped and beautifully repainted Porsche Guard's Red, and drove it for a few years. Failing health forced him to sell the car, and the new owner intended to convert it to a racer. Unfortunately, sometime in the mid-1990's, the race shop it was in burned to the ground, taking the Europa and several other Lotus with it.
- 1280R is no more.

- Update 4/5/09:
- Following a toooo lengthy restoration, the Europa is back together and ready for the Australian Lotus club National get together. The motor is now an L block, ex race motor, with double Weber 45s. Still some jetting issues at normal revs, but sounds great. Suspension is lowered using AVO springs and shocks. I have a renewed brake servo as well, so everything else, including paintwork is original.
- Photo parked in front of a local park in the country town where I live. Pure coincidence it is called Europa.

- When I bought it in 1976, there were several plaques on it which said "Specially built for Eugene A Lawrence" who was purportedly a Jamaican.
- Now in a sorry condition - completely dismantled and hasn't turned a wheel for about twenty years, but partly restored with lots of new bits scattered around it in my garage.
- I put over 100,000 miles on it before I took it off the road just after I became self employed, which is why I have never had the time to put it back together.

- I'm currently in the process of getting the car ready for its local safety inspection prior to it being put on the road here in Canada. This has essentially comprised another mini-restoration process to make sure that everything is up to scratch. Its taken a while because I have been working abroad for much of the time but I'm hoping to get it checked over fairly soon now.

As invoiced:- Vin Number: 74/1512P
- Date Built: mm/1972
- Transmission #: ?
Condition:- Current color: Green
- For sale on ebay 2/10/10
- First Registered 08-05-1972 (Tax Exempt)
- Chassis No:1512P7204C
- Engine No : V26377
- MOT : Feb 2011
- History File of Invoices and MOT'S
- Finished in Lotus Pistachio (Lime Green) with a complete retrim in Black with contrasting Green Fabric by designer Paul Smitgh seat, door Inserts and roof covering plus new carpeting and crash pad.
- Numbers of Previous keepers 5
- Previous Owner:
- The last keeper of the car was ex Hill Climb Champion Barry Lines
- Mileage: 60182 miles
- Barry Purchased the car in 2002 and took the car of the road in 2003, the car was then stripped down with a view of refurbishment and changing the colour back from the red it was in to it’s original colour Pistachio.
- Due to racing commitments the project was placed on the back burner and that’s when I took over!
- So what has been done:
- On checking the car :
- It has had twin Spider tanks fitted back in 1991 (Invoice)
- Spax Gas adjustable all round, Stainless steel exhaust.
- New Steering rack.
- As the closures, glass was all removed along with the interior, bumpers, lighting and chrome the shell was repainted.
- Next a trip up to Europa Guru, Richard Winter at Europa Engineering in Southport with my parts List,this included:
- New Tinted Screen and Trim.
- Crash pad.,demister Grills, dashboard end brackets, centre console
- Complete Head Light units and fixings
- Caliper Overhaul kits
- Top wishbone spindles
- Wheel Bearings
- Master Cylinder
- Track rod ends
- Brake pipes Copper and flexible
- The next step was to send the complete Interior to Classic Car Specialist Trimmers Weavers of Withington Herefordshire
- The Engine had been turned over by hand on a regular basis and the cylinders oiled.
- The actual drive train was in excellent condition so it was not perceived a problem to run the car up once the build up process was complete.
- Subsequently on starting the car the water pump decided to leak!
- So as any Lotus Twin Cam aficionado will tell you, this means the removal of the Cylinder Head and sump to remove the front cover that carries the water pump, this job being made worse by the fore and aft location of the engine in the Europa meaning the front pulley is right up against the bulkhead!
- So a trip to local Lotus Specialist Paul Matty for water pump and gasket set and then a call to my local engine Guru Clive at Ace Motors Hereford.
- We took the opportunity to check the head and bores whilst it was off and the condition of both where excellent.
- Next It was a trip to Snowdon Auto Electrical in Hereford to get the electrics all functioning.
- So where are we now!
- The car turned a wheel for the first time just a week ago after 7 years in hibernation and surprisingly with very few problems!
- The engine pulled strong and the gear change for a Europa was not bad at all!
- There was Slight Judder at first when pulling off in first gear ( a common Issue with the cable gear change configuration on the model) I have adjusted the cable and it seems to be getting better all the time it is run and the cable is becoming more fluid.
- I adjusted the “Toe In “ and the steering and turn in came right to me !
- (These cars can really Handle)
- The brakes pulled up straight and true,I noticed that the car did not have a servo which might be why I thought it had more feel than another Europa I drove recently which I thought was a bit over the top ( especially in the wet!! )
- Overall condition: As Usual, I shall be as critical as I can (Please Read My feedback on other classic car sales.
Chassis: No problems with the integrity.- Body Shell and Paint work:
- The shell overall is in excellent condition , there is no crazing or delaminating and just a couple of little surface cracks .
- The paint finish its self carry an excellent shine and again only the slightest of micro blister on small area of the bonnet (I am being Hyper Critical! )
- None of the above takeaway from the overall excellent appearance of the car.
- Interior:
- Looks brilliant so 70’s so cool!
- Electrical:
- At the time of writing it all works, Windows included.!
- Drive Train :
- Excellent, Good oil Pressure and smooth valve gear, Excellent Transaxle with no wind up
- Overall Conclusion :
- These cars do not come up for sale very often and are highly (and quite rightly ) sought after both by the collector and enthusiast alike
- This particular car has had the best part of £6000 spent on her to get her through the re commissioning process and is now an excellent standard bearer for the breed.
- Finished in arguably the best Colour combination she attracts looks where ever she goes.
- So go on,get out your flares ,grow you side burns, but I suggests you leave your platforms at home as you will never operate the pedals!!
- I cannot think of a better way to enjoy classic motoring!
- Good Luck with the Auction and Thanks for Looking.
- Regards
- Dave.

- I bought this car 1988, the car was at that time newly imported from England. In june 1990 my brothers had an acident with the car and after that I had to renovate it for about 15 years.
- When I started to restore the Lotus I started with the seats. I took of the old clothing and suddenly just under the headrest I found a letter where some previous owner had written "Where is this car now?" complete with there adress and name. Unfortunately I dropped this letter so I have not had the opportunity to contact these people. The history of the car is always interesting. Maybe these people drop in on this site some day, I hope so!
- The car is now in very good original condition, except for a few glassfibre cracks. Read more about it and see pictures on my homepage.

- Nice and complete lotus restoration project, the engine was rebuild 10 years ago, never driven after that, so zero miles on the engine.
- Engine starts, idles and revs freely, no smoke (request videos). As far as i can tell the body and chassis are straight and undamaged.
- Ten years ago the car got new brakes, new clutch, new water pump, the car sat after that. It has only 27,242 miles on it.
Clean Texas title. Rust free car!! The chassis shows only signs of light surface rust.- The car needs complete sorting out, rear right wheel lower link bent (see photos), that's the way I got it, steering rack needs attention.
- Excellent original chromes, excellent glass all around, electric windows go up and down, all emblems there, gauges need sorting.
- Interior and paint see photos, all factory original, usual stress cracks on body, no big deal.

1/18/10- Just bought a 1974 Twin Cam VIN 74/2110R. The Pistachio body is perfect, but the car has been partially disassembled. The head has been pulled off the engine revealing that it had not been rebuilt, as previously thought. I do not know what the engine number is. Thus far items that are missing include the rear cross beam, the trailing arm mounts/bushings and reinforcement plates, the "tunnel top", rear hub bearings, and starter. Undoubtedly, I will discover that other parts have gone astray since the car was disassembled. Many of the components will need to be rebuilt before the car turns a wheel. Speaking of wheels, the car has slot mags.
PO: Email - Nevada City, California, USA - 4/17/08- No body damage or repairs, original engine rebuilt prior to 82-never started, stored since 82 in a barn in Santa Rosa, CA,. Recently acquired, restoration in progress. Looking for all rear suspension and axles?

- This 1972 Lotus Europa Twin Cam is a great winter project. It was last driven in October 1975 when the timing chain let go. The owner had the engine completely rebuilt by Phase 4 Machine, reinstalled it in the car and then never finished putting the car back on the road. The engine has been oiled and turns freely. The car was kept on blocks in a garage until recently. The rebuilt engine and new clutch have zero miles. The car itself has only 36,873 miles. Only two owners have owned it. A small number of spare parts including a complete set of never used hub caps are included in the sale. Owners manual and workshop manual are also included. $6,500

Condition:- Current color: Red/black interior
- I am the second owner. I had the minor crack in the rear repaired and the car painted. I chose burgundy over the original electric orange. There are four coats of color and two of clear. The glass is clear and scratch free. The interior is in great shape considering the age. There are no cracks in the seats. The car was garaged until I bought it. I have the original 1971 license plates. The wheels were cleaned and painted. The tires are serviceable, but should probably be replaced within a few thousand miles. The doors have new seals. The brakes work fine and do not pull one way or the other. The engine runs well as does the transmission. Shifting is smooth and crisp. The engine is the Big Valve version and has plenty of power.

- The car is missing the windshield and the gauges. It is presently painted like JPS with the required gold pin stripe. All the wheels were frozen up. 3 flat tires and had to have some help to DRAG it on the trailer (cut one of the front brake lines and got 3 of the tires to roll . Let’s see found a petrified cat in the passenger foot well and lots of raccoon poop. The interior had been removed, refinished and stored inside. Well so far it has washed up nice and getting the neighbor kid to clean the interior out of all the debris and carpet. The next step is to get it on our lift to check out the bottom. I have more information on it from the late 70’s as it is from the St. Louis area, I don’t have that with me today but can add it later.

- The history on the Lotus is interesting and when I came across the car, I bought it because I decided it simply had to be fate. Since you collect stuff on the Europa, you might have come across a piece in the March 27, 1989 issue of Autoweek. They used to run a column on the last page called Escape Road that wrote up interesting car stories. This one was about a father and son who fixed up an old gold leaf edition Europa with some special ground effects designed and built by Clark Lincoln, a GM design engineer. At the time I thought it might be neat to someday do this myself, so I stashed the article away in a folder.
- Then in late 1996 I was cruising Woodward Avenue, looking in at various exotic car stores because I had time to kill before a business meeting. I had recently sold the Porsche and a Triumph GT-6 that followed it, and was looking for a new toy. A Lotus Esprit caught my eye as I drove by a shop I had never seen before called Auto-Europe. I pulled over to look in the window to see a Lotus 23 and a nicely restored MGA in the showroom with the Esprit. They weren't open yet, so I came back after my meeting, confirmed that I really don't fit into an Esprit (I'm slim, but 6'3") and took the MGA for a spin. I told the salesman, Eric Shick, that I was really interested in a Lotus and asked if he know of any available. He had an Elan Plus 2 that he was restoring, but wanted to unload, so I agreed to meet him later at their shop in Pontiac. I showed up early and "tried on" a Europa that was there for service, and surprisingly it fit like a glove. Eric arrived a few minutes later, screaming in to the lot in a Lotus 7. I looked at the Plus 2 and told him I wasn't interested in that much work, but asked if he knew of any Europas for sale. He said he wasn't sure, but he thought a customer, Clark Lincoln, might be looking to unload his Europa, which Erik himself had owned twice before selling it to Clark.
- I connected up with Clark and he explained how he had built the molds and fabricated the fiberglass ground effects as a styling exercise (he later sold the molds to some guy in Pennsylvania who tricks out Europas with a spyder frame and twin turbo Mazda rotary engines) [Note: The guy Erroll refers to who bought the ground effects molds is Jerry Fink of Laminar Concepts in Media, Pa. He introduced the body kit as the "Evolution Europa" in 1999 and it was reviewed in the July, 1999 issue of Lotus reMARQUE. It also appeared in the July 2001 edition of Kit Car Magazine.].
- After putting that much work into the body Clark decided to fix up the rest. When he got he car from Erik, the frame had been "bent" (don't know the specifics), but I think that is why he used it for a styling exercise. He decided to swap out the frame entirely for a straight one, and kept the original engine, transmission, etc. After meeting Clark that first time, I went rummaging for the article I had stashed away seven and a half years earlier, made the connection, decided this had to be fate, so I bought the car.
- It had an aftermarket sunroof in it that I didn't want, so I spent the winter stripping out the custom interior and dash Clark had built, rewired the car totally from scratch, removed the sunroof and closed off the hole with fiberglass, and built my own custom dash. That next summer when I started driving it, I found it too difficult to get in and out of, and once inside, I was slouching and messing up my back. Then came that day when I was leaning against the wall in my garage, staring at the car with a jig saw in hand, muttering "cut it or sell it" repeatedly to myself."
- [Note: Erroll began a redesign in 2005 but parted the car out in April of 2006.]

- This car has had a total frame-off nut and bolt restoration. I have owned it for just over twenty years. The lengthy restoration was completed in January 2011.
- The car was originally ordered and delivered in England to a USAF pilot that was stationed there in the 1970's. He died in 1976 before returning to the US from a Swine Flu Shot. The car was then shipped from England to the state Florida in the US. It sat a his widows house for several years. The car then went to the Detroit, Michigan for another few years before I bought it and had it shipped to OH in November 1990.
- The original color was blue with black interior. It is now Ferrari Red with black interior. The original Engine has been replacde with a BDS Twin Cam Type B. It has a 4-speed transmission.

- Unmolested 1972 Lotus Europa Twin Cam with only 40,294 total miles. An original New Mexico car with no rust issues, it has spent its life in a dry climate and inside my heated shop since I purchased it about a year ago from a good friend in New Mexico. It runs great and drives great. The handling is just amazing - even on its Yokohama A008 tires that look almost new (only 500 miles, but are almost 20 years old)! My friend owned the car since 1989 but did not drive it much. And, after getting my old beat-up body in and out of it with my bad knees and back, I now understand why!! It's a really fun car to own and drive and a real attention-getter!
- Body Condition: The paint looks good but does have the usual gelcoat stress cracks. There appears to have been some minor body damage at some time around the right front headlight (see closeup picture) since there are more cracks there, but I see no evidence of major damage and I found none noted in the extensive maintenance records. (I have complete maintenance records with the car that go back to the original purchase date!) Other minor stress cracks are on the front and rear deck lids - just the usual for a Europa. All glass in the car is perfect. The interior is very presentable in the original "oatmeal" color upholstery. The carpet is worn on the driver's side floor and covered with a mat. Door panels look good but have wear around the edges. The seat covers are very good with one seam torn on the lower left of the driver's seat. The interior trim around the windshield looks sloppy - I'm not sure what's supposed to be there, but I don't think it's original. The headliner is very good. Doors open and shut perfectly. The wooden dash has some surface cracking and "curling" - appears to be laminate, but I think it's a solid wood dashboard (?). The top dash cover is warped somewhat, but not cracked or broken. A previous owner installed the glove box door at some point, which works fine, but isn't original. I don't know what kind of wheels are on the car (Triumph maybe?), but they look great and I added the sexy Lotus logos on the hubcaps!
- Running gear: The car starts easily and runs great - it idles rough until warmed up but then smooths out and revs and idles great. Lots of power for a 1600 cc engine! The engine suffered a broken timing chain at 33,000 miles and was professionally and completely rebuilt with new valves and guides, bored .020 over with new pistons, rings, and bearings and all done right. The original carburetors were replaced with SU's at some point. Have the original carbs with the car. My buddy spent a ton of money on the brakes, replacing both power brake boosters with new Lockheed units. The brakes work pretty well, but still need attention, I think - it's probably the wheel cylinders which just need going through. They were rebuilt - not many miles, but YEARS ago, so I suspect the rubbers have gotten hard. No major oil leaks on the car except from the d*#m transaxle shifter. I think they ALL leak there! The shifter works well (once you learn the technique!), but I'm sure the bushings need replaced for a "crisper" shifter feel. No other fluid leaks - gas, brakes, or water. The gauges work except the fuel gage - my friend said it worked when he had it - Lucas strikes again! I have not spent time trying to get it to work, but I expect only a bad connection somewhere. There are NO major issues with the car. It needs only minor tinkering to make it mechanically perfect.

- I think the history was Sean Tanner sold the car to Vancouver BC Canada in 2006 and I brought the car in August 2008 and shifted to my residence in Toronto Canada.
- A frame off restoration was commenced in 2001 through 2002 by PO. Body was stripped to bare fiberglass then professionally re gel coated and resprayed in Glasurit 3 stage base, mid and clear coat in orange.
- Chassis was sand blasted, inspected, primed and repainted. All brakes and steering assembly were rebuilt. Front suspension was rebushed and the front springs were replaced with AVO shocks with ride height adjustment. The front rotors have been replaced with Brembo cross drilled rotors. Rear suspension is stock but the brakes have been relined. The tyres are almost new Yokohama AVS 185 60R 13's.
- The door pins have been replaced by custom brass pins which will prevent any seizing problems. All new door and window seals are installed while bumpers have been re chromed to a very high quality.
- Motor was rebuilt by Lou Devries in Sioux City. Bored 3 thou over with new pistons, rings, valves, water pump, smoothing to chambers to aid airflow. The headers are custom and fashioned after the headers of the Lotus 47 and are ceramic coated. The strombergs have been rebuilt and now have B1Y needles, K & N filters, new electric fuel pump with a fuel regulator.
- The fuel tanks have been replaced by custom polished stainless steel units complete with new fuel sending unit.
- Gearbox has had all new seals and gear change mechanism has had new bushings. New clutch, clutch cable and pressure plate have all been replaced.
- When I owned the car in 2008 many parts appear to have general wear and tear on all these years after restoration so I decided to perform a throughout detailing on all necessary mechanical and cosmetic parts.
- I changed all front and rear bearings Gear lever oil seal and master brake cylinder and new Goodridge stainless steel brake hoses.
- A new set of Minilight wheel and tyres was put in to give a more sporty look and handling.
- I spent the whole summer of 2009 to finish the Interior with new Burl Walnut dash, new upholstered seats, new central console and armrest set up, new seat belts and carpet.
- All panel wiring was re altered according to factory set up and all lights and gauges functioned.
- The next step I will be installing a Weber DCOE head with 2 40DCOE carbs to see if it help uprating performance.
- I participated in October's British Car Day in Oakville Toronto and was awarded 2nd place in Lotus group.

Just purchased a basket-case resto project. New to the marque but have had a secret desire since high school many years ago. Anyways, I picked a fairly do-able project, a '72, yellow (L07 ?) Twin Cam. Doesn't appear to have ever been bent or in an accident. The motor has been completely freshened by R.D. Engineering I believe. Chassis number is 72052301R.- Photos

- Has undergone a "driver" body-off refurbishment. In other words, it's been done more for function than appearance, and without too much attention to originality. It's by no mean a concours car, but on the other hand it's not a mess either.
- The car is now insured, registered, passed its State Inspection and is fully road-legal.

- Hello your [sic] bidding on a 1972 Lotus Europa. Runs good but needs brakes to be worked on & the clutch isn't working. I think its stuck. Its original 47000 miles and no rust in it, the interior needs a good cleaning as for the paint if you wanted a show car then paint it.

Condition:- Current color: BRG/yellow stripes
- Alas after close to 2 years of slow progress, I am giving up on getting my TCS back on the road. Lack of funds and declining health plus the constant use of my Lotus as evidence of my vast wealth (anyone figure that one out?) make this a sad occasion. The car is complete and was running just fine until 2 years ago when the head gasket blew as it was heading out of RS Motorsports. After a lot of time and energy I got the head off to find that the bores were scored and it should have a rebore. I got a little further with the disassembly before bigger issues got me sidetracked. The wheels are off and the front brakes are off as these really needed a rebuild also.
- The car has twin Webers and a lightweight flywheel. It was completely rebuilt around a Spyder chassis by the PO in the early part of the decade: I have had it just about 4 1/2 years. Originally metallic blue, the car is BRG with a wide yellow stripe running down the center of the body. Looks better than it sounds. It has some nice wheels - also yellow. I have much of the receipts for the new parts that the PO put in - For what it is worth they spent a lot of money. It is 4 speed and I have a spare 4 speed gearbox that the PO bought and sold to me.
- Not that it guarantees anything but the car was never abused by me. If anything it was not driven enough by me or the PO.
- It needs some TLC for sure, from someone who wants a project.
- Its a sad day but I have to be realistic about it getting out on the road under my ownership.

Condition:- This body has the remains of 74 / 2565R (Unit# 72082565R) glassed on in the form of a long full nose replacement. I am trying to track down the last registered owner. The title was misplaced during several "project car" status transfers all done with little more than a bill of sale. The last registered owner could therefore apply for a duplicate and provide it to me. It is currently awaiting restoration or parting out dependent on the title search. Its engine has already gone to a vintage racer who needed a period correct block. It will be Zetec / Duratec powered if it is rebuilt.

- 5/19/12 - Robert Collum (SCC)
- I bought Europa Twincam 2481R in 1980, from the St. Louis Lotus dealer, Dan Gurney’s Checkpoint America. It was my only car from 1980 until about 1985. I bought the car with about 20,000 miles on it, and by the time I sold it in March of 2001, to a guy named Bill from outside of Detroit, I have put at least another 100,000 miles on it. I had the engine rebuilt twice, and had a complete restoration done by a company called Shadowflight in Seattle, back in 1990. At that time, they added the gray rockers, modeled on the later Twincams, below the doors, and frenched in the side marker lights, along with painting the car a non-original pearlescent white. They also did a complete interior refresh, with a new walnut dash, good-quality leather for the seats, and Wilton-style gray wool carpeting. Later, I had an insert made for my wife – a single piece that replaced the seat-bottom squab with one much thicker, to raise her up, and a seatback that curved more naturally, with a wood dowel that you tucked under the headrest. It was a good-looking, excellent solution for the shorter driver.
- The car has a 4-speed trans, but I swapped it for another 4-speed when the teeth broke in 1999 or so, therefore the trans # will not match what it originally came with.
- Attached are some pictures I have, first, of the buyer ‘Bill’ (I don’t recall his last name, and have not heard from him since – I fear what might have happened to the car, as I loved it, but had no place to store it.) The other pictures are of me driving it one last time to meet the shipping trucker, and signing to have it shipped to the new owner in Michigan.
- I hope we find that the car found an owner who will take care of it.

- No news on the Europa yet, I passed the details on to my friend who was looking to buy it but he is playing the waiting game. The history is that it was bought from the guy in the US on ebay and shipped over here, it was then parked up on an industrial site and left out in the elements, not registered or put on the road. The site is now being cleared for development and the site owner wants it gone but the current owner feels it must be worth double what he paid for it by now! Unfortunatly it has deteriorated and is probably only worth a few thousand, so unless the owner wakes up and does a deal quick it will be cleared with the site! sheer madness! I have included a few photos of it as it stands now with rotten tyres, peeling paint and full of water (what a shame).

- Update 9/25/09
- I bought this Europa to restore and drive. I've had it for a tad over two years. I haven't been able to finish it because a degenerative disc problem in my neck effectively keeps me from getting into the car! I've spent at least 8000.00 on this wonderful car, but even if I could finish it, I won't be able to drive it.
- I've had it stripped and painted it a single stage PPG red with PPG clear over it( the original color was white, but was poorly painted red when I got it).. The fuel tanks are custom aluminum made to match the original size and location of the rusty steel originals. I added an electric fuel pump as the mechanical pump was inop; I kept the mechanical pump though, I assume it is rebuidable. I had the master cylinder rebuilt by White Post Restorations. I re-veneered the instrument panel with walnut used new labels as original and covered both with many layers of clear. The part of the frame I could access was scraped and painted. I made a new aluminum skid plate as original.
- The exterior is smooth and straight. While not a show car finish, it's quite presentable and could be repolished to be even better.
- The interior is great except for the driver's floor carpet and a small tear in the driver's seat near the headrest. The carpet is a simple black loop pile that should be easy to match- the rest of the carpet is fine. Door panels are fine.
- The tires are good, the spare is a matching alloy wheel.
- The car is VERY complete. The trim not visible in the pictures is there and in good condition. Locks, latches, lights, window motors, glass, console and parcel bin are good and are ready for installation. The original air filter and even the jack (in its original bag) are included.
- Included but not yet installed are seals and fuzzy strips for the door windows.
- To finish and put on the road the car needs: a new battery, a rebuild kit for the Strombergs or a carb conversion and reinstallation of the exterior and interior trim.
- Two more things are worth mentioning. The doors are sagging and need the adjustment common to most all Europas. They do close now.
- Although I have had the car running and have moved it enough to make sure the clutch and trans function, I haven't had it on the road, I can't vouch for its mechanical condition. It has been my belief that once the carbs were rebuilt, it would be in good shape mechanically.

- This 1972 mid-engine GT coupé Type 74 Europa Twin Cam features the a 126 hp (94 kW) aspirated by Dell'Orto carburetors, a Renault 4-speed gearbox (Type 352) Power Windows and a re-designed body shell to improve rearward visibility. ONLY 1,580 (? ed) cars were shipped as the Europa Twin. It weighs in at a lightweight of Only 740 kg (1631 lb), had a top speed of 123 mph (198 km/h), did 0–60 mph in 7.0 seconds, and ran the 1/4 mile in 14.9 sec when new. The Europa was designed and built to be an embodiment of Chapman's oft-stated philosophy of automotive design: "Simplify, then add lightness." Because of this & 4 WHEEL INDEPENDENT Suspension the car's handling prompted automotive writers to describe the Europa as the nearest thing to a Formula car for the road.

4/2/08:- I bought Europa #2556R from VIP Classics in San Diego. I hope the car's nice condition (I know it has some paint checking and this should be fixed). I'll send you pictures once I receive the car ( 5-6 weeks...) I'm a huge Esprit fan (I've owned 10 of them, 4 currently) and it's the first time I explore another Lotus model & buying in the USA - car "unseen".

- I bought the car last year around March/April in San Diego and waited until September to have it delivered to me here in Geneva, Switzerland. As it arrived it was in a very poor condition, far from how it was described. However it was a very untouched car, very original despite its condition and I knew I could bring it back to life correctly and that I would look VERY nice once finished. So here we go after a full repaint, servicing and many new parts.

The title was misplaced during several "project car" status transfers all done with little more than a bill of sale. The last registered owner could therefore apply for a duplicate and provide it to me. It is currently awaiting restoration or parting out dependent on the title search. Its engine has already gone to a vintage racer who needed a period correct block. It will be Zetec / Duratec powered if it is rebuilt.

- I used to own Europa Special 73072148P.
- I started the restoration work on it, & judging by the photographs virtually nothing else has been done to it, apart from deterioration.
- The photographs do not show the registration number, but if you have records, it's TYU 539M.
- I'd be interested in learning of it again.

- Since October 2006 I have been the proud owner of a 1975 Lotus Twin Cam Special, registration number OGV 349P, chassis number 74082382P, engine number R32245. It is at present British Racing Green (as can be seen from enclosed photo) but was originally white, it has covered approximately 70,000 miles.
- It is in great condition and is a real head turner, especially when it ‘pops’ on deceleration. After owning it for over a year has caused me little grief (famous last words!). I would love to know more about the history of the car and have run through the limited amount I know, listed below.
- I bought the car for £7000 Oct ’06 from a Barry Glendinning of Stockton on Tees, UK.
- He bought the car for £12,000 Sept’ 05 from a chap called Stinson from Great Holland, Essex, UK.
- He bought the car from a chap called Giles of Clacton on Sea, Essex, UK who in turn bought the car in 1991 for £7750 from a J E Haydon of Salisbury, Wiltshire, UK.
- Then the trail goes cold. If anyone is aware of any gaps in tracing the history of this great motor then that would be great.
- The only item on the car, (which has had a lot of work carried out by Banks Europa) which lets the side down as a poor quality steering wheel. If anyone can enlighten me as to where I could get the existing wheel refurbished or I could get a new/reconditioned wheel I would be keen to know.

- This is a body an part of the chassis from a Lotus Europe. He had an impact in the back like u can see on the picks. It has been standing with somebody who would repare it 'some day'... This has been more then 20 years now :-) This person has deceased a few years ago now. The house has collapsed by the tooth of time. So some of the parts are missing. All you see on the pics is included. No more, no less...
- The papers are also lost in the house. But all tags of registration are present in the car. So to retrieve them couldn't be any problem. It is an original Belgian car built in the factories of Ghent Belgium.

- Big Valve Motor, 5 speed gearbox. Original Lotus rims. Purchased this particular vehicle from Lismore, NSW in February 2005. The seller had owned the car for approximately 4 years, and during this time had re-uphostered the interior. The car all over was in fairly good condition. He had purchased the car from a friend in Singapore, where the car had been for many years. When in Singapore the car was repainted red, originally it had been black with gold pin stripes. Due to the humidity in Singapore, the car was fitted with an air-conditioner, but the heater was removed. Since owning the car I have redone all the suspension, refitted the heater, fitted stainless steel water pipes to the radiator, replaced front and back wheel bearings, had the head re-conditioned, hardened valves and seats, so I do not have to put additives in to the fuel. I have tidied up the engine bay and tried to get it as authentic as possible.

- In 1974 I owned an Lotus Europa Special (I bought it new by the Lotus Dealer Dauwe in Ghent Belgium), the chassis nr ended with 1366Q, the colour was yellow.
- I had it for 18 months and I drove it for 40000 km (25000 miles), because I was young (23 years) I drove it rather fast.
- The car was present at my wedding (see picture) and then we made a honeymoon trip with the car to the south of France.
- But then came our first child and I decided to sell the car (I still regret that foolish act, not the child but selling the Lotus)
- I also sold the car because of my fast driving the engine was getting used and began to use oil, I also had got trouble with the rear suspension (bearings) and I then didn't have the money to get it fixed, as a young married couple we had other needs.
- The car was sold in 1975 to a Dutch, and I had never saw or heard about it again.

- From ebay 3/11/12
- This is a Europa Twin Cam that was rescued from an estate sale in 2003 - at that point it was only 30 years old and purchased for under $1000 looked like a great deal to me. My second Lotus. More details on purchase.
- This car has had a full body lift off, and been stripped of 2 previous paint jobs. Frame has been repaired in a few areas where rust was a problem ( pedal bolt down area) and battery area. Frame was sand blasted, and coated with Chassis paint. Engine has been rebuilt. with new valves. new guides, new pistons ( .050) over, all new bearings, rods, crank & cam. Clutch and Pressuer plate. Carburators were not salvagable and replaced with Stromberg 1.75SU found on E-bay. Wheels were soruces on E-bay and are Appliance type 7' wide rear and 6' fronts. Tires are 205-60R13 rears and 175-70R13 front, tires are like new. Interior has been completely redbuilt, seat frames are from another Europa and repaired and totally recovered. Special features - no brake booster cylinders, VW master cylinder, and brakes work great. Notice no door handles, but doors are manual - stick your arm in and open from inside ( sorta like an old Austin Healey) hidden switch to lower the window. Adjustable from sway bar. New Spax shocks and adjustable springs. Front A-arms are adjustable. Rear arms are adjustable and new.
- I am selling this because I am too old and too fat to get in enjoy the drive. Once in, it is a very confortable driving position. It is also a Lotus, and that means a long term comittment. These cars are fragile and require work on a regular basis. There were several mistakes made on this rebuild, that could have eliminated some of these, I will be happy to provide these if interested. No Heater blower - would you really drive this in the winter? New Aluminum radiator, electric fan and ss screen to block tire throw up to protect it.
- This is the a great car it just needs a little help to become a real collector car.
- Please note - all emission control aids have been removed from this car. There is no emission testing in my area.

- Very Good.
- This is a survivor with only one owner from new. 37,000 miles on the clock.
- I purchased the car in USA from the first owner in 2004, and had it shipped to Norway soon after.
- The car had been stored for several years , so a lot of work was needed to get it back to road again.
- This involved total brake overhaul, replacing leaking seals and rubber hoses, new tires and several other problems that needed to be fixed.
- But the exterior and interior was in very good original condition, so nothing had to be done there.
- Today the car is reliable, and great fun to drive.

- Transmission #: ?
- Original color: L12 - Lagoon Blue
Condition:- Current color: Red
- The car is a driver and is currently under restoration.
- Sold on ebay 6/29/11
- This 1973 Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special was purchased new on 4/13/73 from Marco Competition Enterprises, the Lotus dealer in Montclair, New Jersey.
- This Europa is in very nice condition and it is evident that previous owners devoted significant attention in maintaining and preserving this car.
- The twin cam engine runs strong with no smoke or unusual noises while the 4-speed gearbox shifts tight and smooth through all gears; even reverse engages easily; something of a rarity among the Europas I've driven!
- The clutch works great and the brakes are fine although as is typical, the vintage Girling brake booster while present, is currently bypassed.
- The steering is light and tight and both the chassis and suspension are damage and rust free with newly fitted Konis up front and Spax shocks at the rear with height adjustable spring seats.
- The interior is in very good condition overall but does need some finishing details. The seats have no rips or splits. A new wood dash has been recently installed though some wiring details remain (the electric window switches and interior lights, etc.) and need to be finished. The dash pad was removed during the installation of the new dashboard and is missing but a replacement is readily available from any one of the various Lotus specialists in the US and worldwide.
- The headliner is in very good condition as are the rest of the interior trim, carpets and door panels.
- The original Lotus steering wheel is present and the luggage compartments both front are rear are clean with the rear luggage bin intact.
- The body is in very nice condition with no significant stress cracks or signs of collision damage. The paint has a very good gloss overall with a minimal amount of the usual chips and scratches although there is an area along the lower window line of both doors that shows evidence of perhaps some spilled trim adhesive or solvent. The glass all around is in excellent condition.
- The original Lotus alloy wheels are all in very good condition. (including the original Lotus alloy spare rim)
- A great opportunity to own a low mileage classic Lotus Europa Twin Cam that looks great and can be driven while finishing the various details.
- The car has a clear New Jersey title and is garaged in central NJ about 35 miles from NYC and just 18 miles from Newark Liberty Airport.

- From ebay 7/7/09
- Project or parts car – completely disassembled. Believed to be a complete car – may be a few pieces missing, but I have spares. Clear Ohio title.
- Over $6500 in body/paint work – BEAUTIFUL! Rebuilt firewall. Stainless door hinges.
- Frame was chemically dipped then painted in POR15 paint.
- New windshield – tinted Triplex brand as original. Original door and rear glass.
- New Carpets. I have lettering for dash once the fascia is re-veneered.
- Rebuildable Twin Cam engine – used -- dirty outside, but well oiled inside. Crank turns freely and you can feel compression.
- Type 365 5-Speed transaxle from a 19k mi car.
- Factory alloy wheels in decent shape - old Michelin and Dunlop tires (plenty of tread but I wouldn't drive on them!)
- Many parts should be refurbed before installation, but I believe they’re all here.

- I had a 1973 Europa Special # 2888R. It was in the JPS colors, (Black with the gold pin striping & Black interior) with the special JPS number disk 021. I bought the car new from Sporteque Motors in Huntington LI, NY. I had replaced the original wheels with mini lights, and put Dunlap SP/SUPERS (I think that was the name) 205/60/13 on it in all four conners. This was back in 74 when the lower ratio tires started coming out. The car burned down in 1982.

- 2935R was totaled by the owner of the dealers body shop in St. Louis in May of 1973, I didn't even have the car for 60 days and put only a few thousand miles on it. I guess it is possible the car may have been salvaged. When I saw it, the left front wheel and tire were crunched into the drivers seat! That car was featured in the 1973 St. Louis Auto Show.

- It is located in Western Massachusetts, and is a complete mess. The engine is missing. Parts laying all around. Although it looks like a JPS, I have been told that it isn’t, by the original owner. It was for sale, but is now off the market apparently. I am not sure of the name of the owner as it is located at a rental property and the tenant let me take a look at it. I went to take a look at it on 5/12/11.

- The photos were taken in 1975 and somehow finally discovered in the attic during the subsequent move of a relative. I thought you would enjoy these treasured relics of a lifelong Europa fan. I wish my choice in wardrobe were a little more suitable, but then again the fashion of the day supported the ridiculous look.

- What was I thinking on the road by 2007 the car is 90% complete and driving, a 3 year house renovation stopped the build and the enthusiasms so the car sits in the garage which is a shame as I really want to enjoy it.
- Since my last entry I put the whole puzzle together and it looks a million dollars I will updated the photos on this site with some new ones, the seats are covered in leather and all I require is trimming to finish.
- History
- Undergoing a complete rebuild. The plan is to have it back on the road by 2007, it will be a different colour not decided yet but the body is in good condition with all crazing removed ready for the paint stripping treatment.
- Update 6/10/07:
- The car is now a rolling chassis with only the shockers to renew. All components and nuts and bolts are new or fully rebuilt including an unused steering rack possibly one of the last around. I also made some adjustable rear lower links to get rid of the original links which were bent to adjust the rear camber!
- Update 1/23/08:
- Chassis is complete and the body has had a full restoration color Orange from the lotus color chart on your site, looks a million dollars in its new paint. Being an ex US car it has been fully converted to RHD and I have had the American style dash replicated for RHD.

Runs just fine, a real head turner, keep it in the garage and ride on no rain days. Replica of JPS but no plaques which was a disappointment after purchased and researched. Car looks like it was originally painted black with pin stripping on restoration. Read car history paperwork and restored to look like JPS from 2nd original owner.

- Original color: L15 - Black Gloss
Condition:- I purchased the car from Janus Mays in Amarillo, TX. Janus was the original owner of the car from new. She was auto crossing an MG back in '74, and tired of getting beat. She drove to Metarie, LA, and bought 3028 from the dealer there, and drove her home. That's minimum, 9 HR drive...ea way!
- 3028 is a "real" JPS car, and wears # 050 on her dash. Janus' crack mechanic put SU's directly on the head. As the fuel tanks had some rust, he threw them away, and installed a very large fiberglass wound tank where the boot box was. He threw that away too!
- I have just replaced the SU's with proper Strombergs, replaced the tanks with the proper ones, and put the boot box back in.

Condition:- 1/3/11
- Right now I am finishing up a side impact bar assy. and then the interior and trim go in.
- The major report is the apparent success of my turbo system I built. I have 10 miles on the car driving around the neighborhood without doors, windows or any of that extra stuff. The performance of the car is incredible, I've only hit 5,200 rpm and saw 2 psi boost.
- The turbo system is designed to run at 7 psi boost (165 HP target) sucking through a Holley (ya, I know...) 350cfm 2 barrel. This carb setup is what the VW guys use. At 3 psi boost the power valve is opened to dump extra fuel during high boost (the power valve was modified to work on psi rather than vacuum) and also has an externally adjustable main jet. I have an O2 sensor in the exhaust and an air fuel meter in the ashtray (didn't dare violate the ashtray !)
- Timing is locked out at 32 degrees so there is absolutely zero turbo lag. I know the purists may be disappointed but I really haven't done anything to "butcher" the car other than reinforcing both deck lids.
- I'm really going pretty hot & heavy on it & hope to have completed this summer.

- Stored since 1981
- Restoration Started
- Made the 100 yard dash (up and down my street) under her own power and saw 1st thru 4th gears for the first time since 1978ish! The chassis and engine have been completely rebuilt and the body has been stripped, primed etc. The car will be going to the painter soon then I can do the interior and wiring. I expect to have her on the road by this summer!

Condition:- Current color: Primer
- From Craigslist ad: 1973 Lotus Europa Special. Serial 73013040R. Five speed twin cam. The car is currently undergoing ‘sympathetic restoration’ to make it a decent driver. Good frame and body. A poor re-paint has been removed and the car is in primer ready for finish and paint. A sunroof was removed and the original panel fit back in. Minor stress cracks in the usual places have been filled. Suspension and brakes are being redone as required. New ball joints, trunnions, tie rod ends, caliper kits etc. Interior is stripped out and the dash is re-veneered. All original parts used where possible. Some carpet is to be replaced and seats are re done with original covers. New headliner. Engine has not been run in sometime and condition is unknown, although it has apparently been rebuilt. Car is complete and includes what parts I have accumulated so far. Also available is a set of MWS [minilite type] wheels. $6500 US. Restoration will be ongoing and so as progress is made it will be priced accordingly. Pictures of car as bought and some progress photos available on request. 778-997-1727, Vancouver, Canada

- Somewhere in this car's past it received a Webber head and a 5-speed gear box. Complete body off restoration in the early 90's. Every moving part was replaced with new. (bearings, bushings, springs, shocks, etc) All frame components were medium blasted, zinc chromated, and sprayed in black Imron. New solid Oak dash fabricated, seats repaired, new carpeting. The car was put in storage in 1999. Sold in 2008 with a Pertronix electronic ignition system and coil. Since has had the "Datsun master cylinder" change done, boosters removed, and new speedo cable added. Needs some body work, cracks & chips, and new paint, but looks great from 10 feet.

- PO: Stonington, Connecticut, USA - From ebay listing 3/07:
- I have owned this car since 1983. I did a complete body off retoration in the early 90's. Every moving part was replaced with new. (bearings, bushings, springs, shocks, etc) All frame components were medium blasted, zinc chromated, and sprayed in black Imron. New solid Oak dash fabricated, seats repaired, new carpeting. The car was put in storage in 1999 when I needed to move. I may need to move again soon, so I have decided to sell. When I took the car home (on a trailer) it had no brakes. I rebuilt the master cylinder and now have "pedal", but it still needs a thourough bleeding. I drained the fuel and rebuilt the carbs. While I had them off, and had easy access to the distributor, I installed a Pertronix electronic ignition system and coil. Now the bad. The car looks great from 10 feet away, but does need a good fiberglass guy to repair spyder cracks and respray. It does have "Droopy" doors that will need to be addressed. The Tach is not working (might have to do with new ignition system?) the speedo cable was melted by rubbing against the headers and needs to be replaced.

- 1973 Lotus Twin Cam Special Federal version 5 Speed
- Vin 743072R sold by White Bear Dodge, Minnesota 10/4/73 invoice for $7657.40 Car comes with complete documentation.
- Original Bill of Sale, Minnesota certificate of title, Owners handbook, Owners Supplement book, Lotus service Manual.
- Original tool kit and bag.
- This is a mint condition Europa Twin Cam found in Minnesota having been stored in a heated garage for 18 years. This car has always been stored in winter. The condition of this car is remarkable both exterior and interior. At it's first showing it was first in class, many admirers could not believe the paint was original. There is no crazing or surface cracks, paint is perfect. The car could be put on a new car showroom floor.
- Doubtful there will be another opportunity to buy a completely original factory specification Twin Cam Special.
- The car has been completely inspected and returned to a roadworthy state. The carburetors and brake systems have been completely rebuilt. Servos rebuilt by Apple Hydraulics and carburetors serviced with Joe Curto rebuild kits. Fuel pump rebuilt by Arthur Gould. We replaced the points ignition system with a Pertonix unit. This was done as a safety issue as carburetors are directly above the distributor and therefore a possible fire hazard. For the purist this can be reverted to points if required. New spark plugs and wires, new belts, air cleaner, new fuel lines, engine flushed, new filter, new battery ( Miata spec.) Fan over ride switch with relay for manual operation in traffic congestion, fresh antifreeze, tachometer upgraded to RVC. Tach will now work with most electronic ignitions. Front end alignment checked. All accessories function.
- Engine is as shipped from Lotus untouched except regular maintenance. Engine tight and smooth running.

- 73023076R left the factory on 20 February, 1973 for Lotus Central in Schaumberg, Illinois, USA. The earliest owner I know of was Glen Migit of Tremont, IL. He stated that he was not the first owner, but bought the car in the late '70s from another gentleman, and had pictures of it in ugly silver paint. He repainted it to its original regency red color and sold it to Harlan Rollins of Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1982. Harlan sold the car to Frank Sundram, a local TV news director, in 1986. Frank's maintenance and repair records end in 1989. At some time Frank titled the car in South Carolina and I bought it from Tom Gaffney of Hilton Head, South Carolina, in 1998 (it still had Sundram's name on the title). I have owned the car since 1998.

- Mileage: 14k
- Color: Black/Black
- Engine: 1.6l Twin Cam Big Valve
- Transmission: 5 speed (#365-7)
- Vin: 3110R
- Price: $12,900
- Description:
- This is a very nice Europa that's ready to drive or show. I have been custodian for the car for about five years and driven it only a few times. It spends its day's and nights in a heated garage with my other cars.
- The odometer shows about 14k and while I have no way to verify this mileage, judging by the overall condition of the car I have no reason to doubt it. The car was repainted in its original black color and is very nice. The factory mags have near new Bridgestone tires.
- The interior is in very good condition and has new carpet and center console. All of the switches and gauges work properly. The only imperfections are that the steering wheel has a small nick in the leather cover and the wood veneer on the dash has a few small cracks in it.
- The car is mechanically sound and starts easily, has about 65# of oil pressure, does not overheat, and shifts well. There are a couple of small oil leaks as is typical of these cars.
- It's an impressive specialized machine for those who appreciate driving in its purest form.

- This is a 1973 Lotus Europa with 12,364 original miles. It has been in my family for the last 27 years. The car is mostly original other than the paint which was done 20 years ago. This car has been stored in a heated garage and has been started and driven just enough to keep it in great working condition. This is a very very nice car and I am selling it due to the fact that I am moving to the west coast. This car has a 4 cylinder Twin CAM Lotus engine. It has all new tires and the brakes are like new. The interior is in like new condition considering the age of the car. This car is one of the nicest Lotus Europa's I have ever seen.

- 73033151R was purchased from Ron Christensen for my son, Mark Nethercot who also owns 4039R which is dismantled and is missing many small items. The cost to put 3151R on the road will be significantly less that for 4039R hence 3151R will be made roadworthy, repainted re-upholstered and will incorporate many items from 4039R that are in better condition. The intention is to sell the unwanted items; the body of 4039R is restorable BUT covered in stress cracks.
- PO: Ron Christensen - Salt Lake City, Utah, USA - 10/20/09
- I am offering my 1973 TC #3151 for sale. It is a complete but not running car. I bought it to restore but recent health issues have caused me to have to part with it before I have really begun. This car is a California car with what checks out to be a good solid frame with only surface rust. Suspension parts also. Moisture inside requires a new pedal assembly and new seats. Seat center sections and headrest are all useable. Car has never been in any serious accidents and the body has only a crack above the right front wheel. All glass is perfect with a new windshield and rear window which are not yet installed. Other missing items include windshield trim, engine cover lock, right rear tail light lens and an alternator. As mentioned it is not running but the engine turns over smartly with the starter motor. I have many photos to supply if you are interested.

Condition:- Suffered an engine fire (1990) that consumed the right rear fender, with much scorching elsewhere.
- I purchased it (cheap) to get spare suspension for 2510R. I've purchased a new Ford Duratec engine for it and plan on building a wild project. My goal is to create a 47 out of it. Body will be back-dated to Series 1 rear sail panels and lowered headlights. Goal is to have Formula Atlantic tires all the way around, under stock fenders with as close to a 47 look as I can create (O.K. it will be a 92 inch wheelbase, instead of 91 inch). Color will be blue over white

Condition:- Greetings all - New to the Europa list but not to Europas, have had 3, 2671R, 3205R, 3238R. Currently I have a TCS chassis that has a bent rear but the front is solid and straight. This could be provide a good front 'T' section for someone who needs this portion. The price is right, a 30 Pack of Bud Light. I'm located 15 min. north of Boston if anyones interested. Does anyone remember Claudius, the Europa sunroof guy? For the last 5 years I've been maintaining a '73 TCS that he used as his prototype for his sunroof install. This is a strange car, the serial number is #2619, I think I have to verify this, but it has a 336 4 spd./TC engine w/stromberg head and a plaque on the drvrs door stating 'year of MFG does not denote year of title'. The woman who owns this car bought it new in New Jersey in '73 and drove it out to Calif., amazing, and Claudius kept the car for 2 years while he developed his sunroof pkg. Regrettfully, the car will never be for sale, the owner has promised to leave it to me in her will. The only way she'll sell it is if I marry her, she realizes the need for a good mechanic. My wife won't go for this though.

I hope to start on the body in the spring!

- New front suspension, RHD steering rack, brake master cylinder. Front end of the chassis has been re-built, sandblasted and painted.

10/09/11- Steve sold the car to a gentleman in Adelaide, South Australia and I have since purchased the car and had it transported to Katanning in Western Australia. The car is still the same as in the photo’s under Steve’s name. Much of the work has already done, however it needs a major refurbishment to the interior and an exterior paint job. It is my intention to retain the Orange colour but this time spray with Cororado Orange. The Mag wheels also need attention.
PO: Steve Wirtes - Texas - 8/24/08- Will be British Racing Green upon completion of restoration. Interior is black. Engine has been uprated to the “Tall-Block” conversion. Car appears to only have 38K original miles. Condition is “good” and engine has been overhauled.

- This is my 1973 Lotus Europa Special. It has a twin cam big valve motor, and is very light. A perfect autocross car, for some. An invigorating drive for sure.
- It handles like a 1960 vintage F1 car.
- It's constructed very simply, having a center beam, with a wishbone out back, and a horizontal up front. The suspension is hung off the ends of the horizontal and wishbone, the mid engine is cradled, and rear visibility is Zero.
- It needs a little interior restoration. It's on a waiting list with a specialist.
- Notice how much smaller it is than the 1982 911SC Targa, next to it.
- The photo with the 997 GT3 on the left and the Targa on the right, shows it's tiny size too. Although, it's blurred by its own shadow from the flash, I hate garage photos.
- I acquired the car, in a moment of insanity late last fall. Yes, even I must have some odd streak... Lucas electronics... oh my

- From ebay 1/12/10
- For auction is a genuine 1973 John Player Special Lotus Europa project. This is #49 of 200 ‘genuine’ JPS cars built by the Lotus factory. The car is an ideal candidate for a complete restoration. It is all original having been stored in a dry barn for almost 25 years. The car was put away when the head gasket failed and was not touched until it was pulled out and sold to me last year.
- As far as I can tell the body and chassis are straight and undamaged. The chassis shows only signs of light surface corrosion. All the suspension seems straight and just needs to be rebuilt. I have removed the seats and carpet, just because it was so dirty and full of dust etc. The radiator seems to have been replaced at some time way in the past and it is in great condition, ready to be re-used. The engine is the Federal version of the Lotus Twin Cam with Stromberg carbs. The transmission is the more desirable 5-speed.
- This will make a great restoration project and at the end you will have a fantastic performing piece of automotive history. Being a genuine ‘numbered’ JPS car it is quite rare, not just another ‘Black and Gold’ Europa.

- Just purchased Europa Special, chassis # 3307R 4/4/73 production, titled as 74. 32274 miles, with documentation of all prior (5) owners with state titles: Texas, Washington, Arizona, Georgia, Virginia.
- Spent first 20 years in Texas, has factory Cool Air a/c. Original color Lagoon Blue. Re sprayed to Sable in 84. Body is in good condition, the usual stress cracks around gas tanks, door handles & door pins needed. Paint is in poor shape, rear deck lid and roof peeling.
- Starts and was road tested prior to sale, 5 speed needs clutch. Release bearing noisy, 1st hard to find. Needs fresh shifter bushings and alignment.
- Engine appears strong compression 165 x 4. Receipts indicate rebuild at 26k. Battery box located to r/r tray w/ master switch to accommodate a/c compressor.
- Interior condition good, everything works with the exception to the passenger window. Upholstery was freshened in 98 to include carpets, seat inserts, console & dash.
- I am back in the fold again… after 30 years or so.
- Having the pleasure of first owning a brand new Europa in 1974…Chassis # 2943R purchased at Marco Competition Enterprises Montclair N.J.
- That one was L15 black with the JPS gold stripes sold in 76 to get a formula ford and go SCCA racing.
- I’ve gone full circle back to my roots.
- Well, it's been 2 months since the project started. The good news is the car finally turned a wheel for a short shakedown run!
- After an extensive complete general cleaning...
- Replaced the clutch release bearing, rebushed & polished the entire shift linkage, head gasket, carb overhaul, new ignition wires, cap, all filters, fuel and coolant hoses, gearbox flush & removed the entire cool air contitioning system.
- Installed new headers (coated by Jet-Hot) in sterling silver...they look like polished aluminnum & will never discolor. It goes to say that, I would recommend their services, price, turn around time, and results...look them up.
- Now that she's a driver it's on to addressing the passenger door hinge pin, and getting ready for paint & trim.
- A special thanks to Ray at R&D enterprises.

- After spending the last 3 months at Dave's paint shop,the Ropa is finally back in the garage for it's final reassembly. Now comes the fun part of hanging the doors,installing all the glass and sundries. The paintwork is stunning...so deep you get lost looking into it. I will let it cure for about 8 weeks before a final buff out by Sir Hoffman.
- It has been a long year and a half since starting the restoration, a lot of hard work, but well worth the effort.

- I am the second owner of the car, which I purchased in 2000. The car currently is a non-runner in need of a decent amount of restoration.
- The car was bought in 1974 by some friends of my family, a husband and wife who worked with my father. If I remember correctly they bought it in Richmond, VA. The car resided in southeastern Virginia, and was the wife's daily driver from 1974 through 1978. The wife was transferred to a different branch located around Washington DC, so the car was garaged in 1978. The going thought was that she was going to be at the DC branch for a couple of years, and thus no need to really 'store' the Europa. Well, it turned out, she was in DC for over a decade! The car was sporadically driven between 1978 and 1981, after which it was parked (essentially in a barn) and did not move until I purchased the car in 2000.
- My first attempt to acquire the car was before I had my driver's license. My dad and I approached them about purchasing the car before I could drive, so we would have time to restore the vehicle as a father and son project. At that time they neglected to sell us the car; giving the excuse that they really didn't want to sell the car to anyone they knew. Roll the clock ahead 7-8 years, and after earning some money during various engineering internships and co-ops, we approached them again about buying the car. This time they were more receptive. It turns out the truth to not wanting to sell the car to us originally was the (most wise) assertion that a 16 year old new driver should probably not be behind the wheel of such a car. In any event, we went and saw the car and talked about a sale price of $2500 which I thought was reasonable considering the condition and such. I returned two weeks later to pick the car up, and when it came time to settle up, all they wanted was $1 and a promise that I would restore the car. I paid with a new Sacagawea dollar coin.
- The car's condition can best be described as needing serious maintenance. It has 31k original miles. The interior is remarkably clean; however the dash has the typically splitting. The seats are in decent shape, and the carpet needs to be cleaned but looks the best for wear. Being as they gave no real consideration to long term storage, the engine and transmission still have oil in them from the early 80s. This may be a double edged sword in that the internals may have been somewhat protected but sludge is a huge concern. Looking through the oil fill on top of the engine cover, the cam looks very clean with no rust. The exhaust had rusted away after the collector as it swings under the engine. The four speed transmission still shifts fairly easily, or at least as easily as a Europa transmission probably ever does. The fuel tanks have a little of what now can only be described as varnish (formerly gasoline), and will probably require quite a bit to get them back in good shape. The Stromberg carbs were quite clean inside. In terms of rust, the car has light surface rust in a lot of places but no serious cancer that I have found so far. I had some difficulty removing the rear suspension because of bound up bolts, but liberal amounts of Kroil helped solve most of that. The body is clean with no damage. It is actually on its second paint job with a maroon similar to the original but it no longer has its 'special' pin striping. The paint is spider cracked in the complex areas like around the head lights. The chrome needs some shining up, but is in decent shape. Interestingly, the car has the original spare tire.
- I moved to the Detroit area following graduating college, and I moved the car up here in 2002. Since then, I have not done a great deal other than remove the rear suspension, and some of the engine ancillaries. My next goal is to pull the engine and trans out. I need to stop working on my friends' race cars and call in some favors!
- We recently moved from Berkley, MI to Danville, VA. Still very much in the early stages of restoration, the car was reassembled for transport. I have even more motivation to get 3318R running now that I work in immediate proximity to Virginia International Raceway.

- The car has been recently restored to about 85%. Nearly all the all the suspension had been renewed, brakes rebuilt and converted away form the servo unit. The engine has not been rebuilt, but was removed from the car, carbs, water pump, fuel pump, all rebuilt. Emissions controls were removed. The car runs great right now. We are still trying to figure out what to do with the passenger heating system. The car had a/c, but are not interested in keeping it. It has just been painted. Taken down to the fiberglass.
- The owner of this car was Chris Savage. He recently passed on 10/07/09 at the age of 53. The restoration of the car was done as a "bucket list" item for Chris. My name is Mark Burke and only met Chris for the first time on August 31, 2009 through my wife's boss. Chris had had the car since about 1989. Drove it some but was put up in the mid 90's to be restored. Chris was an Engineering Director of Plastics, Facilities & Systems for Nissan in Smyrna, TN. But the car was on the back-burner as other things occupied life. This was going to be a retirement item. Now that's not to say the car was not important, just ask his friends, it wasn't time for the car yet. It was important for him and his wife, Barb, to try to get the car restored but thought it would be impossible to get done in the amount of time Chris had left, 3 months? I had spoken with Jeff Lane at The Lane Motor Museum in Nashville. Jeff said that they would be able to work on the car. They got the car on September 1 and began work on the 2nd. The Goal of the car was to have it ready for a trackday on Sept. 18. The museum team had the car ready for the track where Chris drove several sessions. The paint was handled by Shawn Prince at Beatnick Hotrods in Auburntown, TN. The car entered the paint shop September 21. This was the tough part... he had to remove the doors. Chris' health was declining faster than expected and Shawn's time line became more urgent. The car was completed and shown to Chris just prior to his death. It's unfortunate that Chris did not get to enjoy the car in it's current state.

- This restoration was started about ten years ago by someone else. The car was disassembled, the body was painted and the lights and trim were reinstalled. The engine was professionally rebuilt with an oversized oil pan and corrillo rods for track use. The frame was stripped and painted, and that's about as far as they got. I bought it 3 yrs ago and began with the front suspension where I sandblasted and painted all reused parts and replaced others with new as needed. I also split the 4-speed transmission case, had it beadblasted and then the outside coated with laquer. I also disassembled the rear suspension arms/hubs sandblasted and repainted the parts I intended to reuse. I bought some of the new parts needed to complete like bearings and seals but didn't purchase the small parts for the drum brakes yet. So this is where the project sits now.
- I would say the car is somewhere around 80% complete, partswise. I've tried to either show in pictures what parts I have and list ones that I know I don't have. I'm sure I've missed something though.

- I purchased # 3472 a few weeks back and hope to bring it back to the living. I had a couple S2s back in the 1970s and a Elan 26R. There was a S3 Super 7 mixed in about 7-8 years ago. I have a fleet of other British machines that keep me busy (ots e-type, healey-3000, morgan +8, mk2 tiger, cooper s mini, isettas, schmitt, defender, etc.)
- For sale on ebay 8/22/11
- The engine runs but it overheats and drips oil. The five-speed transmission works in all gears and the clutch works. The brakes need work (the car should not be driven as it is). This will need to be trailered from zip code 60062 no later than September 20, 2011. Black exterior (paint is peeling on hoods and in general needs new paint). The front bumper has a minor dent (see the first picture) but the fiberglass body is solid and straight. Black interior in fair condition. Odometer shows 24,390 miles but I can't guarantee that's accurate. Other miscellaneous work needed such as the ignition switch is finicky, parking brake doesn't work, weatherstripping is deteriorating and windshield has a crack straight down from the rear view mirror. The BUY-IT-NOW price includes the four very nice Panasport alloy wheels with decent Michelin tires which are shown on the car in the pictures. These Panasport wheels/tires are not included if you do not BUY-IT-NOW, but would then be available for additional cost. In any case, the winning bidder will get the four original cosmic wheels with old tires. Note: I removed the luggage tray for the engine compartment pictures, but it is included with the car. The car has a clear Illinois title in my name and current Illinois registration as a normal passenger car.

- Defying Stereotypes Article
- PO:
- Big Valve Lotus TwinCam engine (1600 cc, ~ 120 hp), 5-speed transmission, and factory alloy wheels.
- I have owned the car for 12 years, and it drives well. It is quick, light, and very responsive to drive. The car is California smog-exempt.
- There is no play in the shift linkage or rear axles, the door hinges do not sag, it never over-heats, and the chassis (or anything else) has absolutely no corrosion (these are common Europa problems). The car also has a stainless steel muffler.
- Major work in the time I have owned it includes:
- Powder-coating the chassis and suspension
- Rebushing all suspension and shift linkages
- Slightly stiffened springs (140 lbs/in front, 115 lbs/inrear)

- Engine #: S30023
- Transmission #: ?
- Original color: L16 - Ford Tawny
Condition:- Condx at purchase was fair to good. Big valve Ford dohc, 4spd. I changed out the Konis and put in the adjustable Spax competition shocks, added rear swaybar, removed the carbon filter and associated plumbing, removed air conditioning unit that was in front luggage area, put on the stainless steel exhaust system, perhaps a Stebro, and replaced original non-working alternator with a 55 amp or better unit. It was a great deal of fun on Hwy 101 and Hwy 20 in California coastal mountains, but I sold it after twelve years and moving to Sacramento Valley with flat and level roads. I also shaved the head a couple of times due to failed water pumps to a total of about .030" which might have raised the compression a bit. I had purchased it from Van Ness Imports in San Francisco in 1977 and sold it in 1989 to a Tony Oinuma and I believe it then headed west via the Pacific to Japan. I still have the file of all expenses for the car in case the latest owner would like them. A great car to learn a bit of wrenching and would like to have it back here in Reno, NV.

- Here is a project Europa I pick up last week in the Dallas TX area that has been in dry storage for 25 years and was service by Paul Rego back in the day. It original owner was Todd Quimby and in 2000 he sold to Pat Steinbach and then Pat sold it to me. I am the third owner. It has 28k miles showing. It seems to have ran over a culvert in 1987. The accident broke front sway bar, the passenger side motor mount and jammed the transmission up. Needs some Restoration. I should have it drivable in 60 days.

- 1974 Lotus Europa Zetec This Europa was owned from 1974 to about 2002 by one owner; the second owner started an upgrade to the Zetec but it took too long and he purchased an Elise instead. I purchased the car last fall to finish the upgrade and resell. The car looks and runs great but there are a few items (listed below) that need attention before the car is completely finished. For that reason I am offering this car at a bargain price.
- Overall
- Car underwent upgrade to Zetec powertrain with Renault NG3 trans over past few years (documented over $27,000 spent)
- Car underwent complete body-off restoration in 1988 (documented over $25,000 spent)….complete new interior at that time
- Chassis painted in 1988 and all suspension parts x-rayed for cracks
- Powertrain
- “Bullet proof” powertrain: Ford Zetec mated with a 200hp rated NG3, 5 speed Renault transmission
- Engine: Brand new 2l Zetec with $1,700 in head work done: port & polish, pulley kit (blue), cam sprockets (blue) 9mm rod bolts, Crower single spring and TI retainer kit, Crower 32mm HD intake valves, Crower 28MM HD exhaust valves, and Crower stage 2 cams: intake 268/.373; and exhaust 276/.391
- The engine has only testing miles on it (~150 miles)/li>
- Compression 9.55:1
- Horsepower not dynoed, but should be north of 200 hp
- MR2 cable shifter
- Racing flywheel
- Stainless steel ram horns and new K&N filters
- New side-draft Webers with 3 progression holes. Tune is ok only….great on the high end (4500-7000), rougher on the lower end. If an excellent tune cannot be made with the 3 progression holes Webbers, the new owner should go to 5 hole progression Webbers (and sell the new 3 hole ones on Ebay).
- New heavy duty starter
- New Centerforce heavy duty racing clutch
- New Power Master racing alternator & new battery
- Used Renault NG3, 5 speed transmission excellent condition; backlash professionally adjusted.
- Lotus Shop Manual and document book included
- Body
- Painted with DuPont Imron paint in 1988…looks very good, but has many little scratches and some small cracks
- No fiberglass spider cracks
- Trunk and engine bay very clean
- Halon fire system
- Chassis strengthened at firewall and seat belt bar added
- Rear anti-sway bar added
- G-force racing four-point belts
- Tach replaced with Auto Meter unit to accept digital output from ECU (old tach included if desired to modify to work with digital output to keep original look) Brakes, Wheels and Tires
- Wilwood dual piston calipers on 10 1/2” vented discs on all four wheels
- Koenig Racing Monoblock Ultralights wheels
- Tires: BF Goodrich g-force T/A: P225/50/R15 rear; P205/50 ZR15 front (like new)
- Parking brake removed in upgrade
- Cooling
- Custom design with new Zetec engine
- Original radiator (should be upgraded to aluminum if the car is tracked or auto-crossed)
- Heater core shut-off valve needs to be added
- Exhaust
- Max Focus tuned header
- Stainless tubing throughout
- Dynomax stainless steel free-flow muffler (sound is great)
- To Do List
- Webbers need fine tuning.
- Upgrade rear suspension adding lower links with rod ends (to be able to adjust camber)
- Needs new speakers
- Driver’s window mechanism needs to be rebuilt (sticks)
- Steering a bit sloppy—rack should be checked—maybe needs rebuilding
- Suspension needs fine tuning (shock and spring rates)
- Small seat tear (driver's seat)

- I bought this car as a restoration project in early 1996 and shortly thereafter had to sell it as we ended up deciding to relocate to Texas in December 1996. The car was bought by Edward F. Adams, Pittsford, NY in late Summer 1996. Ironically a couple of weeks ago while looking for another Europa I accidentally stumbled onto the car again.

I bought it from someone who, 10 years prior, had pretty well gone through the car, and then proceeded to let it sit. Frame is solid, interior is not bad, new tires and lots of other new 10 year old stuff.

- History:
- Car was purchased in 2007 with 24,117 miles on it. The car was originally sold in Pennsylvania and driven by the original owner until overheated and he warped the head. Car sat for many years until original owner's grandson ask to "fix it" so the engine was pulled, partially torn down and then the original owner passed away. Car continued to sit until an Uncle decided to assist the grandson, he then passes away and the car is sold to Wire Wheel in Florida. I then had the car delivered to Washington State and it is being restored.
- Any assistance on the history would be appreciated.
- I have completed the following:
- Engine built to original specifications sleeved to original bore, block had sat so long with pistons in place that rust had formed and damaged the bores so I had the block restored to use the original pistons.
- Transmission is a four speed even though the car is a TC Special.
- Car has never been hit or had any glass damage.
- Dash has been restored with all switches and gauges.
- I have rebuilt or replaced all brake systems, calipers, new rear cylinders, and rebuilding the master cylinder with a stainless insert and fitting a new reservoir tank.
- New clutch, starter, alternator, wheels, tires, all the usual things.
- Needs paint and interior.
- I am now working on the front suspension and hope to have the car on the road by Summer '09

- I purchased Dennis Johnson’s 73 TCS #3840R. Dennis did a great job of maintaining this example so my first few months as its owner have been relatively painless. Since picking it up from his house and Fresno, I immediately put 900 miles on it driving it up and around the San Francisco Bay Area and then back down the coast to my home in LA.
- So far, I have done the following: Rebuilt Speedo, Replaced Speedo Cable, replaced all 4 tires with fresh rubber, rebuilt alternator, rebuilt both Strombergs, sorted out interior electrics so that all interior lights work, replaced stereo speakers. As far as what’s next, suspension bushings, followed by linkage bushings are the next two items on the list. The car drives great and is a real contrast to my S2 #0090R. Hoping to keep them both…reasonably sure that unless they mate and provide offspring that my wife will “encourage” me to part with the S2 before the year’s end.

- Runs well.

- I am the new owner of 74/3841R. I purchased her from Bob Harris in Asheville NC in July.
- The car is back in Florida where she has spent all but 6 months of her life. Bob Harris had purchased about $3500 in parts to go through her mechanically this fall so I purchased those too. These parts included new springs, struts, brakes and everything to go thru the engine and transaxle including a Dave Bean water pump relocating kit. I have already installed the new springs and adjustable Spax struts and all new brakes. She runs and drives fine but has quite a few leaks. I am planning to pull the motor and transaxle and reseal her next summer in time for LOG 32 in Orlando. She is currently done up in JPS livery and is stunning both inside and out. I put about 200 miles a weekend on her and she currently has 59, 200 miles on the original engine and transaxle.
- I have owned a number of Europas over the years including the same one 3 different times.

- Back in July 2005 I got hold of a 1973 Special. (20 years ago I had an S2 sold it to get a Special, took a bit of time though). The car was bought and used in the UK for one year before it was shipped and stayed in Chicago for nearly 20 years. It was brought back to the UK in July 1993 by it's original owner. He used it on USA reg plates for a year (max time you can use a car in UK on USA plates).The car has 24,800 miles from new. Is in 100% original condition apart from the coolair A/C system that it has.
- Update 6/14/06:
- My Special will get the body back on in the next few weeks, all the chassis, engine, suspension and brakes are now complete.
- Update 10/18/06:
- Well after a total ground up rebuild, she’s on the road. Have covered a little over 500 miles, fantastic. Work completed, conversion from Left hand to Right Hand drive. New / refurbished EVERYTHING. All work carried out by myself over the last 18 months.

- Transmission #: ?
- Original color: L05 - Carnival Red
Condition:- Purchased August, 1974, at British Motor Cars on Van Ness in SF, California. Reported at that time to be the last 4 speed available in the country (everything else was a 5 speed and $1000 more expensive). Price was $7019 with no radio. Minor electrical and lighting mods. Driven for 6 months, 6000 miles in the Napa Valley. Put in storage for 18 months while I was overseas. Excellent condition, given that it needed new tires at 8K due to 4 wheel drifting thru the Napa mountains. High point was GGLC trip up Highway 101 and across the Calistoga cross with 9 Europas, 2 Elans, and a 7 to do a winery tour in October 1974.
- Sold in Cleveland, Ohio, April, 1978, for $6200 with 16K miles!. In the blizzard of 78, I outran 4WD trucks on snow packed roads at 40 mph, more like a snowmobile than a sports car. Current status unknown.
- Still dreaming of buying another one.

- The car is completely original – original paint – ruff but original. Faded and with some rash like spots here and there, but NO stress cracks – which is very unusual. Factory pin striping is faded but still there.
- It has a rare factory AC system. This is not some aftermarket unit.
- It’s molded from the same black ABS like all other parts inside – it’s made to for this car only – it fit’s.
- It was probably installed by a dealer but it has to be a factory unit.
- Very happy with the car – it has the original muffler on it. Never ever seen that before.
- Never seen so original car before.

- From ebay 3/11/12
- I purchased this car a couple of years ago with the intent of restoring it, this is the twin cam big valve. My son was born and things were put on the back burner, just being a little over two I was ready to start again but several weeks ago I was informed my son will be having a little brother or sister. I'm throwing the wrench in on this one ( I'm also selling a Niki Lauda Alfa) Its taking up garage space and I have started a new business. This is a restoration project. I have full documentation in a log book of the things I have done. The engine does start and run.
- The carbs have been removed rebuilt and installed
- New valve cover gaskets
- New brake, clutch, gas pedal assembly from David Bean
- New cables gas,clutch.Gas tanks removed and cleaned (you be the judge on condition) not reinstalled.
- Three Panasport wheels are on the car with one stock Europa wheel. The windshield is cracked ,it appears a piece of trim is missing. The car has been repainted black and the paint is awful,it was originally light blue. The overflow tank has gone missing. The interior is ok. The clutch pedal pushes hard and does not engage I did not force it, possible corrosion.
- The car will initially be sold with a bill of sale but I have a clear title coming. The previous owner inadvertantly switched the VIN number and the license plate number when the car was sold and sent the DMV into a tizzy. I simply photgraphed the VIN and mailed it to them and a title is on the way.
- The car is worth saving I have this priced accordingly and believe it represents a good oppurtunity for a savvy collector.
- I apoligize in advance for the lousy pictures, I used my phone and the garage is dark.
- Mileage 114,900

- From ebay listing 9/18/07:
- This car has been parked since 1996. The mileage is accurate. I do not know the condition of the engine. I HAVE NOT TRIED TO START THE ENGINE. The car is a good candidate for restoration. It is complete and includes a workshop manual. The car rolls easily to load on your trailer. These cars were made between 1967 and 1975. It does have the twin cam Lotus-Ford engine which was offered between 1971 and 1975.

Condition:- I am just starting the disassembly of my Europa . I purchase it in 1996 from a guy in Augusta Ga. Drove it for about three years, but when the master cylinder went bad, I parked it in the garage and used as a shelf. But now the kids are grown and out of the house and I thought that I better get started on getting the Europa back on the road, where it belongs, before I get too OLD to enjoy it.

Condition:- 1/23/10
- 73033151R was purchased from Ron Christensen for my son, Mark Nethercot who also owns 4039R which is dismantled and is missing many small items. The cost to put 3151R on the road will be significantly less that for 4039R hence 3151R will be made roadworthy, repainted re-upholstered and will incorporate many items from 4039R that are in better condition. The intention is to sell the unwanted items; the body of 4039R is restorable BUT covered in stress cracks.

- Condition: Body is in reasonable shape. Few cracks and some scratches. Notches in fiberglass from door latches. Front spoiler replaced with larger version. Interior needs carpet and dash refinished. Engine ran strong but smoked... supposedly rebuilt. Transmission: 2nd gear synchro slow and reverse is difficult to engage and maintain.
- History: purchased the car in August 1986 in Syracuse NY. Driven short time before taken off the road. Pulled registration and garaged for the next 22 years. Currently being worked on. Completed to date...door hinges, brakes. Next is carburetors and transmission/rear end work. Hope to be driving by the end of summer 2008.

- It now has engine no. S30260 and transmission no. 36507 4008. This is a 5 speed gearbox.
- The data plate in the front compartment lists the color as Green with a paint code of L12. Although this car is now black, I think the original color was in fact the Lagoon Blue.

- I have owned the car since new. It is my second Europa the first being a 1971 S2. For the first 5 years or so of it's life it was pretty much a daily driver. Since than it's been stored for the winter months and is now used a couple of days a week. The car currently has approximately 63,000 miles on it.
- Over the years the car has been updated and modified to make it more reliable/fun. Modifications include replacement of the ZS carburetors with a pair of Mikuni HS42 carburetors. electronic ignition, full mechanical distributor headers, Autometer gauges including an electronic speedometer, upgraded electrical system (relays, fuses, heavier wires, etc.), Spax fully adjustable shocks and uprated springs, and adjustable rear links, and 4 wheel disk brakes using Wilwood calipers. The car has the original Lotus alloy wheels but I'm considering changing to 15" wheels because of the limited availability of 13" high performance tires in the US. I have kept all of the original parts off the car including the emission controls and seat belt interlock system should some one else in the future want to return it concours condition

- Overall excellent condition. Engine was rebuilt by Autosport in Seattle in 1997 (very few miles put on car since) Autosport is a well known and trusted British car specialist. Reciept shows details of all work done costing $3809.44!! The Car has the rare and very desirable 5 speed gearbox that works perfectly. Clutch and brakes work great. Stromberg carburetors have been replaced with S.U.'s (a big improvement) and emisions manifold removed. Ignition system upgraded to electronic unit from Lotus specialist JAE (includes manual). It has 5 near new Panasport minilite style wheels with new Yokohama AVS 205/60R13 tyres (an expensive setup). Body was recently media blasted down to the fibreglass and smoothed out then painted off white (it was originally white too). This cost over $3000. Paint work is very nice. The red stripe is vinyl and could be removed or modified if desired. The Vitaloni mirrors are brand new. It has a new battery. New CD player (also comes with originl audiovox radio). All electrics including power windows work good.

- Engine #: S31526
- Transmission #: 365-07/FR108/FT113 5 Speed
- Original color: L12 - Lagoon Blue
Condition:- Current color: Corvette Metallic Gray
- Recovered in 1998 from Sevens & Elans in Ayer, Ma.
- Car was a disaster. Carpets rotted, small tears in seat bolsters, cushions moldy, dash cracked and peeling.
- Nasty sony radio and even worse 6x9 speakers with rectangular grills.
- Engine complete, but had not run in many years. Owner of 7s and Elans would never fess up to actual time car had been sitting behind his shop. Cannot recommend “Sevens and Elans” to any current Lotus owner or potential Buyer.
- Total strip down of all mechanical and electrical components. Body was not taken off frame as frame was one of the few things still in good condition. Body sanded to bare fiberglass. Special Dupont sealer (a visit from the Dupont Rep to see the condition of the body), all stress cracks repaired, prepped and painted. Long story there, but the shop painted it the wrong color! It was supposed to be 1972 Corvette Bridgehampton Blue (very close to Lagoon Blue, and the color of my last Corvette), but the folks who mixed the paint mixed to paint code 17 instead of code 27). Finished color is stunning!
- All new hardware, every nut, bolt and screw. New front A-arms, all bearings, bushings, and seals replaced.
- Rolls Royce 100% wool carpets, new seat covers in original pattern, new dash in Hawaiian Koawood (Prestige Autowoods – stunning color and pattern) new door panel skins, original headliner. Doors repaired and Dyna-Matted to receive new speakers. Very hi end Alpine audio with front plenum mounted amplifier and sound processor, MB Quart competition component speakers and custom cross-overs.
- Engine rebuilt ground up. Modified the Stromberg head to receive the Weber Conversion, dual webers, K&N filters. All race bearings, etc. Mild upgrade cams, Dave Bean Phase II, 133.7 HP on the dyno bench before putting the engine in January 2006. Added 65 amp alternator (GM). Tested all wiring to spec diagram, cleaned all electrical connections, etc. Aluminum Diamond Plate firewall with factory horsehair insulation and ½” Dynapad.
- Body unmodified with original wheels and rear suspension components. Spax all around, added race front spoiler for looks.
- Replaced All lamps and bulbs, replaced interior lamp housing, new ash tray. All original instruments removed, cleaned and tested. Cleaned and sealed fuel tanks, original fuel sender (cleaned windings with Coke then an ink eraser – works just fine).
- Added a Chevy Blazer 3rd brake light. Plan was to install under the rear roof lip but instead mounted it on the roof. More a safety issue than for looks.
- An awesome toy to play with.
- 7/31/08
- New lighting effects for Car Shows. Won 3rd place and British Cars of New Hampshire show last September (against several other Lotuses). Winner in class was a new Aston Martin by 2 votes.

- I bought this '74 Lotus Europa Special earlier this year. It had undergone a frame off $20k restoration in the early '90's that spared no expense.Last registered on the street in '95. It was then changed to a non-op registration and garaged until I purchased it. The previous owner was extremely meticulous about it. The car was a two year club concours class winner. It is very ,very clean and everywhere you look you can see things were done right. To revive it from it's hibernation I changed all fluids. Replaced battery, electric fuel pump and electronic pointless ignition system.

Condition:- Current color: White with Oatmeal interior
- Purchased 05/03/08
- Posted by PO Frank Squires:
- The overall condition is good for a car from 1974. It will take at least 2 years to bring it to great/good shape. It needs a bit of TLC and work. The cracked windshield and new carpets will be done by 8-1-06. With mechanical repairs/updates an on going project. The car is drivable and will be driven as weather/repairs-updates allow.
- Update 4/24/06 - The new carpet and seats are complete as is the radio. I replaced the Clarion unit with a 70's Becker Europa radio out of a M-B. Turns out there were hidden brake problems and they have been corrected. Still waiting for a new custom intake maniford that will use a Weber down draft (FF1600 carb), the same set up as Dave Maughan.
- Update 11-9-06 - Installed the new intake with Weber 32/36 cab. Car runs much better and has a rock solid idle. Noticable power increase across the whole rev range and a kick when the second choke comes on. To me a great improvement. I will keep the original carbs in case for some reason the next owner (no plans to sell) wants it original. Winter projects are to re-finish the dash and replace old electrical items such as voltage regulators and so on.
- Update 10/14/07:
- I have installed a complete new int.and dash. This winter I will install new springs and Spax shocks.

- The chassis number is 74034423R the original colour was and still is black with oatmeal interior. I would love to hear from anyone who could help me find any information on my vehicle. I believe it to have been dry stored since 1980 and is now in my garage. It is genuine and in good condition on original chassis having only done approximately 22,000 miles with an UNUSED spare wheel.

- This is a 1974 Lotus Europa special. It is a project car but it does currently run and drive. This car is an excellent candidate for restoration since it has the rare and desirable 5 speed and the frame and suspension is in very good condition.
- The Engine runs strong and the car has lots of power. It has decent oil pressure (around 40 psi). The oil and coolant where recently changed since the car had been sitting for a few years. The clutch and brakes work. The Pirelli tires look like brand new and all hold air but are quite old and will need to be replaced. The charging system works and at least some of the lights and other electrics are working.
- At some point in its history the steel coolant pipes that are prone to rusting from the inside out have been replaced with copper pipes and it looks nicely done. I was told that the 5 speed gearbox was rebuilt but don't have any documentation to confirm this. It does look very clean and does seem to be in great working condition. underneath the cars frame looks very good with no major rust or other problems. The suspension sits nice and level without the common sagging negative camber in the rear you usually see with Europas. It has Lotus brand alloy wheels in nice condition (no spare) and it has the often missing rear luggage tray although it does have a couple cracks in it.
- The body has no major cracks or collision damage but as you can see from the photos it needs a lot of help. It has lots of the common Lotus stress cracks and many areas of peeling and crazing paint. The glass is all very good with just a minor wiper mark on the windscreen. The Interior is very rough and will need lots of attention to bring back to original.
- The car does run and drive reasonably well but it is not quite ready to hit the highway mainly due to the tires being so old and out of round. I made the video below (not copied to this web site (ed.)) just to show that it does run and even has a pretty nice exhaust tone but do keep in mind it is a project car and bid accordingly. It does come with a clear title.

- Car was wrecked when purchased in 1986 from an individual in Alameda who had started parting out the car. Front of car was crushed from hitting a k-rail with damage up to and including the front box section, and windshield. Everything in the front section was missing. I was originally going to use the car as a parts car and left it outside. Now, twenty years later I am restoring the car having purchased a used chassis, Focus SVT engine, Vetech supercharger, Renault NG3 transaxle, Spax shock absorbers, upgraded springs and front sway bar, Revolution rims, Toyo 185/60 front and 205/60 rear RA1 tires.

- My father owned a 1974 Lotus Europa Special TwinCam. He gave it to me in 1994 and I sold it in 2004, I think, to a gentleman named Tim who lived in or near Sherman Oaks, CA. I would like to see if the car is still around and possibly for sale.
- Contact Jerry if you know where this car is.

- This is a west coast car and is rust and accident free. The car is not the original color but the interior is all factory and in really nice original condition. The seats need repadding and a little servicing and it needs a head liner. The wood is nice and dash is very tidy. Electric windows work !!. The engine is very nice and strong and the car runs very well. This car has not been messed with at all and would be a very rewarding car to spend a little time on.

- Original color: L11 - Regency Red
Condition:- Current color: Red Metalflake
- From ebay listing 9/18/07:
- This is the best of the Europa models with only 40K original miles and the 5 speed transaxle. The car is an unmolested original, and the engine was never opened. The first owner was a bit ‘heavy’ and old, couldn’t drive it, and parked the car around 1982. Ever since the car was not driven and was kept in a garage – so NO rust, no accidents, and the dash is really nice. The seats have some small tears (mainly along the upper seams) and the paint is in great condition (no spider cracks). By the way, the owner resprayed the car in the late 70s with a slightly lighter red color (+ metal flakes) – so it looks very impressive (chrome is as new). Two weeks ago the car was taken out of storage and amazingly started almost immediately (after we put new ignition wires). I was able to go around the block and check transaxle (shift is smooth) and brakes (must be rebuilt). After about 5 minutes it stopped and there is something inside cylinder #1. So buyer must assume that the cylinder head must be removed and checked before starting the car.

- 6/9/07
- I am the proud owner of a Twin Cam Special, LHD, comes from US, chassis number 74044594R, 5-speed transmission, original color Mint Green, is currently at the paint to be BRG/Lotus Yellow, good condition, just needs a few new bits.
- Picture, when I bought it last year.
- PO: Leonard Conn - Norman, Oklahoma, USA sold ebay 6/9/07
- This is a rare original Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special with 5 speed transmission and 15k original miles in equally rare L29 Mint Green with the Twin Cam Big Valve Lotus engine.
- I purchased the car 2 years ago to restore it for a personal car but business and time constraints force its sale. It is a driver and I have put several hundred miles on it and am completely comfortable with it (except for the water leak mentioned below in greater detail). Everything works except for a water leak at the original mechanical pump and I am replacing that with a Davies-Criag electric pump though the leak is not fixed yet.
- All the electrics work, the dash works except for the gas gauge (not determined if it's the gauge or the sender), engine runs great, 5sp, etc. Original paint, original interior. I pulled the smog equipment off and it improved drivability significantly but the parts are included in case you need to put them back. The only other things I changed are I added a new design fan to the radiator and a K&N airfilter. The originals are included with the car.
- Exterior color is L29 Mint Green with metallic gold pinstripes. The interior has been listed as champagne or oatmeal. No damage history. I bought the car from the original owner who bought it in Long Beach CA in Dec 1974 for $9526 and drove it until approx 1978. The car was then stored inside until 1999 w/15k miles when it was sent off for much mechanical work and finished with a successful CA smog check.
- Mechanical work included: New pistons, rings, rod bearings, water pump, points, plugs, hoses, switches, timing chain, valve job, carb rebuild, temp sensor, fuel filter, fuel lines, brake boosters, fuel pump rebuild, brake master cylinder, wheel cylinders, front caliper kits, front pads and pistons, brake lines, ball joints, tie rod ends, new tires, radiator, etc. Documentation of the above comes with the car. The car was again stored after only a few miles until I bought it from the original owner.
- The car drives great, the only issue has been the above mentioned water pump leak and a Davies-Craig electric pump will come on the car though you may still need to fix the leak at the mechanical pump. Otherwise, I have driven the car several hundred miles and enjoyed it immensely, drives very much like my race car.
- To make this a great road/show car you will need to seal the mechanical water pump, replace the carpet, and repaint the car as it is in original unrestored condition. I have been happy (and gotten much notice) just driving it as is but the green/gold pinstripe would be really beautiful when in like new condition. The body is in generally excellent condition except for a small strip on the drivers side sill where you your heel hits every time you get in the car (I planned to make a polished heel plate for this location).
- I will miss this car, it has great potential and is a very rare example of a great and rare breed. If you are looking for a generally unmolested car to spend a little work on and have a great and rare car, this is it.

Condition:- Have just purchased a 1974 TCS with 24K miles from the New England Classic Car Company in Stanford CT. It arrived in Marseilles France last week. Reg No 4602 R . Two owners , first did 12K miles till 1984 then next 14K miles over 25 years. Lots or mechanical work done around 1998 by Brooklands Engineering Works Ltd in Stanford CT. Body work and interior need tidying up. It runs very well. On collection from port I filled up with gas and the lady in station asked what it was, when I told her she went very pink, her first boyfriend back in the late 60s had a S1 in the south of France and she remembered the problems getting into it gracefully in a miniskirt. She later married him.

- This Lotus Europa was delivered to the original owner in Tring, UK in November 1974, the last available Federal Specification car that the factory could find in UK! I am the second owner, having purchased the car from the original owner in 2001. The car has been maintained but not restored, has all the original badges, stickers and fittings, including the windshield “bug” that notes exemption from the 1974 side impact requirements. The car has been resprayed, and had a performance exhaust system fitted in the late seventies, but is otherwise original.

- The car was originally imported to Texas, and was equipped with air conditioning (no longer). I am the third owner and have receipts dating back to the mid-70’s from who I believe to be the original owner. I purchased the car in 1993, after it had been completely disassembled and stripped of paint.

- I have owned the car now for the last 8 or 10 years. The car is in serviceable condition, but is by no means a concourse restoration. I have very slowly been getting the car back to roadworthy condition (emphasis on very slowly, ie as time permits). Among other things, I have done the following: rebuilt the brakes, upgraded to new Spax shocks and new springs, replaced the rear wheel bearings, rebuilt the head, replaced the timing chain, added a new cartridge water pump, had the transmission rebuilt, replaced the clutch, and had the radiator flushed. I had the car back on the road a couple of years ago and was in the process of sorting it. Unfortunately, one day I took the car out for a spin and came back to park it in my garage. I discovered that the car was stuck in gear and I could not get it unstuck. I finally pulled the transmission again, and had GT Motorsports in Oconomowoc go through it. I have to admit that I was a bit frustrated and let it set for a while. I finally got the transmission back in the car last month, and am now in the process of putting it back together to see where things are at. In the meantime, I purchased a 2007 Exige S from Fox Valley Motorsports in West Chicago. The car is a ball to drive, in my opinion an updated version of the Europa 30 years later, and has served to scratch the itch, so to speak.

- The information I have on the following two Lotus 47 chassis GT-09 and GT-18, should be helpful to the Lotus 47 Registry. Both of these cars where imported into Canada by Lotus importer Sports Car Unlimited, witch was owned by Bill Brack. GT-09 came to Toronto in early 1967 and was displayed at the Toronto Sportsman Show at the Lotus car display booth and was intended to be raced by Bill Brack. As it turned out the car was sold to Al Peace who raced it in Canada. After the sale of GT-09 Bill Brack immediately ordered another car and it was GT-18 witch was also delivered in early spring of 1967. Bill Brack raced his car in Canada and the U.S. Both cars where powered with Lotus twin cam engines with Tecalemit-Jackson fuel injection originally and where converted to Weber carburetors after Bills car had a fire, and both drivers found the system to troublesome. Al Peace GT -09 stayed white when he raced it and he added the side air intake after he bought the car. Bill Bracks was originally white but after he rolled it, in its first race, he painted it Lotus Racing green with a yellow stripe. He also added a one of a kind single snorkel that he and his mechanic designed themselves.
- As for GT-09 after Al Peace sold it, it was raced in Quebec. Jack Boxtrom found the car in the eighties and sold it to me. I started a restoration but then sold it to some one in the U.S.A. Today it is owned by Jay Embree who races it on the west coast California.
- As for GT-18 the car was totally destroyed by a fire as I was informed by Bill Brack. Tony Cicale was the last owner before it was destroyed as the picture shows the distinctive snorkel the car had. Bill also has no recollection of the last owner.
- I will also include Pictures of both cars GT-09 and GT-18. The images are, IMG 001and 002, are of GT- 09 Sportsman Show Toronto. IMG 004 and 006 are of GT-09 loaded on Plane for Toronto Canada. IMG 005,007,008 are of BILL Bracks car raced at Mosport at the 6 HOUR race Sun down GP. And IMG 009 was displayed on GT-09 at the Toronto Auto Show.
- If I can be of any other help, please contact me any time.
- Here is my recollection of the information I have on GT-09
1- Lotus 47-GT-09 was imported by Sports Cars Unlimited in 1967. Bill Brack, he was the Lotus importer for Canada. 2- It was on displayed at the Canadian Sportsman Show Spring of 1967 and purchased by Al Pease. 3- Al Pease raced it under Castrol sponsorship and also had air scoops installed behind the doors of his own design. 4-At the end of the 1968 season he sold it to someone in Quebec Canada. All we know is that it was in a serious accident and it is believed, it was replaced with a new body. According to my conversation with Al Pease. 5-The car was found by Jack Boxtrom around 1980 in Quebec. 6- Dave Hinze bought the 47-09 in 1985 started a restoration but not completed. 7- Sold the car to a person from New York USA in 1988 8-Sold to Dan Orosko California USA 9-Sold to Jay Embree of California who commissioned a total restoration and races it in historic events. Car is painted Dark Blue.- Photos

- As for GT-18 the car was totally destroyed by a fire as I was informed by Bill Brack. Tony Cicale was the last owner before it was destroyed as the picture shows the distinctive snorkel the car had. Bill also has no recollection of the last owner.
- Note from Jeff Ball 2/23/10
- You mentioned that Tony Cicale was the last known owner before it burned. That is not correct. Tony sold the car to John Lovett, a Boulder, Colorado businessman in about 1972. It was silver topside and blue below the beltline and in rather rough shape visually. John cleaned it up mechanically and visually, selecting a medium shade of yellow for the topside and keeping blue below. John also outfitted the car with street legal hardware. I bought the car from John in about 1976 while living in Loveland, Colorado where I ran my Honda motorcycle dealership. I made no changes to the car and enjoyed driving it on public roads until the speed limit changed to the national limit of 55mph which made the car tough to drive and enjoy without getting into ticket/handcuff territory. I didn't race it because I was racing a 1970 Lotus SS twincam (one of 13 built) with great success in autocross, quarter mile (I loved putting stock Hemi Cuda's on the trailer with my 95 cu in, 1558cc peashooter; 13.7 @103mph) and a couple of road races in SCCA sanctioned local events. The Seven was so much easier to maintain in terms of dealing with a Ford bullit box and Atlas solid axle compared to the Hewland FT200 and more complex suspension design of the 47.
- In about 1984, I sold it back to Tony Cicale and his mate Janice Champion. He relocated it back to Sag Harbor, NY and kept it for a short while before selling it because he hadn't used it and was so busy with his Indy race team activities as an engineer. A decade or so later, I contacted Tony and Janice and they could not recall who they had sold the car to; dead end for tracking its whereabouts. I was contacted in 2009 by a friend of the then-current owner who was living in Maine at the time. I received confirmation this morning that the car is safely located in New England.
- I will also include Pictures of both cars GT-09 and GT-18. The images are, IMG 001and 002, are of GT- 09 Sportsman Show Toronto. IMG 004 and 006 are of GT-09 loaded on Plane for Toronto Canada. IMG 005,007,008 are of BILL Bracks car raced at Mosport at the 6 HOUR race Sun down GP. And IMG 009 was displayed on GT-09 at the Toronto Auto Show.
- If I can be of any other help, please contact me any time.

- Update 8/28/07 by Jeff Ball:
- I sold 47 gt 0018 back to Tony Cicale in about 1985. He transported the car to his home in Sag Harbor, Long Island, NY. It sat for several years and he sold the car to someone who lived in Canada. Tony is unable to recall the name or any other details regarding the buyer. I've posted requests for information about the car on a few NE states vintage and Lotus car club sites with no response. It was a fabulous car. I sold the car because it was frustrating to operate it on public roads during the 55mph speed limits imposed during that period of time. It would reach the national speed limit in 1st gear! I could redline it in fifth gear at 7,500rpm which calculated to 168mph. I found myself driving the car but 50 miles or so per year, so mistakenly thought that Tony would put it to better use.

- Was in reMARQUE article "A MOST UNUSUAL EUROPA" 2/81
- One of two single snorkel cars built.
- The car was originally shipped to Canada where it started its racing career. Little is known about the car's first owners and races. Eventually it was purchased by Tony Cicale who competed in endurance races in the Northeast for a couple of seasons. Tony kept the car in excellent mechanical condition and updated the safety features including the roll cage and fuel cells. Later he moved on to sports racers and Can-Am cars so the 47 was sold to John Lovett of Boulder. Lovett restored the car, bringing it to its present condition of mechanical and cosmetic excellence. Ball was the next purchaser and has now owned the car for four years. Again the 47 is up for sale. (2/81 info)

Connecticut USA |
As invoiced:Condition:- From Don Hogue - 12/11/11
- It was originally bought in late Dec 1967 through Lotus East (Dutchess Auto Company) by Richard Yagami for $6686. It was picked up at the dock (Dunnington & Arnold Customhouse Broker & Foreign Freight) in early February 1968. In March of 1968 it made its shake-down run at the Lime Rock Racetrack, which required snow removal to clear the racing surface. It then raced at Sebring on March 23, 1968 (car number 68) where it lost several laps due to starter motor problems before finally (near the end of the 12 hour race) being involved in a race ending crash (Yagami was the owner & Dyno Racing was the sponsor). After depositing a large portion of the fiberglass body in the paddock's 50 gal garbage drums, the remains of 47gt67 were taken back to Richard's shop in Connecticut. It is currently highly modified from standard and rebuilt following Sebring crash with semi-spaceframe chassis and lift-off rear body. It is currently for sale by the original owner Richard Yagami.
- Photos taken during the recent resurrection of 47gt67 following the Sebring crash in 1968 and one taken at Sebring in 1968.

Denmark |
As invoiced:Condition:- After Chalut came Swizz citizen Walo Schibler, proprietor of the ex-Jo Siffert INTERSPORT S.A. Garage, Fribourg, who developed the car into the racing machine that is pictured on the fotos.
- It was sold in race ready conditions to Rolf Wurst from Ulm on 03.12.1976. He applied the red and white colour scheme and kept the car until 03.09.1989, still racing. During this last season he was sent into the armcoes by a backmarker who´s brakes failed, while he had this brilliant Lockeed system that had been installed by the Swizz. The repair was done by 47/GT/13 owner B. Wälchli from Tavannes using a S2 front section, the car was then painted all red. Wurst describes a car with a lot of power (FVA), questionable handling, adaequate brakes and the great advantage that one could adapt the gearbox ratios to every situation, while the opposition had to cling to the standard homologated transmissions. He reports constant competitiveness even in the late 80ies.
- Wurst sold the engine to a Abarth specialist Bernd Haberkorn in Reutti near Ulm and the body to a forwarding agent named Ernst from Reutlingen, Germany, who destroyed it by trying to keep it going with little experience.
