For sale on ebay (UK).

• 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. Here are some of the details of the car.
• ENGINE. Starts right up and idles smoothly. Needs just a small amount of choke when cold. Runs very stong. Oil pressure is very good . Compression test was 150/150/155/150 psi. Zenith carbs were fitted with adjustable needles. Stainless steel 4/2/1 header is beautifully fitted and flow through muffler has a very deep tone. Runs cool and does not overheat or leak coolant. Petronix electronic ignition.Lucas 43D4 distributor. Lucas sports coil. Tilton Super Starter. Some minor oil seepage at the usual locations.
• DRIVETRAIN. 5 speed shifts well in all gears. Linkage feels smooth without play. Clutch also very good. All u-joints ,bearings ,hubs ,seals,axles were replaced or rebuilt.
• INTERIOR. The nicest Europa interior I've ever seen. Seats,door panels and console were all redone in soft tan leather. stitching and overall workmanship looks comparable to high end exotics such a Ferrari. New Banks dash pad. Oak dash. Momo steering wheel and leather shift knob. Simpson race harnesses on both seats. Seat tracks look new. All gauges and switches work. Triplex Sundym tinted glass all excellent. Windshield looks new. Headliner, visors and mirror excellent.
• BODY. White with gold pinstriping and trim. Paint condition and shine look very good with a few areas of spider cracks. One on the front hood 3-4 inches around that looks like a baseball or something similar dropped on it. One in the lower right rear about the same size ,pretty much out of sight. The others are all small (one inch or less) typical Lotus cracks. All chrome, lenses,glass, rubber,mirrors are excellent. Headlamps are Hella brand Halogen with replaceable bulbs.
• SUSPENSION / BRAKES. Front a-arms look new as do all trunnions,calipers,bushings,rotors,master cylinders. Spax adjustable shocks in front and rear . Adjustable lower links in rear.
• FRAME. Straight and without damage. Looks to have been stripped and recoated. Front skid pan looks new. Rear swing arms recoated and bushing and bolts replaced. Some minor jack dents under arms.
• WHEELS. 5 factory alloys were reconditioned to a quality better than new. Tires are Yokohama A008 205-60-13 rear and 185-60-13 front. I will also include a set of four new Yokohama A008's that I have.
• Overall just a beautiful and unique Europa that runs like a top. All modifications were tastefully and sensibly done. Last year made. More photos available on request. Also included are a tool kit, Lotus manual, fitted car cover and the four new Yokohamas. Currently listed on Ebay. Will consider offers.Thanks comptchekid@hotmail.com

• 1973 Lotus Europa Twin-Cam Special, 5 speed.
• 3 year, total body off restoration just completed on a Solid 28,000 mile car.
• Chassis: Solid and straight to begin with, it only had minor surface rust with no holes. I had it sandblasted and powder coated black along with the major suspension bits. Smaller suspension bits were sand blasted and painted black. All new rubber bushings.
• Engine: Stripped down and hot tanked. Standard bore pistons were glass beaded and fitted with new rings. Head & block skim cut for flatness. Rods rebuilt. Crank polished. All new standard bearings. Valve job with all new exhaust valves, intakes were good. Water pump rebuilt. Machine shop work done by Apex in Bensenville Il. Stromberg carbs blasted and rebuilt.
• Body: Last owner had crummy paint on nice body work. I sanded it back down, primed it and did a little touch up Bondo work. No bad fiberglass work lurking anywhere underneath. Painted with two-part Ditzler Honda New Formula Red.
• Wheels: Original alloys sandblasted and painted. I found the little gray center caps on ebay , had to buy them individually – not cheap! New Sumitomo tires. 205X60X13 in the rear. 185X60X13 in the front. Original spare and jack.
• Transmission: Previous owner said trans was good so I just replaced the seals and gaskets. Rebuilt one of the shift bushings, others were fine.
• Interior: Lots of work done here. Beautiful New Banks Europa crash pad. (Imported from England at great expense. Beautiful new wood dash. New CD/ radio & speakers. Seats were stripped down, and made new by Kn’S auto Upholstery. Done up with new black vinyl on the sides and back and black/gray cloth over all new foam on the parts you sit on. Very nice! New carpet. New vinyl strips on a pillars and around back window. Seatbelts re-dyed black. New original style material headliner. New custom sun visors (old ones were really bad.) New custom center arm rest. New brake and clutch pedal pads. New rubber/felt window channels (Unfortunately this makes the power windows real slow.)
• Brakes: Front calipers were rebuilt with new rotors by the previous owner so I just cleaned them up. Rear drums were blasted and rebuilt with new cylinders. The brake boosters never worked right and were removed by the previous owner. I replaced the master cylinder with one of the proper bore so there is a good pedal feel without the boosters.
• Misc.: Aluminum gas tanks! New battery. New AM/Fm/CD radio. Antenna in trunk. Radiator rebuilt with new core. Bumpers and door handles re-chromed. Other chrome good. Trunk rebuilt; all the fiberglass cracks and splits repaired and the whole thing painted with truck bed liner – nice and solid. Underside, engine bay and wheel wells painted with truck bed liner. New heat/noise insulation on firewall.
• Overall: Starts easy. Runs great. Rides nice. Handles terrific. Interior is snug but comfortable and quite nice with the new seats, almost has that new car smell! Still working on few little bugs. Fuel gauge does not work. It may be the sender inside the tank. I’ve only driven it maybe 30 miles so far. The only thing that is not great on the car is the paint. After going to the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, I am disappointed with the overall finish of this car. It is thin in some spots and not shiny in others. It has s couple small fish eyes as well. I have wet sanded and rubbed it out to the best of my abilities and everyone who sees it says it’s great. I just don’t think it’s up to the rest of the car’s standards.
• Why am I selling it? This is my hobby, restoring old Lotus cars. I buy them mostly in boxes (although this one was in one piece) tear them all the way down and do a complete restoration. I like doing it and when I’m all done I get my investment back and make a few bucks. I’ve got just over 1,000 hours in this one. Time to let it go and start on my next ones. I can get you in touch with some of the owners of my previous projects if you wish. I won’t sell it cheap. $21K or offers. What is your offer?

• A friend who just sold a Europa told me about this board/site and that these cars use some tire sizes that I just got in.
• 185-60-13 Yokohama AO48
• 205-60-13 Yokohama AO48
• Yoko just discontinued the AO48 in all the 13 and 14" sizes and I bought a large quantity for my Vintage racer friends and folks who want treaded DOT tires. The Yoko website shows a picture for tread pattern and specs etc. tire in a 15"and larger and they are still availiable thru retail in those larger sizes.
• At the molded tread depth of 6/32" they're great and sticky for the street. Shave to 4/32" and you're ready to race...or use as molded for rains. These tires were $120 when sold thru Yoko.
• I am selling these at $55 per tire in sets of four. Either size. I can ship UPS ground or if in So. Cal area where we are , can will call. Shipping is $4 UPS surcharge per tire and about $14 a tire depending on the location in the 48 states. I used the ups.com rate sheet for the midwest from Calif. for the above example. If some of your readers want to get together and buy 3 or 4 sets I can sell them for $50/tire.
• I have plenty but they are going fast. First come..first served.
• My e-mail adress is oneandout(at)att(dot)net..........phone here is 541-6484 in the (714) area code 7am-4pm weekdays. I can quote exact UPS and on receipt of a U.S. Postal money order can ship the day I recv. the $$.

for my 1973 Lotus Europa TC, JPS # 157.
I recently purchased the car on ebay, and restored the engine, and replaced a damaged 4-speed transaxle with a used 4-speed. I would like to get back to the original which was a 5-speed #365. The car is awesome, in original condition with 41,000 miles on the clock. Although the exterior finish is blotchy, the interior is very nice except the dash, and pad. Carpeting and seats are very nice, and the only real flaw is the wrong transaxle.

from the Lotus factory in November 1970 and took delivery at the port in Detroit. It was factory modified with high-lifting cam, 45 DCOE Weber and bundle-of-snakes exhaust system. I sold it along with spare parts and a factory shop manual in 1972, in Cleveland, to a French grad student at CWRU, because I needed a car that could pull a trailer to move me to Boston.

I still drive "Lucy" in my dreams and wondered if anybody out there is lucky enough to still have her. Please let me know that she's still sassy and beautiful.
