 Lotus Europa News -- January 2005 
January 31
- Tim O'Rourk has listed his 1972 Europa TC on eBay.
January 30
- John Zender says "Attention all drivers. The confirmed Golden Gate Lotus Club track dates for 2005 are as follows: 3/30 Thunderhill, 4/25 Buttonwillow, 6/03 Reno/Fernley, 7/27 Thunderhill, 9/13 Thunderhill,10/17 Buttonwillow"
January 27
- I'm working on a paint code page. Please have a look at it and let me know of any corrections or additions I should make. If you have an original Lotus color chart, I'd appreciate a scanned copy.
- There is a correction to the eBay listing for the 1973 Twin Cam. The listing now includes the correct VIN of 3550R.
January 26
- The 1973 Twin Cam 5 speed Special Europa is back on eBay.
Now he is claiming the 38,000 miles to be original when the listing he bought the car from in November plainly states the mileage is not correct. He also states the VIN incorrectly (twice), using a number that would make the car a 1970 S2.
January 25
- The 1973 Twin Cam Special listed on eBay on January 21 was "removed by eBay". No reason given, but I noticed that the new listing neglected to mention all of the problems listed by the first seller.

January 21

Note: This same car was sold 11/04 on ebay. See the old eBay listing here.

January 18
- There is a 1967 S1 Europa on eBay.
It is interesting to note that the car has one S2 door and one S1 door. It appears that both inside door panels are from an S2 and the dash is not original. Both windows are missing, the engine screens are missing and the plenum fan is from an S2.
