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!
- Photos
- 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.

- 9/14/09
- 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.
- Reported to be running.

Condition:

- 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.

- 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.

March 11th 1967 . From 16th
June 1969, it has been owned

(still in France, Nice).
Finally it was purchased by
the last owner (also in South

- 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.

- 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.

- I recently purchased a Lotus
Europa S-1, chassis number
460255. I do not know the
transmission number. I believe
the engine number is 240, I
believe it is a renault engine
and it is equipped with a
single side draft Weber
carburator. The VIN plate is
very hard to read. The car is
now red and white. The car is
in very rough condition. My
name is George Hayman. The car
is currently located in
Milton, Florida, USA. My email
adress is
grhaym@ascendmateriaals.com.
At this point I intend to
spend the next two years
restoring the car to driveable
condition. I rescued the car
from the remains of a barn
where it has sat for
approximately 20 years. I
intend to update the pictures
as I make progress with the
restoration.

- Color will be returned 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.

- My brother and I bought
460292 from Anders Forsberg in
May 2011 and then it had a
saab 900 turbo engine and
transaxle in it. We also got
'the original' engine and
gearbox on the side which
turns out not to be the
original but a Renault 843
motor and NG3 gearbox built by
Arne Berg, and used way back
when this car was raced. When
we took out the saab engine to
fix a problem with the rear
suspension we saw that in
order to accomodate the
saab-drivetrain they had to
violate the frame too much to
our liking so we decided to
weld up the frame and go with
the Renault instead.

- 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 purchased the car from a
shop in Waltham Massachusetts
in 1969. I’ve forgotten what I
paid for it but it was not
much even for those times.
After driving it for a couple
of years I had the bright idea
of dropping in a more powerful
2 liter Ford engine from an
American Pinto. The planned
changes included some body
modifications which can be
seen in the photos. However,
soon after I started on the
project two things changed my
focus. First, Lotus came out
with the Twin Cam making the
engine upgrade superfluous.
Second, I got married in 1972
making my time available to
work on the car non-existent.
The car rested in various
storage conditions for the
past 40+ years. Now that I am
retiring, I have dragged it
out from under the tarps
leaves and weeds and recently
relocated it to a storage area
near our new home in South
Carolina. Although the chassis
and much of the running gear
are past saving, I do have
most of the engine and
transmission parts. I don’t
plan to restore the car, but
with a new chassis/engine
combination I would perhaps
like to make it into a track
toy.

- 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.

couldn't do a couple of days

work. Engine not seized,
tranny shifts, tires hold air.

Europa November 5, 2011.

date.
- 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.

- 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.

worn out. The driver's door
falls off when opened, the

9 4 speed trans.
- Suspension has been modified
including springs, lowering,

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

- Probably sticking with the
original colour though the

another red sports car or
another yellow Lotus or
another BRG British car (you

- 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

- 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.

- Information from Tony
Cockshutt:
- 20 valve blacktop 4AGE
engine. Very early S2 with
single wiper, door handle
cutouts and no warts. It
has the marvelous Pels
4AGE conversion with 5 spd
395 transaxle. Same weight
distribution as the
original but 170 HP. The
ECU is fully connected
with O2 sensor so the
variable valve timing
works as designed and
incredible fuel mileage.
New shocks, adjustable
front suspension,
adjustable camber bars,
fuel cell, electronic
speedo, new carpet, rear
disk brakes, GT6 front
brakes, stainless door
hinges. Great stereo with
custom 10" sub behind the
passenger seat.
Mechanically excellent,
solid chassis, fair
interior, poor paint, good
body. Currently licenced
and driven regularly (more
than 3000 miles this
year).

- 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.

- 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.

original color was "Lotus

strange metallic color, which

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.

- A couple more photos with
some of its garage mates.
- After more than two years in
preparation for road use
54/0844 is on the road again.
The Renault type 847 1647cc
cross flow has been rebuilt
professionally, at very
considerable expense, and it
is very quick; well beyond my
expectations. I've been in
contact with the Lotus
historian at the factory who
confirms the car is indeed a
Euro spec car, sold new in
Koln, Germany in late 1968 and
subsequently imported
privately to the states.
- 10/8/11
- 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.

- I am intending to get my car
from storage soon. It has been
in a garage since September
1991!
- The car is in Shropshire UK
and is registered
KCL150G.Chassis number is
54/0848. It was sold on 10
December 1968 to a Mr
Dangerfield. The car was not
available to the UK market
until July 1969 so how Mr
Dangerfield got his is a
mystery! It is currently black
but was originally white.
- I bought it in March 1988. I
fell in love with the Europa
when one was driven by one of
the characters in the UK TV
series "The Avengers" in the
late 1960's. At that time the
car was about £1700 , I was
making £3 a week as an
apprentice engineer. It took
me twenty years to finally buy
one!.
- Since I have had it the
chassis has been completely
renewed and the interior has
been retrimmed. Otherwise the
car is totally original except
it now has a Weber
carburettor. I'm sorry but I
don't know the engine and
gearbox numbers.

the current owner purchased
it and started to

gullwing doors and is sans

It is available for sale,
but am looking more for a

- 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.

- 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.

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

Carnival Red
Condition:
- Current color: Red
- 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.

- Restored to as close as

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).

Condition:
- Current color: White
- The transmission is the
original 336 4 speed.
- The car has been re-engine
with a R16TS with weber carbs
and extractors.
- The car was originally
yellow. In the mid-late 1970s
the car was changed to Gold
Leaf colour scheme, but has
now been repainted white.
- It is understood that the
car was originally sold with
the Australian Geoghegan
performance kit.
- The car was purchased in
pieces without legal road
wheels and is now fitted with
Globe Bathurst alloy wheels.
- In the 1970s the car must
have sustained an minor
impact. The right front corner
of the car wasreplaced and the
car underwent a major rebuild
including a repaint to Gold
Leaf colour scheme. At this
time it was New South Wales
registered and was still in
standard Geoghegan kit
specification other than the
colour. The car changed hands
in the mid-late 1970s and it
moved to Queensland. After a
couple years of ownership the
car was totally dismantled and
extensively modified in the
1980s and has been off the
road since. I purchased the
car as boxes of parts and a
slow extensive rebuild has
been continuing since over
many years. The car is now
nearing completion with most
of the modifications changed
back to a more standard
specification. The condition
of the car is good, but no
doubt some de-bugging will be
required after such an
extensive rebuild.

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.

- New owner of James Grant’s
541291 Lotus Europa, as it
forms a better starting point
for father/son(s) vehicle
restoration. We will be
utilizing Mr. Grant’s custom
space-frame chassis, adapting
front and rear suspension
components from 1998 Passat to
keep ABS brakes and modern
hubs, installing Audi/VW 1.8T
engine and Tiptronic
transmission, A/C, and all
engine sub-systems for
reliability. Chassis being
marked up now for engine/trans
installation/rear suspension
mounts before being sent to
fabricating shop. Body will be
forwarded to repair shop for
crack repair and base paint.
When they come back, the
Passat will be sacrificed to
live again under the Lotus
fiberglass! Kids are to photo
and document everything, and
will learn which end of a
wrench is which, together with
the intricacies of modern
vehicle electronics, motive
power and interior work.

- 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.

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: L07 - Lotus
Yellow
Condition:
- Current color: Yellow
- I have acquired the 1970 S2
Lotus Europa, serial number
54/1552 from Carl Sarro. Carl
and I have been members of the
Lotus Corps Sports Car Club
since the early seventies. He
and I were both friends of Bob
Wells, the original owner of
this soon to be wonderful
Europa. I live in Marietta,
Georgia, but I'm still a
member of Lotus Corps and also
own 5 Elans. I have owned a
few Europa's in the past. In
1973 I purchased my first
Lotus, a used 72 Twin Cam,
then acquired a 74 Special 5
speed which I sold in 1977.
The engine in this S2 was not
seized after sitting for many,
many years but was full of
acorns, and a couple of mouse
nests. Additionally, upon
dis-assembly, the water pump
was seized, and many of the
valve springs were collapsed.
A complete engine rebuild is
currently under way at PHP
Race Engines in Wauconda,
Illinois. The goal at this
stage is to make it
mechanically sound and an
excellent driver. As it's
original paint with some minor
patina, I will try to keep it
like that for now. The
original wheels were missing
so for the time being I have
added a set of VTO wheels with
Yokohama 185/60 tires.

- European specification
Europa, previously owned by
Lotus Corps member Bob
Wells. Bob passed away in
March of 1994. The car has
not run in many years, and
is in an advanced state of
deterioration. We are
proceeding with a
restoration of the car as a
family project. Our
objective is to return the
car to its former glory in
Bob’s memory. The
photographs show the car
while at the 1979 SCCA Solo

- 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.
- Photos
- 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

- 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.

Condition:
- Current color: Blue
- Engine number 1619 (its the
original 1470cc non cross flow
unit with the standard 4 speed
gearbox)
- The car hasn't been on the
road in 20 years and is in
need of recommissioning.
Brakes will have to be done as
well as spring shock units,
gear linkage, carpets, a few
cracks in the chassis to be
welded and the engine is
suffering from compression
issues, so that might end up
being replaced depending on
how terminal the problem is.
This along with just a general
tidy up, but the car is
largely original and even came
with the steel wheels and hub
caps which I plan to use, if I
can find some suitable tyres.
- I believe the car was
originally red, at some stage
it was painted yellow and then
painted blue by the previous
owner. I think its a Toyota
colour.

- 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:
"Dear Jakob Rydh
- 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 Graham
Lotus 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.

- Purchased car # 541767 which
is also #7006190531R, from
Chuck Stroo
- PO: Chuck Stroo - 10/12/08
- 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.

- My name is Bjorn Persson,
Swedish citizen currently
living in Mexico.
- I bought two Lotus Europa
last year and after
innumerable adventures to
bring them to Mexico, the cars
finally are here.
- These are:
- Lotus Europa type 2DRCP
white color. Year 1968,
serial 54/1796
- Lotus Europa type 2DRCP
maroon color. Year 1971,
serial 0667R
- I have both car now in a
workshop where there are going
to be completely renovated.
One is going to be tuned up a
little while the other is
going to be kept as original
as possible.
- Both cars were in a awful
condition when I bought them.
I have been looking for years
for an Europa. Because of my
work I have been travelling
too much and I didn’t felt
that I could take the care
those car needed so I waited
until last to finally buy one.
In six months I couldn’t get
any good car in a reasonable
distance to Baja California so
finally I bought those two.
- Being an engineer, I have
been dealing with numerous
workshops over the years and
there are some here that are
incredible. These guys are
going to assist me in the
work.
- I feel that sending a
picture of the cars now, is
not going to make honor to the
cars. However I am documenting
the restoration process in
detail and I’m happy to share
my progress with anybody
interested.

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.

- Original colour : L09 –
Royal Blue, but is currently
red and has been racing green
somewhere in between. It has
not been on the road since
1988 from what I can gather
from UK DVLC records of when
it’s last Road Tax licence
expired.
- Hoping to complete
restoration to original
colour/spec - estimate about 2
years.
- Possibly has the original
chassis which can be saved.
- Has an oatmeal interior
which I suspect is from a
later TC Europa.

- 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.

Condition:
- Current color: Carnival Red
- 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.

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.

- 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.

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

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.

Barn Find
- 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.

Veris
- 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

- 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.

- Original color: Unknown
(Yellow?)
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!

crossflow head mounted on to
the original block). Recently
a 5 speed gearbox (type 385)
from a R16 TX has been fitted.
This required considerable
internal modification in order
to use a genuine 336 Lotus
crownwheel and pinion. At the
same time a twin link rear
conversion from Banks Service
station was added. Other
modifications include uprated
front stub axles and alloy
hubs from Canley Classics,
aluminium fuel tank, radiator,
Fidanza flywheel and a
Pipercross airbox in order to

- 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!"

- PO: Richard
Yeast - Gaithersburg,
Maryland
1970 Europa S2, purchased
approximately September 1974,
from Rallye Sports LTD in
Fairfax, Virginia. Car price
was $2,995, car was painted
blue and I think that was the
original color. Car had about
45,000 to 55,000 miles when
purchased used. Serial Number
was 65-2395. I owned this car
for about two years and had
the carb rebuilt, auxiliary
radiator fan installed,
accelerator pedal and cable
replaced, and other minor
maintenance items taken care
of. I sold the car because it
was flooded and after that was
stored in a basement where
clutch, brakes, etc.,
developed rust. Car sold to a
man in Boston, Massachusetts
area who said he wanted to
make it a race car. Sales
price was about $1300 to
$1600. Body was in very good
condition and the car was all
original except for the floor
carpeting. I sold the car
because my independent Lotus
mechanic’s estimates of repair
costs were too much for a man
about to get married and start
a family.
- I would be interested in
learning if anyone out there
has the car now. I really
enjoyed driving it.

- 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!

- I have been doing a
running restoration this
last year, still a few bits
to do. It has just passed
it's MOT. I have recently
fitted a Facet electric fuel
pump, pertronix electronic
ignition, larger wheel studs
and nuts, adjustable lower
rear suspension, and I have
gone over every nut a bolt
(they were all loose). Could
write a whole page on bits
that have been done.

- 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.

- 3/31/12 - Sold on eBay for

- 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.

was discovered that the real

from the small number on the
boot back and also from the
inside doors. Official French

interior could use some work
on upper door upholstery at
window but otherwise not too
bad, seats perfect, carpet
faded by sun but would not
replace. body needs paint,
regular spider cracks in
fibre panels, all running

- 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.

Condition:

- Sold for $4500.00
- 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.

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.

Condition:
- Current color: Black
- 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 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!

- Purchased it this month
(December), sellers detail
history below as per sales
info. Have noticed in the
Workshop manual spec sheets -
many references to Hermes
upgrades, car currently has a
single Weber carb.
- "It was my wish to own a
Lotus Europa for many years
after seeing one in the
Princes car collection,
Monte Carlo. I wanted a very
original one with a known
history & free from
modifications. bought this
Europa from an 80 year old
retired engineer living a
few miles from Cambridge,
who purchased it in June
1996 as a retirement hobby.
According to the paperwork
he paid 1996. Terry Chinery
told me he drove it for 200
miles in the first summer of
ownership, & began his
restoration almost
immediately. It then stayed
in his heated double garage
(see picture) 13 years until
sale to my partner & I.
During the 13 years he owned
it, much work was done until
illness & injury left
Terry with no choice but to
sell on the Lotus, as an
incomplete project.
Below is a list of the work
Terry completed in the 13
years.
Engine & gearbox
removed, whole engine bay
cleaned, painted/restored.
Chassis from mid section
back looks blasted &
coated, in excellent
condition. Rear suspension,
shocks & springs
replaced. Drive Axles,
removed recoated. Many of
the ancilliary parts were
replaced with new parts,
such as alternator, coil,
distributor etc... Rear
brakes overhauled & left
spotless, with lines, &
brake components. Brake hubs
restored & painted.
Cooling pipes replaced
throughout with new non
corrosive copper pipes
running from front to back.
I imagine he had cleaned
engine & gearbox
thoroughly as both were
pretty much spotless on sale
to me & still are. I
think this covers most of it
although I am sure there was
much more that I have either
overlooked noticed. The
front of the car looks
largely in original
condition, & was not
restored although it is in
good condition nevertheless.
Terry Chinery purchased the
Lotus from the original
owner, Mr Robert Diamond of
Meldreth, Cambridgeshire.
Terry tells me that Mr
Diamond had worked in London
City, & the Lotus
something of a
summer/weekend plaything for
him. It was always garaged
during this time, as the
condition testifies. The
paperwork states that “the
Lotus converted within 6
months of Original purchase
by Messrs. Hermes Cars Ltd.,
and restored to original
specification (i.e Lotus
version of Renault 16 engine
in 1978 or thereabouts.
Known defects at the time a)
reversing light U/S.
It was the originally
supplied engine that was
refitted in 1978 + gearbox,
I cannot remember the name
of the engine Messrs Hermes
fitted between 1970 &
1978 but it was a French
made gearbox, apparently it
was a common conversion.
The Mot for 1977 states the
mileage already at 31,135 so
it is to be assumed that the
current & original
1470cc engine & gearbox
have covered less than
14,000 miles in total. The
fact purr sounds akin to a
quiet sewing machine rather
than a Lotus engine bears
this out!
So to summarise, 3 owners in
42 years since new, original
engine & gearbox having
covered under 14,000 miles.
Lotus always kept indoors
& stored during
restoration for past 16
years.
During my ownership I have
put the engine & gearbox
back in, connected
everything that needed
connecting (except heater
matrix), over a year ago. I
have had the non original
period shot blasted, &
powder coated a metallic
dark grey."

- 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.

- Newly acquired. Laid up for
25 years before being bought
in early 2014. That owner
replaced much of the cooling
and ignition systems and
refurbished the interior.
- I acquired the car in
November 2014. I am currently
assessing the condition of all
the parts. I was told the
engine was not running at this
time although I was shown
footage of the engine running.
- At this stage I’m inclined
to refurbish what is there and
then perhaps make changes to
the engine at a later stage.

the same as perviously, but
now has Mazda Rotary 13B

British Racing Green stripe)
& will send some photos
eventually.
- 4/27/07
- Was road going good
condition "original". Now
being rebuilt into a general
road/competition car.
Circuit, hill climb sprint
etc. Mazda 12A rotary,
Renault Fuago '85 5 speed
box. Big discs (inboard at
rear). Rear end, upper &
lower links with sliding CV
joint drive shafts.
- Update: 4/27/07
- Now finished & ready
to race for the first time
on 6 May 2007. Current
(running in) dyno results
184bhp @ 8000rpm at the
wheels.

- 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 is in complete
restoration. Engine is stuck,
transmission probably ok.
Transmission replaced with
336-60 4-speed transmission.
Body was modified, so bought
another body with original
arches and nose. Original body
will be use for parts. Chassis
is rusty and damaged on front
box. Probably due to hard bump
on right front suspension.

4 Speed
- Original color: Green
Condition:
- Current color: Sanded
- Type 54
- Chassis number: 70061902690
- Note: the plate and stamp
both show a '0' as the last
digit, though it seems that it
should have been a Q. I note
that every other car in your
registry with this scheme of
numbering has a letter at the
end of the VIN. I also note
that every car in the Export
section of the registry is
listed as a type 65, yet the
plate on this one plainly says
Type 54.
- Original transmission:
336.56 #1274
- Engine: 821-30. ID plate on
car says plate says "2629".
Actual engine number plate on
the block says 821-30 129290
- This motor has, however,
been fitted with a cross flow
head from an 807 motor (these
were very common in
australia).
- Colour: seems to have been
Green. currently sanded back
to fibreglass
- Condition: motor seized; has
been inhabited by mice;
missing one seat; interior
ruined; needs complete
rebuild.
- Known history: car was
purchased from deceased estate
of David Haydon in Sydney
region, in December 2013.
David owned if from some time
in the late 80s, and raced it
on track and in rallies. The
tyres on the car have a
manufacturing date in 1994 and
the dont show a lot of wear,
so it presumably became
unregistered not too long
after that. The car was in a
shed when I bought it, but
must have been sitting out in
the weather at some point as
it has rusted door hinges
(rare in australia), the
interior is ruined, and is
generally showing signs of
being exposed to the elements.

- 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: L10 - Bahama
Yellow
Condition:
- Current color: BRG
- Body-off restoration
commenced June 2014 and target
date for completion is fall
2015 using an A7L crossflow
engine, more aggressive
camshaft, Dellorto DHLA 40's,
tuned header, and 42/35.35
valves. The A7L, used in the
Turbo Fuego, was similar in
most respect to the 843 engine
used in the R17 Gordini except
for the turbocharger; the A7L
also used smaller (38mm)
intake valves.
- Color is presently BRG, not
the original L010 Bahama
Yellow, but it will be
repainted in L07, Lotus
Yellow.
- Interestingly, the engine in
the car is not an 821-30/0861
as it should be, but rather a
697-04/0307; this engine was
originally in S1/460259, which
appears shaded in the Registry
meaning "unregistered".
- I will attempt to contact a
previous owner to determine
status of 460259.

- Original color: L09 - Royal
Blue
Condition:

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!

Condition:

- 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.

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.

that I bought it from the
original owner, it has less

- 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.

and sold it about a year
later to Sara Hansen.

One of which I scanned to

- 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,

- 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.

- 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.

Condition:

- 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.

Texas, USA - 6/22/07
- 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.

- Ebay Listing:
- Has been off the road for
about 7 years.I have stored
it in my garage, 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. 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!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.
- Bought from ebay 7/15/08
- New Owner Notes:
- 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 gauge 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).

- 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.

- 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.

- Original color: L07 - Lotus
Yellow
Condition:
- 7006190517R has changed
hands. I am the new owner of
this project. I purchased it
from the previous owner
because it was an S2 with a
twin cam engine installed. I
have taken the car completely
apart to strengthen the frame
where it was cut to install
the twink. All new suspension
has been installed and the
body is on for mock up
purposes. The firewall will
need to be moved forward to
truly clear the front of the
engine. The PO had removed the
sound insulating material for
clearance and installed a
piece of tin covered in 70’s
velour. It must have been
pretty loud in the cab. The
body has some scrapes and
spider cracking but is in
generally good condition for
being 40+ years old. Barry
Spencer, a local Lotus
mechanic specialty shop,
rebuilt the twink to Sprint
Spec. We utilized a block from
another twin cam (Stromberg
head) to get the benefit of
the later crank and a block
with the numbers still on it.
PASpeedo rebuilt the gauges
for me. I plan to use a
Cable-X unit to run the
speedo. The transmission is an
NG-3 from a Fuego and the
mount kit came from Banks. I
worked with Minilite USA on
the wheels. I went to 14"
wheels because it is so hard
anymore to find decent rubber
for 13" rims. The offsets were
very carefully figured so that
6” rims could be used out back
yet still fit nicely in the
wheelwells. I do plan to
install A/C and have found a
nice dual unit
evaporator/heater core from
Old Air Products. Their 800
Series units fit right in the
front luggage area. Ducting
will be split from the front
grill so that air flows to the
radiator and the condenser.
More photos as we move
forward.

Chuck Stroo
- PO: Chuck Stroo - 10/12/08
- 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.

broken speedo cable that needs
replacing.

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:

- 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.

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.

- 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.

- My name is Bjorn Persson,
Swedish citizen currently
living in Mexico.
- I bought two Lotus Europa
last year and after
innumerable adventures to
bring them to Mexico, the cars
finally are here.
- These are:
- Lotus Europa type 2DRCP
white color. Year 1968,
serial 54/1796
- Lotus Europa type 2DRCP
maroon color. Year 1971,
serial 0667R
- I have both car now in a
workshop where there are going
to be completely renovated.
One is going to be tuned up a
little while the other is
going to be kept as original
as possible.
- Both cars were in a awful
condition when I bought them.
I have been looking for years
for an Europa. Because of my
work I have been travelling
too much and I didn’t felt
that I could take the care
those car needed so I waited
until last to finally buy one.
In six months I couldn’t get
any good car in a reasonable
distance to Baja California so
finally I bought those two.
- Being an engineer, I have
been dealing with numerous
workshops over the years and
there are some here that are
incredible. These guys are
going to assist me in the
work.
- I feel that sending a
picture of the cars now, is
not going to make honor to the
cars. However I am documenting
the restoration process in
detail and I’m happy to share
my progress with anybody
interested.

This car was first owned by a
Washington DC Lotus Dealer and
was then sold to an Arizona
based owner. Early in its life
it was painted red, it was
yellow. The car remained dry
in Arizona from the late 1970s
till when it was sold to a Los
Angeles based owner in the mid
1990s. The car needed a lot of
work, the electricals were a
mess, the car had in effect
two electrical systems. The
interior needed a lot of work,
the dash was awful. Jaan
Hjorth in Berkeley did a lot
of the work on the car, photos
of his work can be seen on
Eddinsmoto.com. The car was
exported to Sydney Australia
where it was used as a daily
driver for several years. The
car was then sold to an
Adelaide based car enthusiast.

- 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!

- I bought this car from a
co-worker's father who drove
it to work every day for years
until his eyesight failed him.
It was parked in their garage
in 1992. I had it moved to my
home in New Albany, Ohio. I
would have never found or
purchased this vehicle unless
for Brian Engelbach. Who
explained everything about the
Europa's and is the owner of
S2 of his own.
- PO: Mr. Arden Engelbach,
Clintonville, Ohio - 10/11/11
- 98,500 miles when
purchased.
- Interior was okay, needed
a lot of work on the front
end. It was home for many
mice and the occasional
raccoon over the years
setting idle. The Ohio
winters were harsh on the
S2. The front of the A-arm
boxes were 50% rusted out
and had to be ground and new
metal welded in place for
ridgety.
- Exterior paint is good at
20 feet and 20 mph.
- Projects:
- Re-welded the entire front
end and sealed with KBS.
- Installed new old stock
Koni front shocks with 10"
140 lb/in springs that came
with the car. This brought
the front end down 1.75"
- Re-wired and repaired
wiring harness, replace all
relays and brought it back
to the Federal S2 electrical
drawing (added inline fuses
for added safety).
- Rebuilt alternator and
replaced voltage regulator.
- Electric Fuel Pump.
- Rebuilt the Weber DCOE 45
and cleaned the Hermes
intake.
- K&B air cleaner.
- Re-routed the exhaust with
a Thrush muffler.
- Re-sleeved master cylinder
along with new wheel
cylinders and pads/shoes.
- New tires.
- Re-cored radiator w/ new
otter switch.
- There was no Crash Pad in
the vehicle so I found a
used/cracked one on ebay and
am having it re-covered.
- Currently working on
making a new wood dash and
relocating all switches to
the area where the ash tray
was located.

looked real nice before the
accident.

it. The car was located in

a 1981 accident. Appears to
have all necessary

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.

- Current color: Carnival red
respray
- 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?

Condition:
- Current color: Yellow
- 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.

Condition:

- I'm Dan Rinker of Ocean
Park, Washington. I won S-2
Europa 0847R on eBay early in
August. It was advertised as
"starts and drives" but did
neither. Well, it starts, now.
It was previously listed as
VIN # 7101050847R and said to
reside in LaHabra, California.
Its original Renault
powerplant was replaced,
presumeably several years ago,
at least 5, by a Mazda 12A
rotary. Its original paint is
gone, but it is still the
original L05 Carnival Red, a
great color for a great car.
Its condition is bad, but
quickly improving! I will try
to shepherd this car through
what it takes to get it
operating -- I don't think
that several previous owners
were able to do this -- but
for now understand that at the
least a new wiring harness is
desired if I want to finally
connect instruments
disconnected since at least
2007 sometime in the near
future. Apparently some rear
clip body work caused the
harness to be severed in at
least one area, and poorly
thought out repairs have
proven futile. After that, and
the driver's door window motor
doesn't work yet, all that the
car needs is a new interior.
All new interior! After that,
I will impose a budget and
slowly restore the car to new
condition -- I want to get a
R-16 engine back in it,
hopefully with the Lotus
modifications, but will
probably enjoy the extra 20
hp. or so the 12A will
provide, and decide the car is
fine with a converted engine.
- PO: La Habra, California
- Mazda 12R rotary engine.
- Needs serious restoration.

- 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.

- 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.

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.

- I've redone the dash,
installed a new radiator,
rebuilt the heater, and have
taken one door off. The other
will come off the same way:
cut the hinge pin in the
center then cut it between the
door and sill and door and
body with a reciprocating saw.
A new windshield awaits the
installation of the new dash
and dash pad. The dash awaits
the full reconditioning of the
electrical system. The carpet
and pad is here, but it awaits
the repair to the interior
fiberglass under and around
the base of the door sills on
the inside. Seat boxes have
been repaired and one seat is
now upholstered and they await
the installation of carpet.
Headliner has been replaced
and visors are being rebuilt.
The backlight is out and the
gas overflow tank is missing.
Coolant overflow tank has been
bought but not yet installed.
Much left to do.

- 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".

- Tasteful rear fender flares
- Carroll Shelby Wheels with
newer Kumho Tires
- 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.

- Now in a sorry condition -
completely dismantled and

restored with lots of new bits
scattered around it in my

- I put over 100,000 miles on
it before I took it off the

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.

- I have recently purchased a
1972 Twincam Europa. Chassis
number 72041487P with a 4
speed 352 gearbox. It is Lotus
yellow with a black interior
and believe it is the original
colour. I purchased the car
from a private owner in London
(UK) and imported it to
Australia as a personal
import. It is currently
driveable and has UK
registration but is in need of
a range of repairs including
waterpump replacement and
brake overhaul before it will
pass a registration inspection
here in the ACT. I intend to
obtain concessional (car club)
registration soon and
progressively restore it as a
'driving restoration'.

- 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.

condition, engine was running
about 10-years ago, front
frame is rusted/broken,
disassembly previously
commenced.
- 2055R was last driven in
1983, then parked by the PO
when the frame broke. He
purchased 2724R in 1988 to use
the frame, but never got the
body off either car. He then
purchased another frame from a
racer/autocrosser in Michigan,
which had been stitch-welded,
that I also purchased. My plan
is to build a Zetec-swapped
street-legal autocross car,
picking the best of the pieces
I have. After that point, the
resultant pile of parts will
determine whether I attempt to
construct a second car, sell
the entire parts lot, or piece
out whatever remains.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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

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.

had to have some help to DRAG
it on the trailer (cut one of

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

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

- 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

- 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.

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.

Pistachio Lime Green
Condition:
- Current color: Original
- I have a 1972 Lotus Europa
TC Federal, serial #72082439R.
It is the original Pistachio
Lime Green color, and has the
original Twin Cam big valve
engine and transmission as far
as I know (though I don’t know
the engine or transmission
number). It is a 4 speed. I
purchased it from Wirewheel in
Florida in October 2010. The
previous owner(s) had removed
various parts (emissions
equipment, brake boosters,
etc.), most of which I did not
bother to replace. I just had
it repaired until it was in
running condition (though it
was by no means fully
restored), and used it as a
daily driver. I drove it over
24,000 miles in the last 18
months. Recently, however, I
had a slow speed accident (no
fun at all) and now it needs
front end fiberglass work and
new headlights. I plan to
repair it and continue to use
it as a daily driver.

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.

- Undergoing: repaint in

- 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.

- 2/19/09:
- 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.

Condition:
- The remains of 74 / 2565R
(Unit# 72082565R) are glassed
onto 72--2374R 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.

Condition:

- I acquired the car as a barn
find in november 2006 after it
was put into storage in 1982
(24 years) and so the
restoration started. It had
been mothballed really well
(engine & gearbox filled
with oil all joints and
moveing parts covered with
grease dry packs and mouse
traps inside etc). The chassis
was and still is the orignal
and in very good condition
with no repairs. The interior
was striped and under the
seats was found a lot of the
orignal history. Old mot's,
service receipts, parts bills
etc. Sll good information on
its history. The car was back
on the road and turning heads
by June/July 2007. It's not
concourse condition but has
done well at some local
classic car shows, winning
best in show at one in 2008.
It still gets used as it
should on weekends and
holidays and has been to
France on our annual a few
times. The engine has just
been rebuilt for the first
time at 66244 miles so it will
now run on unleaded fuel. I
only striped and cleaned it
originally. The interior has
been retrimed in leather to
match the original oatmeal
trim and the wheels replaced
with new lotus pattern alloys.
Other than that it is totaly
original as it came out of the
factory.

- 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.

appears that my car was
shipped to South Africa along
with a second JPS.
- It does appear to have had a
start of a rebuild as there
are lots of new parts fitted
but also a few parts missing ,
no gear change as the reverse
detent is missing , very ,
very heavy clutch , various
bits and pieces missing or not
fitted.
- Fair condition.
- I have just found details in
the paperwork supplied with
the car that it was registered
to M MOODLEY of JOHANNESBURG.
- I would love to find out any
of this cars past history.
- I do have a few classic cars
but this one is a keeper!!!

- 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.

- From ebay 6/14/09
- 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.

Condition:
- Current color: Red
- 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.

- Original color: L07 - Lotus
Yellow
Condition:
- Current color: Yellow
- 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.

The engine is frozen. It needs
mainly body work. I'm the

- Partially disassembled,
engine was seized but has been
freed and disassembled. Some
fiberglass damage, have not
inspected the frame.
- 2055R was last driven in
1983, then parked by the PO
when the frame broke. He
purchased 2724R in 1988 to use
the frame, but never got the
body off either car. He then
purchased another frame from a
racer/autocrosser in Michigan,
which had been stitch-welded,
that I also purchased. My plan
is to build a Zetec-swapped
street-legal autocross car,
picking the best of the pieces
I have. After that point, the
resultant pile of parts will
determine whether I attempt to
construct a second car, sell
the entire parts lot, or piece
out whatever remains.

Dean - La Porte, Indiana
- 5/21/12
- 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.

Condition:

- 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.

- 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.

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

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.

Condition:
- Current color: Brown
- Attached are the latest
photos of my Europa 2976R
- Project stopped due to
house renovations some years
ago but I’m back? The
trimming is still required
but will be done shortly and
the car drives like new and
looks amazing, the bumpers
will be sent away for a
re-chrome and the side
skirts will be painted and
fitted to finish.
- I have an original air
conditioning unit which I
got with the car, not sure I
will fit it as it only adds
weight along with a 5 speed
gearbox mounting bracket
sitting around.
- Photos
- Update 5/8/12
- 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.

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.

I have just over 1,000 legal
miles on my 73 TCS since
finishing her up. I added a
MSD Ignition unit to help
control detonation under
boost. I was two weeks away
from taking her to the dyno
when a motor mount plate
ripped out of the rubber
bonding. This allowed the
drive train to move around
enough to pinch the oil drain
line on the turbo. Not sure if
my (new) motor mount was
faulty or the 1-2 shift is a
bit too violent ?
- Since the engine bay got
oiled down pretty good and I
thought I had blown crank
seal(s), I pulled the motor
& trans to find
everything was perfect
except for the motor mount
and the oil drain hose. I
found that I need more
crankcase ventilation and a
catch can for the oil under
boost. Oh well, since the
drive train was out I went
ahead and cleaned up the
engine bay, fixed a few
doo-dads that I didn't like
and will have her back on
the road shortly (1-2
months).
- Given the the way it goes
through the gears at 7 psi
of boost, I'm going to hope
for 160 hp of the 175 hp
(flywheel) that I was told
it would develop! Hope to
have dyno numbers and charts
first of the year.
- Photos
- 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.

- 1/12/07
- 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!

- 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.

- I have just recently
purchased my 1973 Lotus Europa
S2 from a Mr David Rook of
Sydney. The details of the car
are as follows, vin. no.
7302/3050R, date of
manufacture 5th Feb. 1973,
engine no S28964, colour
black, upholstery, black, sent
from the factory on invoice
no. 12554, to Lotus Canada,
Vancouver.
- 5/9/14
- This car was built in
02/73 and its original
colour was L15 - Black
Gloss. At some stage the car
was upgraded to JPS spec.
with the gold striping but
it is not one of the
original JPA cars - that
featured oatmeal interiors.
This car was purchased from
a used car dealer in
southern California in 2005
and at that stage it was
barely driveable. I had a
lot of work done to get the
car road worthy in
California, the car was
fully re-wired, and I have
all the interior re-done
keeping the original vinyl
and other features that were
still good, like the seats.
I then imported the car into
Australia where more work
was done on the car, mainly
via Cummins. The car came
with its original handbook
& supplement, plus the
big black binder. It also
came with its original tool
kit plus an original Lotus
Twin Cam brochure. The body
& chassis are dry &
good. The car has a few very
minor spider cracks but no
major cracking. The car has
its original chassis,
original body & the
engine has not been messed
with. The car runs a pair of
SU’s that were recently over
hauled. We tried to run a
pair of Strombergs on the
car for sake of originality
but they didn't run well so
back to the SU's. The car
has the largest sports
exhaust that can be fitted
& runs on near new
Michelins x 5. The gear
shift linkage works
perfectly. The car has its
original wheels that I
haven’t had restored on
purpose.

- 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.

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.

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.

- I purchased a Europa TC
Special from Monte Sheldon in
Portland, Oregon in September
of this year at the All
British Field Meet in PDX.
He's one of the larger
collector car dealers in town
and also owns the local Jaguar
dealership. Pretty much a
legend in the vintage car
community in Portland. He's in
his 80's and is slowly selling
off some of his personal cars
these past several months.
- Anyways, I bought Lotus TC
Special, Europa VIN 3115R from
him. You already have it in
the TC registry, so you can
just put me as the new owner.
The car is in good shape with
the exception of the original
paint being faded in spots
after all these years.
Mechanically it is how the
owner had posted pictures in
the blog you have stored on
your web site from 2005. The
car hasn't changed much since.
It was I think in storage
these past 3 years. As Monte
told me that is about the time
he bought it out of Seattle.

- From ebay ad 10/2/04:
- 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.

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

- 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.

- We have progressed a
little since the last
update.
- It was discovered the body
was in very poor condition
and quite dangerous (lots of
horrible bog holding it all
together).
- I have a mate with a
fibreglass business, so we
set to work. A new fire wall
was constructed and
extensive strengthening to
all parts of the car. A
mirror stainless steel sheet
was fitted to the engine
side of the fire wall, to
give it a nice reflective
look.
- Then down to the spray
painter (another mate). We
spent over 100 hours sanding
and filling.
- Then several coats of
primer, more sanding and
finally a coat of Lotus
Pistachio green.
- I am now waiting for the
auto electrician to install
the new wiring looms.

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

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.

- 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

fall. Yes, even I must have
some odd streak... Lucas

- After a lot of hard work
particularly by Greg Bray our
local Lotus mechanical genius
73043297R has finally been
reborn as a right hand drive
UK spec John Player Special
#49.
- Car has been shipped to
Australia and is undergoing a
full restoration and
conversion to right hand
drive.
- 1/12/10 - Ian
Ashdown - San Clemente,
California
- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

Condition:
- Current color: Maroon
- 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.

Condition:
- Current color: Lotus BRG
with single yellow stripe
- Submitted by: Mark
Burke
- Current transmission:
352-11/2902 4 Speed
- 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.

- PO: Glenn Thyrion - Booker,
Texas - Sold January 2014
- Original Engine: S29733
- 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.

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)
- Spax shocks with
adjustable dampening rate
and spring perches
- Replaced all engine and
transmission mounts
- Replaced all hoses, some
with silicone long life hose
- Stainless front suspension
bolts (from RD Enterprises)
- Braided stainless flexible
brake lines
- Minor engine work while
the body was off the frame:
- Replace water pump
- Replace timing chain and
cam bearings
- Set valve clearances
- Other recent work includes
Replaced tires, battery,
door seals, throttle cable.

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.

transmission up. Needs some
Restoration. I should have it

- 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

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

- 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. See

I had the engine running
briefly, and poorly. 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.

She's looking great and
running well but leaks a bit.
Contacted Evans Leinfeld who
will be evaluating her next
Spring. Motor and trans are

- 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.

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.

- I'm the original owner, but
I'm embarrassed to say it's
deteriorated into a
restoration (actually,
restomod) project. I'm pretty
early on towards that goal,
and am vaguely thinking of a
2.0 Zetec or Mazda Rotary
conversion.

Condition:

- 20,525 Miles
- 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.

- Engine #: S30576
- Transmission #: ?
- Original color: Glacier
Condition:
- Current color: Black
- 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

Condition:
- Current color: C4 Corvette
green
- My dad and I just picked up
a '74 Europa Special to bring
back to life. Chassis is
number 73083964R. The original
color was L04 white, it's now
a metallic green from a C4
Corvette. Currently it's not
running so that will be the
first order of business,
followed by everything else
needed to make it roadworthy
again. The plan will be to
repaint it some other color
once we agree on one.
- Twin Can engine, Stromberg
carbs, four speed trans, TC
alloys. The car is mostly
complete and seems pretty
solid so far, we'll know more
as we get into it. I've
attached a pic of it on the
trailer when we brought it to
my shop.

- PO: Middle Missouri, USA
- 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.

- Reported by Michael
Lye
- I've finally got around to
go back and look at that
Europa rotting away in a
field here in Rhode Island.
From what I can tell it's a
TCS, xxxx4021R (couldn't get
the full info but judging
from the registry it's
73084021R), transmission
missing, don't know about
the engine number. Color is
now black but may have been
blue originally. Condition
decrepit. Rear deck lid on
ground broken, interior torn
up and missing pieces, paint
peeling, body seems mostly
intact, one wheel missing,
generally in sad shape. It's
located in Greene, RI, USA.
- Sad to see it this way and
I wish the owner (whose name
I don't know) would sell it
but don't think it will
happen.

from Ron Christensen for my

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.

being worked on. Completed to

Hope to be driving by the end
of summer 2008.

- This car was bought by James
Cowen on 11th October 1988 and
sold to me on 20th March 2013.
- The car is in very good
condition with a little paint
crazing to the left wheel
arch. The interior trim has a
few splits, but otherwise the
car looks to be in good
condition.
- I will be taking the car to
some local ex Lotus employees
for the interior trim to be
repaired, and the exterior
paintwork to be sorted out.
- I am fitting an original
steering wheel, and a new
walnut dashboard. I have to
change the headlights to dip
to the left, and the rear
lights to have orange
indicator lenses for UK
compliance.
- I used to own JEX591N, a
1975 JPS Europa Special which
was the 5th or 6th last one
ever made. I had to sell it in
August 1979 when children came
along. It was a UK spec car
RHD with Weber carbs.

- 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.

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.

earlier in the year.
- The chassis number is

was and still is black with

to hear from anyone who could
help me find any information
on my vehicle. I believe it to
have been dry stored since

It is genuine and in good

Regency Red
Condition:
- 1/22/13 - I am the original
owner of 74/4496R, I purchased
the Europa new from Alderman
Datsun of Delaware on 7/24/74
and have the sale
documentation.
- I would like to know if it
was ever restored. -
email
- Sold on ebay 4/1/2012 for
$5,900.
- 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.

- 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.

- I dont know much about
these cars except I loved
them when I was a kid
growing up here in the USA
(Arizona and New York area).
- This particular car
supposedly has a built motor
by a place I think here in
the USA possibly in Georgia?
I have to look at the
paperwork I got with the
car.
- I bought the car from a
gentleman, it use to be his
brothers who passed away a
few yrs ago. But as the
story goes this car only has
about 34k miles on it and
was mostly driven in SCCA
once or twice a month. In 94
aprox the car was drained of
the fuel, the motor was
wrapped up here in the dry
desert and the car was
parked.
- More interesting was the
story that came with the car
(and some paperwork to back
it up) that the car has a
special motor in it with 1
off special parts in it.
- I have the paperwork at my
shop and it has the info.
- The car also has PW and AC
option too.

- 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.

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.

- 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,

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.

- This Lotus is one of the
very early cars, with a
chassis number of 47GT10.
According to the Lotus
Register, it was originally
sold by Lotus to Nick Moor
Racing, probably in early
1967, and was raced by John
Blades. The current owner, an
enthusiastic Lotus collector,
purchased the car in Great
Britain in 1995. It was
previously owned by Tony
Mantle of Climax Engine
Services, John Harper and
Jonathan Bradburn.

- PO: Michael
Budd - 1960's/1970's
- Read with interest the
history of 47 GT10…just like
to mention I owned this car
sometime in the late
1960's…to early 70's.
- I purchased it from a
speacialist sports car
dealer in Green Lanes,
Hornsey..cant remember the
name, but it cost me £750!!!
- Back then it was painted a
mustard colour, and it had a
Ford 1600 crossflow from a
Cortina in it, mated to a
Renault gearbox.
- I used it on the road
somehow…totally illegal, as
it had the original Dunlop
racing tyres, no useful
handbrake, and I'm sure no
speedometer either.
- I used to work in a garage
at the time, which came in
handy, as the dynamo ran off
a pully attached to the rear
driveshaft, so when the car
was stationary, no charge
went into the battery, I
used to pinch a new battery
every week just to make sure
it started.
- I eventually swapped it
for a 'wooden'
Marcos1800…but thats another
story!

- 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.
- 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,

- 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.
- Photos
- 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)

- 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.

All the cars were actually
owned by the drivers with
assistance given by Mike
Spence Developments.
- With regard to Ted Bunce's
47, the ex Gold Leaf Team
Lotus car the agreement of
purchase from Lotus included
the proviso that the car
would not be seen in a
privateers hands or appear
in public in its Gold Leaf
Team Lotus livery and we
collected the car in January
'1969 and took it back to
Teds home first and then to
the paint shop for new
livery (painted by Alan
Rigalsford).
- The car was run in various
club racing events in 1969
mainly at Silverstone and
Snetterton plus a couple of
International events and
achieved class and overall
wins at this level but was
losing out to many of the
lighter Chevron B8 and Lotus
23b based specials despite
its superior handling. The
car was driven by Ted Bunce
(owner) and by Rex Bates
(chief mechanic) during
1969.
- Over the winter of
1969/1970, Ted decided,
despite the fact that he was
suffering with severe
arthritis, to source a Ford
Cosworth FVA engine to fit
for the 1970 season. As a
result we did a deal with
Frank Williams to purchase
one of the FVA's from his
Formula 2 team. The engine
had been used in the South
American (Temporada) series
during 69/70 and we then
collected it from the Docks
at Southampton and fitted it
in to the 47.
- The next problem we had
was the front brakes not
being able to cope with the
extra power (225hp) and we
then did a deal with March
Engineering to obtain some
bigger brakes from their
Formula 2 car which solved
the problem.
- The 47 was then raced
through 1970 but we had to
argue the cars engine (FVA)
eligibility as a group 4 car
at the International events
on a couple of meetings. It
won a number of meetings
outright in 1970 including
beating John Jordans (ex
Essex Wire) GT40.
- It then did a couple of
races in 1971 before Ted
sold the rolling chassis and
loaned me the Cosworth FVA
and original Hewland FT200
gearbox to build my 1st race
car.
- I believe that this car is
now in a private collection
in Japan, but would be
interested to learn where it
is now.

- Gold Leaf Team car 1968
season.
You will notice that 47/69
and 47/70, which were built
by Team Lotus and not Lotus
Components did not carry a
GT designation on their
chassis plates.
- 47/69 and 47/70 are the
only cars on the Register
built with lift-off bodies,
although 47/GT/16 was
rebuilt with a lift-off body
after a serious crash at
Villa Real in Portugal in
July 1968. As such these
cars were the prototypes for
the later S2 Europa's.
- Team car J. Oliver, later T.
Bunce, R. Bates, Lucas

- "Genuine Lotus 47A Factory
car. This 47A won in the
1967's BOAC500 championships
by Jackie Oliver who drove
it. I have bought it from Mr
Ian Marchall who is famous
Historic Racing car driver.
I have been keeping it in my
garage for over 25 years.
Matching Chassis, Engine
Number. Original Lucas fuel
injection, Original Dash,
steering wheel, seats,

never ever changed anything.
It is still ready to go all
of Big major Historic car

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.

As invoiced:
Condition:
- Current color: Green
- I bought this car 2003 in
small pieces, not complete,
build it up in 100% original
with the best spars.
- This car had an outstanding
and unusual race history,
driven by Paul Kerridge in the
late 1960's and early 1970's
both in the U.K. and later in
Germany, Holland and Sweden.
It was mentioned in many
articles both in Autosport and
Motoring News in 1968, 69 and
70 and was a winner in
Autocross and Rallycross
Championships and received
coverage and congratulations
from Lotus Cars. Fully
documented by photographs and
film from the first and second
owners, the car is now in
faultless condition with FIA
papers and an HTTP passport.
Raceable in Tour de France
Automobilia and BARC Spirit.
There is a fire extinguisher
system, full harness, and roll
cage, Girling 3-pot calipers,
and twin aluminium long
distance tanks. Everything is
new or rebuilt to the highest
standard. There are
Registration papers and Number
plates for both the U.K. and
Sweden.
47/76 has done just 3 hours
running both on a rolling road
and the track, for set-up
purposes and is thus ready to
race. The 1598cc steel
Lotus-BRM twin cam gives
154bhp at the rear wheels and
the Hewland FT 200 is very
sweet. There are very few of
these cars in raceworthy
codition in the world, perhaps
2 in the USA , 2 in Japan, 2
in Portugal and 1 in the UK.
The car has not been seen in
public in the U.K. since 1976,
but is well known to the
Historic Lotus Register.
