Condition:- Current color: Soda blasted
- 9/22/11
- I picked up the body shell of my S1 yesterday.
- About 2000 hours of work to go and it will be finished!

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

- 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

- Appears to have an S2 nose graft.

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

- 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.

- The history of the car is documented by the file, including the French title : it has been sold new in France by Royal-Elysées, then official importer of Lotus, and first registration was on March 11th 1967 . From 16th June 1969, it has been owned by a second owner until 1971 (still in France, Nice). Finally it was purchased by the last owner (also in South France) who kept it from 1971 (!) to February 2014.

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

- 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.
