- 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).
- Sold to Japan by Tony

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

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

- Sold to a Mr. Spencer in

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

- 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.

sitting for 18 years when
the current owner purchased
it and started to
dissasemble. 54/0916 now has
gullwing doors and is sans
windshield, steering column,
engine & transmission.
It is available for sale,
but am looking more for a

- 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.

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

- 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).

- Engine #: 697-04/?
- Transmission #: 336 4 Speed
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.

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

- 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.

Condition:

- 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.

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

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
II Runoffs in Hutchinson
Kansas, and our acquiring it
in May, 2011.

example of a rare car,
especially in this kind of
condition. The Europa has
the Gordini Head with a

tranny is a 5 speed, 395 NGI

suspension is in good
working order with new
bushings and rear adjustable

stainless steel cross bar.
Koni shocks on all 4 wheels.
Brakes are rebuilt and work
perfectly. There is custom

- 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.

- 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

bumpers are missing on 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.

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.

Condition:
- Current color: White
- 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.

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.

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

- 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.

- 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.

- Engine.
- A Renault 807 block was
obtained and re-worked to
accommodate oversized
liners giving a bore of
82.50 m/m and a stroke of
84.0 mm which increased
the overall capacity to
1796 cc. The build was
completed with a set of
forged pistons, a Piper
272 camshaft and topped
off with a fully gas
flowed cylinder head
fitted larger valves and
twin 45 Delorto dcoe
carbs. Estimated bhp circa
165/170 hp.
- Original gearbox was
replaced with an NG-1 5
speed and a 'Banks Europa'
rear cross member
modification installed.
- Body & Running gear
was completely restored and
enhancements incorporated a
bonded screen, Nacar side
vents, twin fuel tanks, up
rated disks, callipers and a
full width alloy radiator.
The car was painted in red

performance is stunning.

- 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.

- 12/22/08
- Model; 1969 Lotus Europe
(yes, badged with EUROPE) S2
- Condition; Drivable. Will
be restored in time.
- P.O. have most likely
swapped engine. Is currently
running what seems to be a
Renault 807 engine. 1565CC
with aftermarket turbo. Runs
bad. I'm thinking of doing
an engine swap, as Renault
is, Renault.. Needs new
bushes, and framework will
in time be restored and
painted. For now, is enjoyed
as is, and I'm thinking of
getting it "road Legal"
before restoration begins.

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

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.

- Submitted by Steve
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.

- After the last winter we
changed my car from a
semi-road-and-racing-car to a
real race car. The Europa is
now fixed wit all FIA appendix
K regulations like roll cage
etc. The engine was built by
Jean-Marc Albert from Keos
Racing in France. 1900ccm and
real 196 hp. 8“ and 9“ Image
wheels with Khumo 215/235
tires. The car is a real
eye-catcher on the track. And
sounds like a very big car :))

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.

in October 1969. The previous

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!

- I should add that the car
still has its original engine
number and chassis. (I have a
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
reduce induction noise.

- Owned since l977 with 50000

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

Yeast - Gaithersburg,

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!

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

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

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

attention are shift linkage,
very sloppy and throttle tends

bad, seats perfect, carpet

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

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

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

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

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

Condition:

- 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.
