- Original 40-year old
unrestored/weathered
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

- I am the second owner. I had
the minor crack in the rear
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.

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
resto project. New to the marque
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
number is 72052301R.

- 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.

- 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.

74 / 2565R (Unit# 72082565R)
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.

Condition:

- 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.

- Update 8/10/07
- Undergoing: repaint in
red, reveneering of IP. Now
running, new fuel tanks
(aluminum) and brakes. I
plan to drive it this fall.

- 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

4/2/08:
- I bought Europa #2556R
from VIP Classics in San
Diego. I hope the car's nice
condition (I know it has
some paint checking and this
should be fixed). I'll send
you pictures once I receive
the car ( 5-6 weeks...) I'm
a huge Esprit fan (I've
owned 10 of them, 4
currently) and it's the
first time I explore another
Lotus model & buying in
the USA - car "unseen".

- 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.
