Lost/Not Found
Let everyone know you're looking for a lost friend.
I'm looking for my old 1971 S2 that I owned from about 1972 - 1977 in Wisconsin.
- I don't know the VIN but I sold it a woman in Illinois. It was repainted a Porsche green that was similar to L22 Bitter Green. It had Cosmics, Hermes & 45DCOE as well as a custom rosewood dash I made. Contact Craig if you know where this car is.
My father owned a 1974 Lotus Europa Special TwinCam (74044519R).
- He gave it to me in 1994 and I sold it in 2004, I think, to a gentleman named Tim who lived in or near Sherman Oaks, CA. I would like to see if the car is still around and possibly for sale.
- Mona Wright
- Contact Jerry if you know where this car is.
Seeking information about my dad's old Europa
- The car was an S2, it was yellow and was located in Finland. The car's license plate number might have been something like "LYY-63". The car was involved in one accident where its front was damaged and got repaired. Despite the repair there were still some problems with the steering due to the accident and my dad then traded it for a Porsche 914 in a car dealership called either Suomen Auto or Auto Olari. Few days after someone from a city called Kouvola had bought the car and on his way home something had broken down from the car and when a tow car tried to tow it, Europa's fiberglass body literally tore apart due to incorrectly placed towing cable. Wonder what happened to the car after that.. If someone has any information about this car, please contact me via email.

I have for ages been trying to find my old Europa. 1971.
- Black as a JPS. all black inside, front grill was a cast metal unit. and the front spoiler was about twice the depth. I bought this car from the factory, it had been sitting a building there for years. a friend who work for Lotus told me about it it was under a cover and covered in years of dust and grime, sitting on 4 flat tyres. I went to the factory with a map of where it was, as on the phone they did not know anything about it. anyway I bought it, and got it home on a trailer. There were lots of things around the car that were different from normal, ie spoiler/very nice cast front grill and all the trim in black. All the JPS livery was painted on, not stick on, very nice job by a sign writer. I do not remember the chassis number. but the reg number was 1283 MC.

I am trying to locate what happened to my old Europa from the 1980s.
- Brief history is as follows:
- It was we believe a Federal Europa (it had flattened tops of front guards and taller cockpit to others we knew)
- I bought it from Leighton Cochran (Brisbane Qld Australia) in 1982? When it was red when I bought it
- I repainted it blue/white and fitted gold mags and 16ts motor with really unusual twin extractors, 2x weber carbies and no bumpers
- Sold to back to Leighton Cochran in mid 1980s and he drove it to Melbourne where he then was working as an engineer
- He sold it in Melbourne when he moved to USA in late 1980s
- It had no chassis plate we could find!
- Attached are 2 photos when I owned it
- I currently own 541163 (would love to find those old mags!)
- Please contact me at Mark Mathiesen.

Lotus Europa John Player Special #62
- I used to own this car. I bought it in Pensacola, FL after I wrecked my 7 Series IV. I sold it in San Diego in late 1978. Might anyone know where it is?
- Thanks much. - Ned Bagley
I bought a dark blue S2 (#OVG688J)from the Lotus factory in November 1970 and took delivery at the port in Detroit. It was factory modified with high-lifting cam, 45 DCOE Weber and bundle-of-snakes exhaust system. I sold it along with spare parts and a factory shop manual in 1972, in Cleveland, to a French grad student at CWRU, because I needed a car that could pull a trailer to move me to Boston.
I still drive "Lucy" in my dreams and wondered if anybody out there is lucky enough to still have her. Please let me know that she's still sassy and beautiful.
