However chassis, wheel suspensions and brakes are restored and in place.
The body looks awful.
Front fenders are widened and rear fenders are removed to be widened.
It will take some time, but it will be back on the road some day :-)

Renault R16 motor (1.6 liter) and transmission (4-speed)

The odometer shows 93,764 KM which is believed to be the correct original mileage (that's about 58,000 miles)
Later model rear hubs
Dual coilover rear shocks
New Michelin D-XT tires
The car was held in original condition for the preceding 20+ years in storage. It needed to be completely gone over, which has just been finished
Reworked stock radiator with a new high performance 6-row core and high speed fan
Header-back 2" Flowmaster exhaust system
Electric fuel pump
Recent work includes: carburetor overhaul, rebuilt starter, alternator, distributor, all rubber, belts and hoses, much of the wiring, front brakes, battery, all tune and filter parts/all new fluids, new windshield and rubber, new doors (S2) with electric windows and rubber seals, paint, interior, both bumpers rechromed, and a whole lot more that you expect of a thorough restoration.
The body finger indents for the original doors were glassed in.

My name is Mike Berge, I live in south of France in Beziers. I'm very interested in Lotus story, and I often come on this web site, it's a very interesting site; I love.
I write this mail because I have a friend who has bought the chassis number 460106. Before his owner was Mrs and Mr Bordes.
The name of the new owner is Ernesto Kloostra, he lives in the south of France (18 miles from Beziers), he is mechanic.(see the picture n° 2 ,it's Ernesto in his car) From 8 month the car had a new engine (Renault 1647 cm3 - 90hp ) The car is always red and white , he is not in very good condition but in good condition. Ernesto is working on his car !! I sent you 4 pictures with this mail.

Maybe it was the stupidest mistake in my life, but I just bought a Lotus Europa S1. Yep the ugly 4600164 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.

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. |
