- 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.

- 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.

- Very fine restored S2 from 1968. Bought from Germany in 2007. Nearly original and in top condition. The cars original color was "Lotus Yellow" but now it's in a bit strange metallic color, which caused fundamental problems at the registration in the Tyrol (Austria) because of its non-authenticity (see enclosed pictures).

- Sold to a Mr. Spencer in 1968 (I think) run for a couple of years and stored for 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.

- 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 picked up Chassis Number 540916 and it's now undergoing a restoration
- History: 1/24/09 - Toronto, Canada
- Walter Cianciusi
- Actively seeking an S2 and came across this piece in the Toronto area. Car was 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 driver not a basketcase.

Condition:- Current color: Brown
- 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 :(

- 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.

Condition:- 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.

- Rebuilt and on the road.
- Restored to as close as possible to original. 3rd 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.

Condition:- Current color: Laser Blue
- 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).

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.

- 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.

The engine that I am including with the car is 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 thing will MOVE! The paint 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.

- I am selling this car for a friend although I have watched him rebuild this over the last couple and can attest to the the workman ship of this beautiful example of a rare car, especially in this kind of condition.

The suspension is in good working order with new bushings and rear adjustable control arms and a removable stainless steel cross bar. Koni shocks on all 4 wheels. Brakes are rebuilt and work perfectly. There is custom made stainless steel exhaust system.

- 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.

- 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 Blue- 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.

- I have a Lotus Else Europa under restoration ( enclosed pictures, The wing mirrors and bumpers are missing on the photo) The car is in fact 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:
- 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.
- Regards
- Andy GrahamLotus 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.Photos |

- 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:- From Peter 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.

- 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.

- Interesting body mods. It spent most of its life in Singapore and has aircon and period bucket seats. It needs full restoration. I believe the engine ran around a year ago and it was last on the road around 2000. I have no paperwork but I do have a bill of sale from when I purchased it.

- 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.

Condition:- Engine for sale on ebay.
- Has else manifold, DCOE & valve cover.
- Before we begin, please forgive my collosal ignorance. 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

Please email me with any help I can get on installing a z-tech engine & any possible transmission options to fit the z-tech. Looking forward to hearing and meeting other owners. My shop is 3 or 4 miles from Road Atlanta and hope to drive it on track days when completed.

- Original color: L01 - British Racing Green
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.

I have just purchased an immaculate 1969 S2 Europa, VIN 652377 with 43000 original miles. The car was manufactured in October 1969. The previous owner had the car for twenty 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!

- Owned since l977 with 50000 unloved miles on the clock. 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!"

- 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!

- I have been doing a running restoration this last year, still a few bits to do. It has just passed it's MOT. I have recently fitted a Facet electric fuel pump, pertronix electronic ignition, larger wheel studs and nuts, adjustable lower rear suspension, and I have gone over every nut a bolt (they were all loose). Could write a whole page on bits that have been done.

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.

Condition:- 6/24/11 - For sale on ebay
- 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.

- I was told that it was a barn find from Canada before it was restored. The car is in very nice cosmetic shape. I added new wheel caps, a proper wiper blade, new badges an ash tray and repaired the trunk area. Other areas that need attention are shift linkage, very sloppy and throttle tends to stick. Otherwise this is a very nice Europa.

- 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 be driven as is or a perfect example for a concourse restoration. We are asking a very fair price for this car. Please call us at SportsCar LA should you have any questions. Thank you.

- 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.

- 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.

- I am selling a 1970 Lotus Europa that was part of an estate inheritance. The car has not been registered since 1990. It was stored in a garage all this time in Indiana. I recently brought it back up to Michigan and transfered the title without a problem. I have performed a lot of mechanical work on it to get it going. It runs drives and stops. Most everything electronic works, lights, heater, cooling fans etc. I would highly reccomend this be trailered home since I have not really taken it anywhere far from home. The body is 100% fiberglass and it has aged well but to restore it properly it will need a few sopts attended too but it is not all spider cracked which is a tendancy on these cars. Its non original paint and its not in the great of shape there are some scuffs. The interior is pretty nice original not major rips or tears. It is a rear engine 4 cylinder rear wheel drive and the steering is on the right hand side so this is the european version. I dont know when it was imported. I have a lot of paperwork and books on the car and will get pictures up soon!

- This 1971 S2 Europa had 10 previous owners some of whom had damaged various parts so it required a full nut and bolt rebuild. There are many non standard parts including a Twin Cam back. So purists please forgive me. It is now in nearly perfect condition (one panel needs respraying) and has covered only 1500 miles since the rebuild.

- I have a S2 Europa that my Dad bought a while back. It was being raced in our historic series here in S.A. but it's pretty sad at the moment. The chassis no. is 7103060275P and is (I think) Lotus yellow. My Dad has repaired the frame (the frame had been cut away in the engine bay) and the suspension and the next job is the bodywork, of which the main problem's are a biiig crack at the top back of the driver's door and finding a windscreen. Apart from a photo in a magazine of it racing I don't know any of it's history yet but I am e-mailing Lotus to see if the have any records of it.

- It has been some time since I last ran my S2 Europa on the track. The last 18 months have been spent house building and setting up my shed.
- On Sunday I spent the day at Sandown raceway with the Alfa Romeo Owners Club. After a really good tuning session on Saturday the car felt as lively as it had ever been. Mid-range pulling power increased noticeable after tweaking the points, plugs and main jets. I also removed the air filter. Towards the end of the first outing, the tyres had warmed and the brakes settled in. I was pulling around 7000rpm in 4th on the back straight when a valve dropped and lunched the engine. I took a few photos yesterday while the car was on the hoist. The tear –down will be interesting…
- I did manage to better my previous time by 0.8 seconds, so I have something to smile about.

- Condition very good. Complete in all aspects (badges,etc). Motor replaced in 1983 with a 2000cc Ford Pinto. Car has 42,000 genuine miles from new, thus good original carpets, original seats, etc. Is sitting as a retirement project (soon) for owner but little to actually do on it. May paint it a different color! Has been garaged for all of its life. Not for sale, the car is very happy living with its owner. Owner gets in it and can't stop smiling.

- Original color: Primer
Condition:- Current color: White
- I just found your website and I thought I should fill in some details of a Europa I owned for 13 years. I sold it in ’97 and sadly I have no idea of its current status.
- Original Color: Yellow. When I bought it, it had been resprayed very poorly (also in yellow but a darker shade)
- Color Now: White (in 1997 anyway)
- Condition: Body-off rebuild with the following modifications: rear “arms” boxed in with 16g steel from motor mounts to rear body mounts; new rear cross-member fabricated from 1”x2”x16g RHS with 1/8” thick end brackets; Heim-jointed adjustable rear lower control arms (made by me), all suspension joints renewed including front trunnion kits; Spax dampers with custom springs (different to the specs in the workshop manual which are way out for the rear suspension); new front sway-bar; new brake lines and pipes; alloy radiator pipes; rebuilt 1565cc TS engine with 2-choke downdraft Weber; new custom shift fork rod in 4-spd transaxle (original snapped through roll-pin hole); except for the shift lever, all joints in the gearshift were replaced with bronze-bushed Heim joints; original radiator assembled incorrectly so that got modified; new hand-brake cables; alloy fuel tank to different design (same capacity, lower CG); very slight flares on rear wheelarches (no longer necessary); 1/2” MGB wheel studs; ROH “Superlite” 6x13” wheels with Japanese Dunlop 185/60 (F) and 205/60 (R) tyres; Moto-Lita Mark 4 13” steering wheel; new Lotus walnut gear knob; new custom pedal bracket with ¼” alloy plate underfloor brace that extends to the matching set of bolt-holes on the passenger side; throttle linkage reinforcing plate mounted in front luggage compartment; interior fully re-trimmed in plain black vinyl (i.e. no basket-weave); new carpet; new stereo/speakers; bored out and bronze-bushed door hinges; new custom stainless steel door hinge pins and custom pin clamps; rally pins on the front bonnet (the lock broke and I could not source a replacement at the time); band-tinted Royal Doulton windscreen (it had this when I got it); new felt-lined plastic glove box (I made this myself to replace the Samsonite one that rotted away); lots of s/s and aircraft-grade hardware throughout. When I started the rebuild/restoration and stripped the interior I got a severe shock to find that the roof had apparently been cut off and then amateurishly reattached (I always wondered why the pillars looked kind of weird) so I had to do a great deal of glassing and grinding to fix that. I used some unidirectional CF to reinforce the pillars (only the A-pillars had been cut; the second cut was midway along the roof and I have never been able to work out why someone would do that). The front end bodywork was damaged in a crash so I cut it off and bought a replacement from a local supplier, but I didn’t know there were two different S2 front ends and of course I got the wrong one. Since it was custom-ordered I couldn’t return it and I eventually got it to fit okay. I also made moulds from the bumpers and made lightweight fibreglass ones to avoid the rust and scratching inherent in the steel originals. It had been out of registration for a while and when I went to get it re-registered the RTA would not accept the chassis # on the plate, they wanted to see the one stamped in the chassis itself and I was unable to find it so they issued a new number (which I don’t have a record of) and shortly after I found the original, on the outside of the right rear chassis arm near the motor mount – it just had “0270Q” instead of the whole string.
- I don’t know if this is of any use since I no longer own the car; If I think of any more details I’ll let you know. These mediocre pics show it just before I sold it.

- Engine #: 821-30/0932
- Transmission #: 336-56/0646 4 Speed
- Original color: L09 - Royal Blue
Condition:- Current color: Navy metallic that has aged reasonably well given the woes of fiberglass.
- Sold in May 2010 - PO: Joseph Olin Agoura Hills, California, USA
- Update 1/5/10 - Bradley D. Olin
- I've been working on the car for my dad, Joseph Olin, in preparation to sell it. The car is currently being garaged in Santa Cruz, California.
- Recent work since the last registry update:
- Replaced Passenger Window Motor
- Replaced Valve-Cover Gasket
- Replaced Spark Plugs
- New sealing fuel cap
- Replaced Air Filter with K&N
- Carburetor Adjusted
- Optimized Distributor Timing (needed advancing)
- Replaced approximately 10' of inner-chassis hard-line with silicon hose
- Also of note:
- Fuel Tank was replaced at some point with a larger tank. Approx. 9 gallons
- Needs Attention:
- Front Sway Bar Mount Has Snapped off on Passenger Strut
- Interior is still rough - Door panels, carpet, headliner need TLC
- Choke line needs adjustment
- Passenger door alignment issues (door opens fine from inside)
- Photos
- Update 6/3/08:
- Overall, a good unrestored Lotus but worn.
- The paint appears to be original and looks good from about 10 feet away, but because it is 38 years old it does have cracks and scratches (someone keyed the bonnet). There are also some small cracks in the fiberglass at the front left fender, and the nose looks slightly "dented" along with the bumper.
- The frame is rust-free.
- The engine starts right up and runs strong with no smoke (the previous owner said it was recently rebuilt but it didn't come with receipts). Shifts and brakes well (new master cylinder). Weber carburetor and a gear-reduction starter have been added (the original carb and starter are included). The engine has been recently tuned up with new plugs, points, condenser, cap, and rotor.
- Most of the electrics work, including the power windows. Turn signals and brake lights do not work (some of the wiring looks disconnected).
- The interior is original but worn; the drivers seat is taped, the carpet is bad, the headliner has rips, the vinyl top of the dash has one 2" crack, but the wood dash is better than it appears - only the varnish is cracking.
- The glass all looks good with no chips/cracks.
- The muffler needs to be replaced.
- The alternator works but is misaligned.
- The car features rare Cosmic wheels (6 wheels come with the car!).
- The tires are the wrong size; they rub on the inner wheel wells on sharp turns (wheels are correct though).
- The passenger door needs to be adjusted.
- Update 2/2/09:
- Will re-paint to original color later this spring.
- The engine is strong and has remained problem free other than some timing issues with a problem distributor.
- Have addressed the following:
- Radiator and cooling system replacing all hoses.
- Replaced broken shift-lever rod in transaxle.
- Replaced broken hinge on passenger door (ouch! What a pain!)
- Replaced broken Koni shocks, front and rear with new Konis. (full-soft)
- Replaced ball-joints.
- Replaced brake hydraulic cylinders.
- Replaced brake pads & shoes.
- Replaced broken exhaust manifold bolts and re-attached header.
- Rebuilt Weber DC36 downdraft carb.
- Installed new muffler and tail pipe.
- Installed new Kumho 175/70/13 on Cosmics.
- Re-attached a number of wires so that nearly all gauges work.
- Next steps:
- Getting gauges to work accurately.
- Spec-out the interior for refitting liners/carpets/door vinyl.
- Install new wiring.
- Determine level of pain for refinishing and painting.
- Up until today’s broken ignition switch…the car on the road has been incredibly rewarding. Makes me smile just to fold my 55 year old frame into the seat!

Condition:- Current color: White
- Frame off restoration in 1999.
- The exterior is in good shape, there are a few small chips and the usual stress cracks, all the badges are there and all the chrome looks good. The interior looks good. The dash has been painted with a textured paint and looks great (I think it looks better than the wood grain). All of the gauges and switches work. The center console is plywood wrapped in vynel(looks nice but I think it would be better with the original console). There are a few scuffs in the seats but over all they are in great shape and very comfortable. The headliner needs to be redone for some reason its the only thing on the car done poorly. The engine has been rebuilt and runs good and strong the carbs have been replaced with a single downdraft carb. The rims have been powder coated and has new tires. It also has adjustable coilovers in the rear.
- Purchased from ebay 7/26/06.

- Original color: L05 - Carnival Red
Condition:- Current color: Black
- 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.

- It has been sitting in a covered garage since 1976. So it's very dusty and some things that should move are stuck. Like the crankshaft, for one. :-) The good news is that I bought it from the original owner, it has less than 30,000 miles on it, and everything is there.

- I did it now, I just purchased a pretty cool project 70 Europa. It's got super potential, a lot already done. Zetec, 5 speed, "Alfa Sport" twin Webber 45 DCOEs with a reprogrammed ignition box. Twin link rear set up, flares. It ought to go like "Yea Baby!"
- The fellow did some other interesting things. He reverse cloned the gas tank so he'd have 2 instead of just the one 7 gallon. He reverse cloned the radiator too! Yea, left and right radiators. Also, he installed what looks like it's gotta be factory, a solid panel sunroof. It doesn't let any light in, not sure what it's called really. I don't know what it came out of, it looks great. Fully boxed, fully framed (all fiberglass, you'd swear its factory) with drain tubes, etc. Slick. I think I might try to make a different panel for it with a double bubble top, so I can fit in with a helmet on.
- Lots to still do, I'll be screaming for help!
- If I regain my sanity I might try to move it on to someone with the time, talent, bucks, whatever to see it done. Meanwhile, I'm still dreaming of paint schemes.

- Fiberglass in good shape but will need to be sanded, primed and painted. Interior is all there but will need new carpet and seats recovered. Wiring will need to be done and guages and switches reinstalled. Steering column and shifter need to be reinstalled. Have two engines including one in car but will need to get running. Nothing major is believed to be wrong with either.

- I purchased it from Jerome Winick in 11/1982 for $3,500 and sold it about a year later to Sara Hansen.
- Here are some pics of the car. I did manage to get a few speeding tickets in and around Pacific Coast Hwy/Santa Monica and Malibu. One of which I scanned to prove it ran. The photos are out at the Paramount Ranch Sports Car Race Track before it was transferred to the National Park Service.

- I am in the process of slowly restoring this Europa as time allows. The previous owner had the engine rebuilt but I have not tried to start it because the dash and electricals were mostly removed when I got it. I have finished the dash removal (@#%$@* defrost vent screws) and am redoing it currently. The interior needs some work--seats re-upholstered, carpet cleaned, etc. The body is in good condition except for the usual stress cracks. A paint job will be required. I found a set of Cosmic wheels and had them re-finished. That's where I am at this point.

- PO: Theodore Hollo - Aurora, Ohio, USA
- This car was purchased disassembled, as a project. I have too many projects, and have decided to sell the Lotus as it is.
- The car has the 1545 CC Renault engine. This appears to be the original. The engine was rebuilt in Cleveland last year. This included new pistons/sleeves, valves, rockers, pushrods etc, and has been installed in the car. I replaced the clutch and had the transmission checked and cleaned. Electrical wiring has not been completed, but all appears there, and most was tagged on dissasembly. A newer battery is included.
- The body has no major damage nor repairs. There are some spider cracks typical of almost any Lotus this age. Suitable for a driver, should be done up if used for show. The car was kept indoors, and has no noticeable rust. All is very easy to assemble/dissasemble.
- Other work done includes new brakes all around, new clutch, new tires, new exhaust (you may want a quieter muffler). Also, many of the suspension fasteners were replaced during assembly.
- The interior is partially dissasembled, as I had started to remove the dash for re veneering and never completed. All parts and gages appear to be there for reassembly.
- I believe everything required to put back together is there, but what you see in the photos is what you get. I will not be responsible for any missing items or fasteners.
- The car has a current and valid Ohio title.
- The vehicle is not running, but is rolling. Customer will be responsible for pick-up. I would urge a trailer or hauler. A car dolly might work, but the vehicle is low clearance and could be damaged. Weight is around #1400.
- The mileage is not backed by documentation and could possibly be inaccurate, although I believe it is a good reading. Engine was out when titled, so Ohio marks title accordingly. It is obvious that this vehicle has been garaged. This vehicle has a smooth shifting transmission.
- Other work required will be reattachment of wiring, assembly and cosmetics of interior, redo of dash (recommended), adjustment of valves, carburetor, timing etc. As shown, documents include the Shop Manual, engine manual, parts and assembly "tips" sheets, and a spare manual that has series 2 info.

- Original color: L10 - Bahama Yellow
Condition:- Current color: English White
- The car is remarkably untouched, original and uncut down to it's original wheels and hubcaps. It's wiring system also seems to be original and uncut, escaping from the "improvements" many of these cars suffer from. The chassis has surface corrosion but after a swipe with a wire brush in the initial inspection, it too seems to be in decent shape, unstressed at the shock towers or at the front end. The Renault engine is, at this point, unstarted, but is free and turns easily. 287 has improved markedly from many liberal doses of PB Blaster penetrant.
- The body will be removed this fall when a closer inspection and clean up will be well under way. So far, so good. Completion 2012?
- Looking for history on this car if available.
- From ebay ad - 4/24/10
- This car is complete and original but has been off the road and last registered in the 1980's. It has the original Renault 4 cylinder engine, it is not running and no attempt has been made to start it. The glass body is straight with layers of old flaking paint but no damage other than where someone put a hole in the drivers floor by apparently jacking up with a floor jack. The frame is solid and it is nice that in general nothing has been taken apart or removed from the car so it is ready and waiting to be either fixed up to make a driver or restored.

- The car apparently sat in the weather for years, & the interior is poor. The engine, head off, is seized up. I have a Silvertop 20V Toyota engine for installation, per John Pels of Houston, retaining Toyota ECU & fuel injection system as stock.
- Early stages of body off resurrection, NOT restoration. Wilwood hanging brake & clutch pedals. Plan is to totally rewire the car with C.B. protected busses for the various systems.
- I would be interested in knowing more of the car's history.

- PO: Mike Allen - San Antonio, Texas, USA - 6/22/07
- Hi all,
- Mike Allen here in San Antonio, Tx.
- For many years I have dreamed of having a Europa and it looks like I am going to get my wish soon. I located a 70 that appears to be fairly complete and the body looks like it has never been violated. The suspension all looks like it came from the factory; no obvious repairs.
- The car is currently painted orange but according to the S/N information I have been able to track down it left the factory Bahamas Yellow (actually Lotus Yellow - ed.).
- Engine is still the R16 Renault with an aftermarket aluminum intake manifold (Hermes?) and a DCOE. I have not checked the engine S/N yet but I have no reason to suspect it is not the original. Original seats & inner door panels are missing as is the drivers wing window. (anyone have an extra?) Otherwise it looks complete and not hacked on. It also has 13" Panasports or Minilite wheels.
- Best of all, $1800.00.

Condition:- Parted out to a number of people and will not be a complete car again but gave it's life for a good cause. Many parts had severely deteriorated from water getting in the plastic bins (3 were full) and would have been a salvageable car a few years ago pre water ingress.

- Ebay Listing:
- Has been off the road for about 7 years.I have stored it in my garage, and started it quite frequently. The motor was rebuilt around 4,000 miles ago,and runs very well. It runs cool,and has good oil pressure. It is fitted with a downdraft Weber carb,and a K+N filter. Included,is a Hermes sidedraft Weber conversion kit,with the intake manifold,40 DCOE Weber,K+N filter,header,and muffler-a rare kit!IThe car is fitted with Yokohama tires on Panasport alloy wheels,both of which are excellent. Cosmetically,it has the usual spider-cracks,and needs paint. It needs to be gone thru-brakes need bleeding,the electrical system is not horrible,but needs attention-a good example that could be really nice without too much outlay. In addition,I will include a parts car-it has been stripped of most major components(except engine),and I will include all from that. A factory Europa manual is included. I have owned this for 20 years,and enjoyed it's ultra-precise handling very much.

- New Owner Notes:
- Has been off the road for about 7 years. (Trust me, it shows.) I have stored it in my garage (Does not quite explain the accumulation of dirt unless the roof had a hole in it),and started it quite frequently. The motor was rebuilt around 4,000 miles ago,and runs very well. It runs cool,and has good oil pressure (Hmmm,not sure how he would know that as the guage does not work). It is fitted with a downdraft Weber carb,and a K+N filter. Included,is a Hermes sidedraft Weber conversion kit,with the intake manifold,40 DCOE Weber,K+N filter,header,and muffler-a rare kit! The car is fitted with Yokohama tires on Panasport alloy wheels,both of which are excellent. Cosmetically,it has the usual spider-cracks (Along with major chunks of paint simply missing and at least two major cracks in the body),and needs paint. It needs to be gone thru-brakes need bleeding,the electrical system is not horrible (besides being forced to get down on my knees with a screwdriver to get it started and the fact that NOTHING electrical works),but needs attention-a good example that could be really nice without too much outlay. (Tell that to my body man).

Tires are new. stainless steel hinge pin kit has been installed in drivers door. Still has it's original ashtray, which always is missing from these cars. 90% original paint, no rust on chassis. Needs paint and some light interior work, mostly just a carpet and wood refinishing on the dash. One small wear mark on drivers seat but no tears in upholstery, door panels nice, headliner nice. Nice driveable car that would make a fun, easy project. Drive it home.

- This car recently came out of a heated shop where it was stored since 1993. The car shows 67,000 on the odometer and has the original Renault 4 cylinder motor married to a 4 speed transaxel. The motor and trans are original to the car as is verified by their numbers.
- After flushing all the fluids and performing some general maintenance on the car it started right up and idled smoothly (although the carb will need adjusting and cleaning from the long storage). I took a quick compression test and the cylinders all read between 160 and 168 . The engine wiring harness will need some sorting based on some wires requiring reconnecting (nothing butchered just needs tracing down and reconnected in the correct place).. The clutch feels fine (has plenty of pressure) and the car shifts well through all the gears. I also installed a new battery along with new platinum plugs. When stored new antifreeze was installed and it still looked new when I examined the cooling system before starting it. VERY strong running engine!
- The brakes will need attention after sitting for as long as they were (the rear brake pistons look like they had been replaced shortly before storage along with the passenger side half shaft). The car is silver in color with a black bottom edge trim as shown in the photos.
- The steel chassis shows NO sign of damage and looks to be rust free.
- Body: There is some checking and crazing in the top coat in various places. Overall the body is in good shape for the age and was probably saved from major abuse by being stored indoors since 1993.
- Interior: The seats are in pretty decent shape (silver and black). There is no carpet installed so the pan and trans tunnel are bare fiberglass (originally those areas were covered in carpet) although the carpet panel is present behind the seats on the rear bulkhead. The original dash was removed and aluminum panels were installed with the original gauges placed in the panels by a previous owner. This handiwork will need to be undone and the original wood dash re-installed if one wanted to go back original (the original wood dash is included but the vener is peeling). The wiring under the dash will also need sorting as the prior owner did not connect the wires back to their correct places so some of the switches work and others dont. I did check out the door window motors (by jumping out the correct wires) and they work fine.and the ventilation blower and electric cooling fan motors work fine.
- Tires and rims; The tires are in decent shape for tires that have been sitting for 19 years. I wouldn't use them for driving it though;:) The rims on the car are Shelbys. I do have a set of original Europa rims which are available in place of the rims currently on the car. Your choice but I will need a couple of days to get them swapped out before you can pick up the car.
