    When I bought it in 1976, there were several plaques on it which said "Specially built for Eugene A Lawrence" who was purportedly a Jamaican.

    Now in a sorry condition - completely dismantled and hasn't turned a wheel for about twenty years, but partly restored with lots of new bits scattered around it in my garage.

    I put over 100,000 miles on it before I took it off the road just after I became self employed, which is why I have never had the time to put it back together.

  • 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.

    This body has the remains of 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. B

    Cosmetic - good. Mechanical - fair. Has 2L Ford Zetec engine with NG3 gearbox, and Megasquirt fuel injection using Suzuki GSX 600 throttle bodies. Needs rewiring, front suspension, gearbox output seals, Windshield leak fix, and other mechanical repairs. Engine and gearbox replacement done by previous owner, as was the Megasquirt EFI, so I'm not the person to contact for info on how to do it - perhaps with time.

    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".

    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. B

    I have the non fibreglass remains of 74 / 2664R. A Twincam Special 5 speed that went up in a ball of fire. If I can ever afford a Banks body it will likely get one. B

    I just picked up a used spare shell. No Title as it was sold separate to someone in Europe (allegedly) However the VIN tag is still on the shell.
    I will be stripping the shell and using the spare parts to complete my rebuild of 3649R. The shell will be kept for any bodywork salvage I need.
