1971 Lotus Europa Twin-Cam

Please note this car is not MOT exempt as erroneously catalogued, and does not have a current MOT.

•  According to the Lotus Europa Twin Cam Register, Chassis No. 74/1041P was built in the Autumn of 1971 and finally invoiced on 28/10/1971. It's listed as having Engine No.25136, a 4-speed 336-56 gearbox and was originally finished in L14 (Colorado Orange). The stunning little Europa you see today has come a long way since then
• It was subject to a 12-year, £30,000 plus fastidious body-off restoration which included a rebuilt chassis, new electrics, a new beige and Oatmeal interior, a fresh suit of clothes in amazing Roman Purple and the big-valve engine was rebuilt and set up by the legendary Richard Winter of Europa Engineering (now 145bhp)
• The full report of works runs to five pages and is too long to list here, so we encourage interested parties to come and see the history and the car for themselves to fully appreciate the effort that has been invested
• Once all finished, the Lotus joined our vendor's significant private Collection of British motor cars a few years ago and has been maintained to our vendor's high standards by his 'in-house' expert mechanic including a service and an overhaul of the fuel system to ensure the car starts easily and runs sweetly
• This immaculate Twin Cam is very sensibly guided when you consider what’s been spent on it, and is a cost-effective entry into the world of 1970s classic sports cars
