Description
Lotus Europa S2 rolling chassis, standard original. No body shell or V5...
Correct original S2 chassis from a low mileage 1969 Lotus Europa S2, taken off the road 1990 then dry stored,
straight and without any accident damage.
Stripped, cleaned and reconditioned. Additional unobtrusive strengthening has been added to the weak points,
where the T and Y sections meet the backbone.
No internal corrosion. 3 primer coats finished off in 2k gloss.
Includes rear cross brace which has had the same treatment.
All ready to build up from.
This is a great project to build up to a rolling chassis and then a body and V5 could be purchased to complete,
(Lotus use the body for the V5 id, not the chassis).
Or maybe you have a resto Europa already and this is a great starting point for you to then add the body too...
