Description
Oakmere are delighted to offer this exceptional, matching numbers 1975 Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special for sale from our Cheshire showroom.
The Lotus Europa was produced from 1966 until reaching the end of its production run in 1975 culminating in what you see here, the very desirable Twin Can Special.
PAO350P left the Hethel production line in April 1975 and was sold new by Station Garage Taplow in Berkshire.
Finished in Monaco White with Oatmeal interior, the car spend the majority of its early life in the dry climate of South Africa with its then owner.
The car returned to the UK in 1996 by which point had received a colour change to red.
It found it's way to a serial Lotus restorer and between 2017 and 2020 the car was returned to the stunning example you see here with a full nut and bolt restoration.
No stone was left unturned and PAO350P was refinished to an incredibly high standard in her original colour, Monaco White with period gold pinstriping.
The interior has also been re-trimmed throughout in original material in the correct Oatmeal colour, just as it left Hethel.
A thorough mechanical restoration was complete during the same period including a full rebuild of the matching numbers Lotus-Ford 1558 Twin Cam and original matching numbers 5 speed transaxle.
The desirable GKN alloy wheels are original to the car and have been refinished accordingly, including the trunk mounted spare.
The level of detail on this car is astounding with thousand of pounds of bill and invoices included.
PAO350P comes complete with a Lotus Certificate Of Provenance.
This is probably the nicest Europa we've come across in recent years and must be viewed to fully appreciate the quality of the restoration.
Fitted with AVO adjustable dampers all round.
