Descripción
The Lotus Europa was a mid-engined sports car designed by Colin Chapman and manufactured in the UK by Lotus Cars. Several variants were produced between 1966 and 1975, including this 1972 Series 2 edition. The Europa was never a mass-produced car by the usual standards, with just over 9, 200 examples built in ten years. Externally, the early S2s differed little from the later S1s, but they offered greater interior comfort: electric windows, adjustable seats, a tinted windscreen and a new dashboard with a wooden front panel gave a more luxurious feel. Chassis number 416 shown here was built in 1972, left-hand drive to European specification, and benefited from a complete restoration in the 2000s by APC in the Netherlands. A new body shell was purchased direct from the Lotus factory (invoice attached) and a new 1565cc Renault Crossflow engine was fitted. The following options were added: aluminium wheels, side skirts, second fan, electric fuel pump and kill switch. The car is painted in an elegant midnight blue colour, with a black leather interior in excellent condition. It symbolises the golden age of British motoring, with exceptional value for money today. This Lotus Europa has been meticulously restored and I have always carefully maintained the car and made all the necessary investments to keep it in concours condition. Recent work has included a new braking system, new door seals, carburettor adjustment and specialist servicing, silent block and geometry. Interested? Come and discover it, certainly one of the most beautiful on the Europa market with Renault engine. +32 472 41 56 41 Nothing to foresee, other than getting behind the wheel and enjoying. Sale motivated solely by a new project of the heart: the purchase of a Jaguar XK 120.
