There's some interesting discussion in the comments here on the Lotus Europa ve. the 914. Oddly enough more than one opinion seems to be the Lotus is more fun but everyone would actually rather have a 914. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1974-lotu...opa-twin-cam-9/ |

A properly set up Europa is otherworldly, hard to explain just how dialed into your synapses it is.
It is a very different experience, addictive but in small doses. I decided an Elan was more livable and usable for regular use. I'd take a healthy 914 over either to drive to San Francisco. Thanks for the post. |
