I came close to buying a Europa and then an XK 120 for real short money
and then a Griffith GT. but I had nowhere to put them as far as garage space went.. I barely talked my mother out of her garage for my 914-6, back in 73... If my dad had only owned a warehouse.. I'd be rich now..... |

I drove one about 45 years ago. I remember it as being like a Formula Ford for the street, except the FF was easier to get in and out of.

I recall a gal at college had a new JPS,and magnesium Minilites,the car looked good.
http://www.dailyturismo.com/2015/04/10k-si...1970-lotus.html A Europa yearning for a careful build,much reinforcement designing needed. You would want to have a pushrod V8.Easy to spend a lot of money on that engine. I'm of a mind that a lighter 2.2L turbo 4 would be a better fit. The car so light and delicate to begin with. |

Back in the mid 80's I owned a Series II Europa that had a 1600 Renault engine but had a Gordini head plus weber sidedrafts it ran circles around twin cams plus many other cars at autox events. Miss that one tremendously.

I always wanted a Lotus Europa. And an Elan.
For model collectors Fujimi has a nice Europa kit available now. http://www.hlj.com/product/FUJ12629/Aut Attached thumbnail(s)
