Lotus Europa S2 1971 - Restored

For sale is a restored 1971 Lotus Europa S2, following a 2 year restoration. The work done on this car is extensive with all of the major items either replaced or restored. This includes fresh paint, new chassis, new wiring loom, new bushes and seals throughout the car (body and suspension), media blasted suspension parts, new water tubes, cables, and the list goes on.

This car was recently advertised on BAT and missed out on the reserve by a small amount. Here is the link. Feel free to check it out and the comments.

Items to note:

Front end has been repaired prior to me owning the car. When preparing the body for paint I noticed areas which had been repaired. It appears it has a whole new front end fitted. You would not notice from the outside that this work has been done.

Summary:

This car was restored in 2016. I have since had a back operation and working on cars is proving difficult for me. Therefore I am looking to sell. I have driven the car to a couple of shows and always walked away with a trophy. It is a real crowd puller and gets a lot of attention.
