Description of 1968 Lotus Europa

Lotus Europa 460321 S1A; not too many left in the world in this condition. This vehicle was rescued from a barn demolition in winter 2007. Very complete but not driven since 1976. I purchased the car as a winter project for my shop; YEAH RIGHT. 11 years later plus 2 heart attacks; 2 replaced hips, a fused neck and a blown out eye and here you have it; not too bad. Front 3/4 frame surgically removed and reconstructed. Suspension "I" made out of 12 ga. steel. Typical thin lotus fiberglass. Never wrecked. Engine run real nice. Interior is banks inspired. If you have taken the time to read this, you know what this car is and the effort involved to get it this far. I don't need to quote "Hagerty" on the history of the Lotus Europa. Lots of fabrication and thought; lots of new parts; Brakes, tires, lights,hoses, front and rear suspension, sealed tank, functional turn signals,custom carpet, headliner,hydraulic rear deck struts, race car style side windows, Spal fan keeps everything nice and cool.
I know there is more.. sooooo.... If you can; come look. Contact me with questions. We built this car. We are a small repair garage with a reputation for doing this kind of thing. It is not a show car, But...Real Nice.
