Going to have a look at this tomorrow

[dalla]

1970 Lotus Europa S2. Upgraded Gordini crossflow engine, 1740 ccm 170 hp.
If it is as good as it looks iam having it. I recently sold my Dax Rush, and have decided for a Europa for my next toy.
The wheels will have to go though..

 

[Fred@BTM]

you actually plan on spending money on that? you on drugs?

 

[Turkish]

lol, don't beat about the bush Fred

Not really my thing but it's different, how do they drive?

 

[JoeyD]

I really like Europas :S
looks like a nice example too tbh

 

[ekaJ]

Looks f**king stupid! haha

 

[SimonR.]

Not really my thing but it's different, how do they drive?

4wds n bkwds n round dem corners

 

[Spee]

I can't stand the looks, but I drove one about 15 years ago, swapped a go round Castle Combe for a go in my Integrale. It was awesome! They drive like a race car, by that I mean like a single seater, it really is a rapid car despite the low power, the way you can string complex corners together after very little practice is unreal! Enjoy!

 

[jim cook]

Looks mint to me... Do it

Quite.

That's the kind of response I was looking for. Sounds like fun.

 

[danzel]

no offence but that is hideous!

 

[john.med]

Do it, if you can live with the looks. Seen one in the flesh, and they look much better.

 

[ch!ppen]

Not the prettiest Lotus ever, but it's still epic imo. Very nice

Ok guys, here is some more pictures of the car.
It really was in a spectacular condition, and i for one love the look of a Europa.
The Renault Gordini engine is a thing of beauty. Iam going to testdrive the car during the week, and if it is allright, iam having it.

 

[Jason_E]

That is so mint! Hope you enjoy it mate . It looks odd but I like it!

 

[not normal dan]

its certainly different!

 

[Dave..]

For a 40 year old car, that is in fantastic condition.

But about as desirable as chlamydia

[Christopher]

Awesome.

But... Kenmeri?

 

[DrR]

I like it!

 

[dalla]

Awesome.

Yeah i still would like a Ken Meri. But it will just be too big of a hassle getting one to Denmark.
Plus i've always liked the Europa, and now seems like the right time to get on.
Funnily enough, the japanese are crazy for Lotus Europas.

No pictures sorry, but there was a lot of impressive stuff. He also had an Ultima Spyder.
