Im looking for an early lotus europa rebuild project, if anyone knows where theres one???

Would love one of those as a project, jps colours or pestachio green. Best place to find one is inbetween the rocking horse dropings and the crock of gold.

Best of luck and I hope you find one.

There is a body shop at Moulten seas end that specialises in painting them. They may know of one.

I know where there was one in barn. He didn't want to sell it five years ago but I wouldn't have had that sort of money any way.

Friend of mine bought one for less than I paid for a 15 year old Japanese tin top. I wasn't convinced until I had a play in the thing partially restored, great fun and worth a fortune in the right places and condition.

What year/series is it? And, are you going to keep it stock? I've just started a resto-mod on an early S2 (no signal warts/door handles etc) that's getting a Zetec mated to an NG3 gearbox using a Europa TC bellhousing, plus a home brew spyder type chassis that echoes the Lotus 47 (different rear suspension).
