Lotus Europa 1970 Project Car Sold - £POA

This car is offered in excellent condition but unfortunately needing a replacement engine as the one fitted has developed a long horizontal crack.

Originally fitted with a modified Renault 16, 1470cc, inline-four engine and a four-speed gearbox.

This lovely 1970 Lotus Europa has had over 34k spent on restoration works over the last ten years. To include a new Spyder chassis with the Renault Fuego transaxle conversion. All new wishbones and suspension with coil-over shocks, new bushes, bearings etc. The engine was replaced with a Renault 807 Gordini style alloy engine, fitted with twin 40 DCOE Weber carburettors and a four-branch sports exhaust. Repainted in yellow with the interior restored in black and yellow leather and the dashboard refurbished. The car is fitted with electric windows, central locking with an immobiliser and a period looking digital radio, the car’s alloy wheels have been refurbished.

Its the perfect project to try a more modern engine approac maybe fit a hybusa engine or fit an original lotus twin cam. It's the perfect base car, just the engine to decide on.
