Your opportunity to own a Lotus Europa S2 but this is not one for the purist as it is fitted with a 1800cc, K Series, VVC engine as fitted to the early Lotus Elise and MGFs. The car is quite lively as the engine produces around 140 to 150 BHP and the car only weighs 640 Kg.The car is much more reliable than the original with no valve clearances to set, no fiddling with points or having to deal with carburetor issues.
I have owned this car for over 21 years but it has been stored for the past 17 years. I have recently been recommissioning the car and it has had the following new components: battery, cam belts, clutch, oil, oil filter, rear brake cylinders, rear brake shoes and front suspension bushes.
During the time I have owned the car it has had the VVC engine fitted, it has a Janspeed exhaust from an Elise, which makes a nice throaty sound, Cupro-Nickel brake pipes all round, stainless steel braided flexible brake pipes, upholstered and painted. The paintwork is in good condition but not in showroom condition as this is a 55 year old car. This is recorded with DVLA as a Historic Vehicle and does not need an MOT but I have just had it tested to confirm its road worthiness. The car is also exempt of road tax.
Drives well and a real head turner, your opportunity to acquire a mid-engined sports car and a piece of British racing history.
