A once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a time-warp example of the iconic Lotus Europa.

In the same ownership since 1975 and with a history portfolio extending to two volumes, the vehicle is presented in outstanding, original condition.

The original specification includes a Big Valve Lotus Twin Cam engine with a five speed gearbox and Brand Lotus wheels with Goodyear NCT 3 tyres. The original paintwork is in gleaming black, with gold coach lines which, along with the oatmeal interior, makes this vehicle the most sought after in terms of its colour combination.

Maintained over the years, regardless of cost, by a local Lotus expert, the vehicle has benefitted from regular maintenance and upkeep, as and when required. The history portfolio includes every MOT certificate, bills and receipts for items including the fitment of a genuine galvanised Lotus chassis and an interior retrim.

A regular attendee of Lotus related events, its accolades include numerous concourse wins whilst in the current owners' custody. The history file includes many mementos from these attendances, dating back to the early 1980s. A pocket size record book is also provided, logging the complete history of the vehicle, even down to the petrol fill-ups.

Presented in outstanding condition, with a long MOT and in need of nothing, this important part of Lotus history now awaits another caring owner to drive away and immediately enjoy.

Please be quick as it won't be here for long!
