For sale is a restored 1971 Lotus Europa S2, following a 2

items either replaced or restored. This includes fresh paint, new chassis, new
wiring loom, new bushes and seals throughout the car (body and suspension), media blasted suspension parts, new water tubes, cables, and the list goes on.
This car was recently advertised on BAT and missed out on
the reserve by a small amount. Here is the link. Feel free to check it out and
the comments.
I have this car advertised elsewhere and have the right to pull it off
ebay at anytime.
PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE BIDDING TO CONFIRM IT IS STILL AVAILABLE.

Items to note:
Front end has been repaired prior
to me owning the car. When preparing the body for paint I noticed areas which
had been repaired. It appears it has a whole new front end fitted. You would
not notice from the outside that this work has been done.
Summary:
This car was restored in 2016. I
have since had a back operation and working on cars is proving difficult for
me. Therefore I am looking to sell. I have driven the car to a couple of shows
and always walked away with a trophy. It is a real crowd puller and gets a lot
of attention.
