1974 Lotus Europa Special 5-speed, Big Valve twin cam engine, 35K miles, built April 1974, nice oatmeal interior, only 3-owner history. Car starts easily, runs and drives OK. This is a very nice driver that has been maintained and driven and would be certainly welcome at local shows, car club activities and road rallies. It has undergone a frame-off restoration by its 2nd owner back in the mid 1990's. I have detailed pictures, receipts and reports from the restoration shop work completed when it was then painted black. The 20-year old restoration is now showing its age, the paint is tired, original color was Lagoon Blue, has cracked windshield at rear view mirror connection, the shifter is sloppy and needs new bushings/adjustments. Headliner and sunvisors included, but not installed. Dash veneer has some cracking, after market steering wheel. chrome fair to good, no body damage evident. Car has newer tires, rebuilt brakes, rebuilt Stromberg carbs, new starter, new center caps, new exhaust system. Car retains its rear trunk box. All electrics, lights and gauges appear to be working.
Hagerty value guide lists this car in Fair condition at $12, 200 and Good condition at $18, 100. Add 10% for the 5-speed and add additional 10% for Special, so you do the math. This car is easily between Fair and Good and priced right at only $14, 900
Please remember that this is an antique vehicle 42 years old. It needs some TLC and is consistent with a vehicle with this mileage, age and use. Car is available for pre-bid inspections and I would always encourage and welcome this. I am proud of my 100% excellent feedback score and always try to give accurate descriptions so that there are no disappointments. I am open and receptive to realistic offers. Vehicle is listed for sale by other venues and media, so I reserve the right to terminate the listing at any time.Those with less than ten (10) or negative feedback history do NOT bid unless you contact me and communicate first, otherwise your bids will be retracted and bidder banned from further bidding. The winning bid is NOT a right of first refusal, but a commitment to purchase the vehicle regardless of anything, so a non-refundable deposit via PayPal is required within 24 hours of auction ending and arrangements to be made for pickup of item.
NOTE: Will sell world-wide, but any and all shipping/transport arrangements to be made and paid for by winning bidder/buyer.
