Description:

You could be driving this by Fathers day!!!
Chassis#2266R, 1972 Europa Twin Cam, 4 speed. This is a survivor I purchased several years ago from a collection, I have thoroughly enjoyed going through the mechanical stuff and bringing this car back to the road. The list of what has been done is huge (see below.) Mechanically this car is great. I recently drove it down from Oregon to California, over 600 miles.
As a driver there is nothing that needs to be done. It is ready to go! Finish is Lotus pistachio and it looks good from 20' but up close there are paint chips, plenty of fiberglass checking, and several minor fiberglass repairs. There is also a small crack in the windshield (by the mirror) that has been stable for some time but may eventually need to be replaced.
