Awesome car especially with that orange paint! 😀
Hey, guys! It would look great in your driveway! :D Thanks! :) Jack
Great car!
As i mentioned yesterday, i got a ride in a neighbor's (1973 model) back around 1974. The car just zipped around corners, was likely the best handling car i've ever ridden in, albeit one sits at quite the difficult angle in one.
I really wish I had had that experience! But alas, its time has probably gone. Thanks! :) Jack
cool❤❤
Hey, Michael! It really is cool, and I'm grateful that owners bring their Lotus's to car shows for everyone to see! Thanks! :) Jack
WOW THIS IS A GRAND VEHICLE 😎
Hey, Dee! Not many were around where I was....I'm glad that I have the opportunity to see them now! Thanks! :) Jack
Described by some enthusiasts as looking like a squashed bread van. Some Europa trivia - the front bumper is one from the reverse-rake rear screen 1959-67 Ford Anglia, fitted upside-down. Unfortunately my source of that info didn't inform me of the origins of the rear bumper, but I'd take a gamble it was from Ford again.
Hey, Mick! That's interesting to know...evidently American manufacturers weren't the only ones to borrow from the parts bin! Thanks! :) Jack
Front steering was from Triumph spitfire as were the front hubs and callipers, the rear brakes were Ford Cortina with Hillman imp stub axles through specially created alloy bearing carriers.
That indeed is a lot of parts sharing! Thanks for that information! :) Jack
The wheels are after market, not original. The original wheels were steel lotus wheels with chrome hubcaps.
Thanks for the update! :) Jack
