Well, the scammers are really out in full force now. I had 20 emails from one couple alone trying to sell me a '74 Europa special using a members pics of his car. The giveaway was the motor has paint peeling off the valve covers in the exact same places and the car is parked in the drive way with the trees being identical. Also an email yesterday from Canada supposedly, trying to sell me a car that is back on Ebay today with the exact description of the restoration done on it. I emailed both owners to let them know what they are doing. So be3 careful,the first couple in Calif. almost got me but I guess I do not have alzheimers yet and remembered both cars from the Lotus sites.
