1975, Colin didn't care about the GS Lotus Europa. By that that time, he didn't care about the Europa period. He had moved on to other projects.

The Elan was done, the Seven was given to Caterham. The Europa was at the end on its run, the Elite / Eclat were selling and the Esprit was about to be introduced. The Esprit was twice the price of a Europa.

And in F1, the 72 was history, the 76 a failure, the 77 a moving testbed. 1977, the ground effects Type 78 arrived in F1.
