Agreed, Colin would sue or complain at the drop of a hat... He loved that stuff.

I simply believe that Colin had no time to care about the GS Europa. He knew it was going to be a failure. It was a small blip to him. He had far more important things to be worried about. 1975 was a difficult year for Lotus. Moonraker was costing money, the Elite was not selling, the Esprit was underpowered and he wasn't winning in F1.
