Jensen Motors Lotus Europa 1973 - LotusTalk

proracer · 05-23-2009, 05:47 AM

I am looking for information and photos of the Jensen Motors Lotus Europa that raced in the SCCA.

The car was driven by Gary Rodriguez to a second place finish at the Road race of Champions in Atlanta on Nov. 4, 1973.

The car was built by Jensen Motors in Compton Calif. and they printed a manual on how to build a racing Europa.

So far this is all the information I have on the car.

If you have information or photos please contact me....

This is your lucky day. I have the manual and you may have it. I developed a 73 Europa based in part on information in the book. The manual is primative by todays standards. I'll send a pic of my car that was taken in 1982, during the first ever pro-solo. We finised second overall and would have been first but red lighted the last run
