Hello all,
I'm a long time Lotus enthusiast, retired and living in Tacoma, Wa. I currently own a 1977 Esprit S1, 2005 Elise, 1969 Europa (project), 1971 Elan S4 Coupe (since 1982), and an ERA Cobra 427. I have used this group for research for a number of years. Now I need some help with my beloved Europa project so I decided to join to ask questions and more actively participate.
The Europa is near and dear to me. My first contact with the model was about 52 years ago when my ski school director ripped by me in his Europa on the way to the mountain. Later that year, I had an opportunity to sit in his Europa. I still clearly remember it like it was yesterday. For the last 12 years I have purchased two project Europas in order to make one good one. Since retirement, I have found much more time to work on it and look forward to its completion. At this time I have painted the body, installed a 4age 20v (got it running in chassis), and about ready to drop the body on the frame. The goal is to throw the skis in the passenger seat this winter and drive fast to the same ski area like he did 52 years ago. Look forward to the group's help to make this happen. Picture follows.
Thanks!
Jeff
