1973 Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special JPS SOLD

Probably one of the best. Total ground up rebuild a few years ago and perfect.
One previous owner. Original sales invoice, tax disc etc.
I bought the Europa, my second, in 2005. Totally stripped and rebuilt over the next few years. All parts were either replaced or refurbished, the list, and invoices are extensive. The specification on the car is exceptional.
During the refurbishment the following was conducted,
Chassis stripped and repainted (no corrosion), engine rebuilt, new internals (including bearings, pistons, head refurbished with new "everything", oil & water pump etc). New Avo fully adjustable suspension, brakes including servo, radiator and fan (alloy rad), every drive bearing and joint.
Cabin has new 'original' seat covers. Instruments have been rebuilt along with all other parts.
Electronic ignition, nearly all the nuts bolts etc are stainless steel, as is the expression tank, (initial replacement alloy one rotted out after a couple of years).
GKN Wolfe Race wheels, with great tyres.
Original mileage 27600 from new, approx 3000 since rebuild.
The body was not repainted during the refurbishment and now shows signs of micro blisters, no star cracks, just the blisters.
Priced to sell, as I need to reduce my toy collection !
