A few of these should be easy to find:
I believe the interior dome light is available. Try Dave Bean or r.d. enterprises.
Aluminum radiators should be available on eBay.
Aluminum reproductions of the gas tanks should be available. Try Dave Bean, r.d., or Banks.
It's highly unlikely you'll find an ashtray. Consider putting something else there.
Good luck!

Europa's used three different door designs: S1 (simple door window), early S2 (electric door window, button latch) and S2, TC & TCS (electric door window, handle latch, most common).
Interior light same as MGB and available cheap new.
Ash tray can be hard to find and expensive when you do.
Ebay has inexpensive alloy rads. See this thread: http://www.lotuseuropa.org/LotusForum/index.php?topic=1451.0
Tanks available from Steve on the yahoo list and from Lotus suppliers such as Dave Bean, RD Enterprises and Banks Engineering.
Windshield is available from Pilkington Classic USA.
Window seals and felts are available from Lotus suppliers such as Dave Bean, RD Enterprises and Banks Engineering. They fit and are not expensive.
807 engine help available on this forum and at the europa yahoo list. Parts are available, perhaps not readily, but they can be found. Just let us know what parts you are after and we can point you in the right direction.

Tail light lenses are available from SJSportscars in the UK.

I may have an ashtray in fair to poor condition, if you're interested, send me a PM for pictures. Like everyone has said, they are not cheap.

The dome light is available at r.d. enterprises (www.rdent.com)
As Joji said, SJSportscars lists the tail light lens (http://www.sjsportscars.co.uk/index.php?mod=10) but it is a red/yellow/white lens. The US Europas had red/white lenses. You might have to buy new lamps and make a small wiring change to separate the brake light and turn signal. I did find an old special for lenses at Dave Bean (www.davebean.com) so you might give them a call. r.d. enterprises listed the red/yellow/white lamps.
r.d. also has the window felt.
Steve Veris has been known to make gas tanks (steve.veris@sbcglobal.net)
If Joji didn't have an ash try you liked, you're on your own for that.

Hi Kerry,
The hub caps come up quite regularly on Ebay UK, in fact so often it makes me think someone's making them in a shed somewhere ! I did a quick check before posting and there's none for sale at the moment but it would be worth putting a search into your ebay account which takes in the UK sector and you should get an email when some come up.
The ashtray is very hard to get as has already been noted. I think it was fitted to the rear seat of several Fords of the late 50's, early 60's which is probably why it's rare. I've got Ford Consul, Zephyr & Zodiac in my notes if that helps with an Ebay search.

Actually SJ Sportscars do have the all red and clear rear tail lights for the Federal Europa/Elan. In the Search box, select "Europa" for the Model, then "Electrical systems" for Section, then "Lamps" for Component. The Federal lamps are all the way at the bottom. I ordered a pair a couple of years ago.

tail lights are the two bottom items.

Glad you caught that, Joji!

Rear taillights/lenses also available from classic jaguar part shops. As the E type used the same lights, but without reversing light.
Also available is the all red US spec lens. I have seen them cheaper than this ones, just surf around and you shall find😃 http://www.jagshop.co.uk/products/jaglamps/C33952X1C33951X1/jaguar-e-type-series-2--series-3-rear-lamps-new-european-spec-c33952--c33951/?bid=

Yep. I was thinking it might be easier to get a Jag taillight lens till I saw they had a separate reverse light.
I converted from red/white lamps to red/white/yellow. It was very simple but it does require new lamps, obviously.

I was going to offer you luck, but you won't need it. Richard is a GREAT guy to deal with!
-
Bummer! Can you break it up into smaller orders? I wonder what the deal is. Did he get burned?
-
Hmmmmm....... I can only hope it's a wanted and positive change.
-
How much were the Kirkey seats?
-
Does that seat supplier only make the narrow early seats, or does he make the wider late seats as well? I am in need of 1 pair, preferably ally, to replace one pair that were rusted beyond resurrection in 3755R.
I don't think 3755R was a barn find, more like a pond find !
