Title: Europa Register
Post by: lotusfanatic on Wednesday,August 15, 2018, 07:38:36 AM
Hello all!

forgive me if I’m not looking in the right area but is there a register or list of all the known surviving Europas of each model designation? (perhaps including cars which are known to have been scrapped/destroyed)

I’ve found a list elsewhere but it doesn’t seem to have been updated for a few years.

Cheers,

Mark

In case this isn't the registry you're talking about, there is this one: http://lotus-europa.com/registry.html

Dan Morrison has taken over the site. You can reach him via email at danmo at yahoo dot com.

Thanks BDA,

Yes, that’s the one!
I’ll contact Dan and see if it’s likely to be updated.

Cheers

Mark

It appears to not have been updated since April 2015.

As you're in the UK there's always "how many left ?" which gives the DVLA's data, admittedly UK only.

https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/browse/lotus/lotus_europa (https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/browse/lotus/lotus_europa)

I know a lot were exported to Japan, etc, but the numbers look suspiciously low to me. I suppose there's a few more from the pre-SORN era but it's still well below the 60s Elan which was supposedly made in similar numbers.

It isn't really a registry but there used to be a map where owners could post their location and their car. The tiny url doesn't work any more but maybe someone has the actual url.

Thanks, JB!

There are only about 50 people accounted for on that map. It would be fun for more of us to pin their car to the map!

I think we have been here before. The map asks for a password. Anyone know what to use.

Member invjbo started the map and gave "AddMyEuropa" as the password. For some reason I don't need a password. Maybe because I have successfully logged in once? I don't remember. I seem to remember that there was a little bit of a trick to it but I apparently figured it out so I'm sure you'll be able to. Here's the original thead on it in case it helps.
