Title: europa from Tenerife
Post by: pakorrete on Sunday,February 02, 2014, 06:27:17 AM
greetings to all from Tenerife, Spain. recently bought a lotus europa s2 (541375) powered 807-03 (r16ts).
the car is practically dismantled, but the chassis, body and engine are in good condition. I need all the interior, wiring and details such as locks, window seals, and something else. I hope to find here help locating everything I need and fix any problems it finds.
thank you very much

Welcome to Europa ownership. Your Europa looks to be in real good condition for a project car. For parts, your best bet would be Banks Engineering in the UK and for archival technical knowledge, Lotus Europa Central.

I think that you'll be having a lot of fun putting the S2 back together.

Congratulations on your Europa purchase, and welcome to the forum. As you will see there are a couple of other restorations going on at this time among forum members. There is a lot of great info to be gleaned, and for anything else you wish to know, just ask. Cheers.
