Reintroduce myself:
Whit 61yrs old, wrenching on Europa for 40 years, I've made most of the possible and impossible mistakes on these cars, Live in Vista, CA with 2 Europa and years of collecting parts.
Gallery: http://www.lotuseuropa.org/gallery/Whit01
Drove a 47 and 46 when 16 years old. Like the 47 look so tried to make my TC look like one. The Twink has been bored, stroked (1760cc) and dry-sumped, flared, lowered and on 7" wide wheels with GT6 front corners. Now I'm going to build the 46 into a 46+1 complete with the naka ducts, 5spd, Blacktop and Spyder frame with rear "A" frames, right hand drive.
Found a lathe anyone out there who could help me figure out what it is?
Have owned:
S1 46/0212
S1 46/0478 in the Garage
S2 54/0934
S2 65/2506R
S2 65/0359R

TC 74/2392R

Good to see you reappear Whit. Did the house rebuild ever get finished?
I met Whit at Joe's original gathering in Long Beach and have had the pleasure of visiting him twice in Vista. Quite a treat to walk from the house to his garage and see a Spyder frame laying in the weeds! I think he has more spare parts for Europa's / Twin-Cams than any supplier.

The house is going through the next addition of 3 bedrooms, then in a few years sell and find 1000 acres not in CA. Joe's original get together was IIRC 12 years ago...
