Mine is #4397. Close!

Looks decent. Is that an original Europa colour? If so, I’m digging it.

[4129R]

Late car with the engine cover struts and the map pocket.

I have never seen one in that colour before.

The colour is incredibly rare and even more so on a Europa.  It is L29 Mint Green. I tried to find a photo of another one on line and could not.  Even the Lotus Colour Chart link on this forum couldn't find a photo of a Europa in that color so they show an Elan+2 in that colour instead.  This car needs to be restored!

I'm not positive but I think Joji's TC (aka Grumblebums) is the same color. I've been helping him remove the engine and I know the color is original and appears to be a light metallic green. I've never seen one this color either.

If I'm not mistaken, Grumblebum's TCS is L18 Glacier Blue.

Here is an Elan in L29

Never mind the colour - notice the ashtray is missing

I don't think this is original.  The last picture shows the ID plate.
Color Code  L23 is Sepia Brown and there is overspray in the N/P corners and the washer / nut to the right.

When I looked at the ID tag close, the second number looked like a nine to me.  But I spoke to the owner on the phone and he verified that it is L23 Sepia Brown.  I stand corrected.
