Very nice car! That looks like the original color of my car. Ignoring the seat cushion, mine never looked nearly that good when it was new!

I like the wheels - but prefer the Brand Lotus wheels. I hope he gets his price but don’t think he will.

I am with you BDA. I can ignore the seat but to get top dollar you need way more photos then they have there.  They also need engine bay and chassis photos in high resolution.  $40K USD seems reasonable for the best Europa Specials but color and rims will lower that value slightly IMHO.

I see nothing wrong with the color, wheels I am mixed about, not sure if I really like them or not.
Also not sure I want him to get that price, I really do not want to be priced/insuranced out of getting to drive mine.
