Very original '74 TCS for sale on BaT
« on: Wednesday,April 17, 2024, 05:04:49 PM »
Nice blue 5 speed TCS with what looks like original biscuit interior for sale at BaT (https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1974-lotus-europa-11/). It's very original. The radio, battery cutoff switch, headers, and steering wheel look like about the only non stock items. Of course it has an ashtray!

A lovely Special. If I was in the market, I would be all over this. In fact, aside from colour, it is remarkable similar to my own. It will be interesting to see how well it does.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

This is my EXACT car that I am putting back on the road in May after 44 years in a barn. Wish me luck

With that chassis number, it should have the map pocket between the seats, cloth inserts in the seats, and the engine cover struts.

Those were the last upgrades on TCSs.

I hate the cloth inserts in mine and will get new vinyl this summer to make it look pretty again
