Our own rjbaren's '73 TCS up for auction on BaT

[BDA]

rjbaren's TCS is on auction at BaT (https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-lotus-europa-twin-cam-special-11/). I think he's done himself proud with the car. I'm a little disappointed that he only put 1800 miles on her! She really needed to get out more, rjbaren! I expect it will get a good price!

Good luck rjbaren!!

It shows very well, and the engine compartment looks great. As an original paint car, I got a chuckle out of the BaT member who asked about the quality of the paint on a 1 - 10 scale, 10 being a show car. I would suggest that, given the rating scale, no Europa ever left the factory with paint better than a 7.

Good luck with sale, RJ.

Sadly the reserve wasn't met. It was bid to $25,000.    I think it deserved a lot more than that since it was pretty much a brand new restoration (less new paint and dash). On the other hand, rjbaren will still be with us for a while!

This looks like a great car and kudos to RJ for holding true to his expected value. These cars aare worth a lot more but they seem to be on the low end of the scale for some reason. Lets give it a go again and see if it brings in a higher value
