Lotus europa s2 (updated)
« on: Sunday,June 12, 2016, 11:25:01 AM »
Hello

I am putting my dads europa s2 up for sale for him.

http://s1255.photobucket.com/user/martingoesracing/library/

I am currently unsure as to age and i will be getting photos and all the info next week.

It was used for about 10 years as a racer in the 750mc roadsports series. So naturally it has been modified both suspension and engine. (I will get the specs next week.)

The body shell is split into 2 with the rear half of the car fully detachable for ease of maintenance.

There is a huge stockpile of spares and extras included with the sale including front spoilers and the fiberglass mould to make them. There is also two complete sets of wheels many engines and gearboxes. There is enough parts to make a complete new car!!

The car was last run about 10 years ago and started fine. However the car and probably the engine would need a full rebuild to be used.

This would be the perfect car to be restored back to standard or to be used for racing however my dad has hip issues and cant complete the work and i dont have the space having two classic minis already.

As i said pictures and specs will follow shortly i am just seeing if we have any interest.
We will be open to offers but wont be accepting anything too silly.
If you want to know anymore please respond in here or contact me on 07460161666

 :Welcome: Martin! Though I hope you have good luck selling your dad's car and thus your time here would be brief. I'm not interested in the car but I'm sure I'm not the only one who is anxious to see your pictures.

I would love to build the car back together myself i absolutely love the europa and his has been a massive part of my life. However the lack of room is my issue. I will most probably stay around in the forums to see the cars being kept alive!
