Great shot, going on the registration (H reg, that's 69-70)  I suppose that's one of the TC prototypes going through initial testing ?

I wonder what the difference, if any, the removal of the rear wings made to the airflow ?  It looks smooth enough down the sides.

If you go to the website superimposed on the picture (Lotus-Europa.co.uk) there is a description of the car, a cut down S2 used as the TC prototype.
