Thanks for the welcome and suggestions guys. I can say that the only thing the seller didn't go through is the shift linkage. Missing the reverse/5th detent ball, bushings in shift lever shot. Have the parts ordered and will get that straight over the weekend, before going to DMV next week to get tags.

I've sent an inquiry to the source for the luggage tub. The ad doesn't specifically say it will fit the TC. Given the various changes to the bodies through the various series, is the tub fitment actually a one size fits all?

Home safe and sound. Have been Lotus-less for the last 2 and a half years. All is right with the world now. :beerchug:

Hi Todd,
Very nice Europa!
Like you, I'm on the retirement short road, but have my Europa advertised for sale - so far no takers.
Mine is 4397R, so not so far from yours.
If you have not got a tub yet, I've got one that needs some fiberglass work. you can have for shipping.
I'm located in NC.

Hi Andy, Thanks for the offer for the luggage tub, but I ordered a 'new' one from a vendor on the left coast. It should ship this week.

Welcome Todd:

Now, forgive me if I've gotten the wrong impression, but... A luggage tub?  Why on earth would anyone want to hide that Beeeeuutiful engine compartment?  If it were me, I'd add a window to the rear deck so everyone I pass could marvel at it.  Awesome car Todd, and for the record... I think I hate you:)  (just kidding, but I sure am jealous).
Yes, it's work...   No, I don't mind it.

Point taken, but...I DO need a place to carry tools, right?  :confused:
