'74 Red TCS w/26K Mile Nice Original Cond. on eBay $28.5K

Says all original and looks it, including red paint that looks good. Boosters bypassed but included, Stromberg crossover pipes still installed, dash has usual cracks, but otherwise unmolested, not rusty, nice original spider wheels, very complete. Gives VIN as 38985?? I believe this is 4sp. 3895R invoiced 8/73, sold in CA 8/74, went later sold to Bob West in Ohio on 4/78. Just looking, seems very fairly priced. Surprised they didn't try for an auction. Potentially could have gone higher.

Very nice very original car! MAK, have you seen this one?

For some reason your link didn't work, Vegantune. This one worked for me: https://www.ebay.com/itm/394447583040 (which looks exactly like yours!)  :confused:

For some reason "www.lotuseuropa.org" was prepended to your link!

Just the way I like them; unrestored and unmolested. Overall seems in pretty decent condition. Nice Europa.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

thanks, came across it this am. surely a contender, I am about 3 weeks away from being able to pull the trigger. I doubt this will be there when I'm ready.  I thought I was ready but life, again, get in the way.  Car looks good, it's in the state of Washington, which is VERY inconvenient, to go see. Kind of wanted a 5 speed, I thought all 74's came with a 5 speed?

I've been in touch with 2 forum members that are selling - would rather support them 1st.

I hear you.

The JPSs all had 5-speeds and after that, they were an option as you know by now. If you drive mostly in town, a 4-speed is not a disadvantage. It's on the highway that a 5-speed is a big improvement.
