europa from Tenerife
« on: Sunday,February 02, 2014, 06:27:17 AM »
greetings to all from Tenerife, Spain. recently bought a lotus europa s2 (541375) powered 807-03 (r16ts).
the car is practically dismantled, but the chassis, body and engine are in good condition. I need all the interior, wiring and details such as locks, window seals, and something else. I hope to find here help locating everything I need and fix any problems it finds.
thank you very much

Welcome to Europa ownership. Your Europa looks to be in real good condition for a project car. For parts, your best bet would be Banks Engineering in the UK and for archival technical knowledge, Lotus Europa Central.

I think that you'll be having a lot of fun putting the S2 back together.

Congratulations on your Europa purchase, and welcome to the forum. As you will see there are a couple of other restorations going on at this time among forum members. There is a lot of great info to be gleaned, and for anything else you wish to know, just ask. Cheers.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.
