Yes that is correct, the car was delivered in the netherlands and is LHD. I am located in Germany, so this is better for me and i was looking for a original LHD Special.

hi BDA

yes i hope to get for the car near the price i have paid that i lost not to much money. But i also like to get it away in the next weeks because i need the room for the new one. Overall the car is not bad and if someone will build a Europa and him it is not so importent the originality or he likes the US Version he will be happy with this car.

Good luck with your new Europa. I think you will find it easier to sell the car in its entirety in stead of in parts. There isn't that much demand for parts as far as I can see.

I saw what the car was priced at when you bought it in the Netherlands and it was a good price, you'll be able to sell it quite quickly at that price.

Hi Serge,

i bought it not to the Price which was offered, i paid less for it. so there is some space in the Price for me.

Otherwise i think you are right it is easier to sell complete but this car has some good parts that i Need for my new one. So if i found someone for the Chassis and Body this is a better choice for me

Congratulations on the new one. I look forward to pictures of it!
It is a bit sad to see any Europa parted out, especially if it is in half decent condition.

Hi Mark,

i sold the car today complete not in parts. So it will not partet out. It will come back on the street.

Today i signed the contract for my black Europa Special. The Lotus dealer will made some work on it and after my Holiday in 3 weeks i will bring him to my home.

here are two pics from the Dealers Showroom from today.

That's a very nice looking Europa, Mr Jesspo. Congratulations.

Thanks,

yes she looks quite good on the Pictures. The car is an original Special but was delivered in lagoon blue. I think in some years i will repaint she to the correct colour.

The car is restored in the late 90's and only 7500km driven till today. So the only things to do in the Moment are new tires and replacement of all liquieds.

greetings Frank

Looks great!

Another Europa leaving the Netherlands, at this rate there won't be many left!
