SOLD: 72 Europa Body with fender flairs, Chassis & 8"x13" wheels
« on: Sunday,November 06, 2016, 03:22:07 PM »
For sale is the 72 TC body with fender flares, the chassis and the 8x13 inch wheels (only two are good, the other two are in bad condition).  See photos below. Will not ship, must pick up in Princeton NJ.  The "roll hoop" is free to whom ever buys the parts ;-)  Bill of sale only, no title. VIN is 2179R.  $2500 (OBO) for all the above.

I bought this 1972 Lotus Europa for its weber head engine, the 352 transaxle and some of the parts.  I don't need the body, chassis or 8"x13" wheels.  This car was supposed to be a track/autocross car that was a project by the PO and it never got done. Was sitting in a dry barn for the last 10 years.

I don't know if it is a coincidence but the moment I posted my email to David.laruse I started receiving a huge amount of spam. Shame on me for being so foolish.

Be careful!

Sounds bad. It might be a better idea to send a PM first next time.

Media blasted the rear hub part of the wheels, they have this stamped on them:

Ff4 315M SB made in england.

Two of the wheels are in good condition, two are not. They are very light and might be magnesium alloy.

Get them crack tested.  Old Magnesium wheels have been known to fail rather spectacularly.  Amazing to watch but I assume less so to experience.

I'm not going to use them. I never recommend old wheels for track use, only road use. Who ever buys them should have them tested, but I have looked very carefully at the two good ones and they seem fine.
