1976 Lotus Europa - $4,000 (Corona)


This car was involved in a minor engine fire in about 1979. It was being driven by my ex-bosses ex-wife and had been running fine. My ex boss took it home and removed the engine and transmission (Please don't ask me why, he just did stuff like that) then he never worked on it again. The car has been garaged ever since. Now he can't remember where the car came from and his ex-wife says she doesn't want it. The second wife wants it gone down the road and has asked me to sell it for her. The parts are all there. The car body needs a hood, some fiberglass work and paint. Title is guaranteed. Anyone want a rare, really expensive toy? I am open to reasonable offers. (951)277-3583

It looks like a great deal! It's got an ashtray!

Brave man, congrats and keep us updated on progress.

For the price. It's can't go wrong worse case I use parts to keep all my Europa on the road.

Hi Joji,
Yes..I do need a rear lid.

I am totally envious - I wish you could pick up the same here for that price in the UK.!!

Looking at that hole in the right rear quarter, appears that you need more than the rear deck lid. Just be aware that my deck lid also needs repair. The car was hit in the right rear corner and the lid took some of the brunt of the hit. It looks to be easily repairable however. I'll post a picture when there is more light.
