Greetings from Chicagoland,
My name is Mark and a little over a month ago I purchased 1974 Europa TCS 4246R. The car was recently pulled (literally... locked brakes and all) from long term storage by a fellow local Lotus collector. He got the car to run (and roll LOL), and I took over from there. After several evenings and weekends and a couple packages from RD, we are now running pretty well, stopping (removed leaking Girling servos, replaced rear wheel cylinders, a few brake line mods), and doing laps of my little neighborhood (as long a no backing up is required
I'll start a separate thread on that).
4246R joins my 1961 Seven America as Loti stablemates. That car has SCCA F-Production race history on the East coast and came out of 40+ years storage. The Seven is in a similar "laps around the neighborhood" state.
I hope to get the Europa a bit more roadworthy before the snow flies and then decide what to really do with it.
This is not my first Europa, I had an S2 a looooong time ago...a story for another time.
Looking forward to learning from the forum and helping where I can.
Thanks,
Mark
