47 clown more like it.

Seller claims it is a GKN47D clone. It seems a rather loose interpretation of the term 'clone'.

I am always cautious (suspicious?) when a highly modified, classic sports car is offered for sale with almost no written description.

[RoddyMac]

It's either the sister car or an evolution of this car:  https://www.zero260.com/posts/ford-cosworth-powered-track-star-1969-lotus-europa-series-2-race-car

The license plate is different, but a few of the photos are the same.

It's one thing to massively modify a car to one's taste but it's another to call it a clone of another car when clearly it have very few similarities to the original. It would have been much better if they had just called it, for example, a "V8 Europa." That is about the only similarity to the GKN Europa.

[Clifton]

Pretty nice. I think this is the same car that has or had a 4cyl turbo motor with a Cosworth valve cover. Both have top mounted wipers, same wheels tires and flares. 

The GKN might be more famous but looking at the rear suspension, rear sway bar and the $400+ each per track  tire, this car was built to go at the limit and would probably embarrass the famed GKN.

I too wish there was more details.

Well darn! I could have saved myself a lot of time and effort on my V-8 monster had this been for sale a few years ago! LOL.

[Vegantune]

Admit it does look like an impressive seriously modified car alright. Nothing against that I see. But comparison to GKN? That's more than a stretch. I'd rather they'd just sell this one on its own merits, and skip the quasi-heritage claims. Is it worth this price? Guess we will see.

[TurboFource]

Clifton,
Like you, I thinks it's the same car! I certainly would not be embarrassed to own it

Back on eBay asking $52K.
