Wow:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/166673868826

EDIT:  Well not totally super! I'd have to knock off $100 for the missing wheel center caps :)

Pretty car, and the photos look great, but not well presented as a car for sale. The dark nature of the photos makes the car difficult to assess (more artsy than documentary). No photos of the engine or chassis loaded for me, so unable to see these. I noted that this is a Federal car, but they quote the 126 horsepower spec of the Weberised UK/Euro spec variant. Does that mean this car has the Weber head?
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

Under the "Item description from the seller" there is a string of 97 pictures (or so it says). There are engine pictures there along with a bunch more.

It's also listed on Hemmings (https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/listing/1974-lotus-europa-bridgeport-ct-2779889) and there are even more pictures there. There are some during the restoration.

I can see them on the Hemmings site. That is certainly a Federal Stromberg engine for which they are quoting 126 hp.

Unless there were some upgrades in the motor, that's a bit aggressive.
