Dino bodied Twin Cam

[Dreamer]

Anyone have any info on this 1973 Twin Cam with a Dino GT body? Showed up on the Antique, Vintage, Classic, Rare & Other Vehicles Facebook page. From what I read it is from molds taken off a Dino GT. The fiberglass body was then bonded to the lower portion (pan) of the donor Europa. Someone mentioned reading an article on it some years ago.

The same car (with some history was published in our Gallery (https://www.lotuseuropa.org/LotusForum/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=141).

I guess my search skills need improving. I did use the search function on this site but did not find this article. I also did a web search and found some references but nothing directly from David. Ta ever so much BDA.

I don't think most people on this forum are aware of the Gallery so you're not alone. I PM'ed the guy who posted those pictures but never heard from him.

I also wouldn't feel bad about not finding it using the search function because I don't believe it searches the Gallery.

I seem to recall an article in an issue of Road & Track back in maybe??? 73 or 4 (Yes I am that old) that the Lotus Europa and Dino 246 GT were the 2 best handling street cars that could be bought of the showroom floor. In stock trim of course!
