Hello from sydney - grew up loving Europas - stumbled upon one and just started restoration on a bit of a barn find - S2 chassis 7005 1402 00Q . The car was just a runner but had been let go for some years . The car features on page 190 of Marc shagens book " lotus - the historic sports and racing cars of Australia " and came with a CAMS logbook
The renault engine seems good . Fitted with webers which will get checked over .
On sanding , the original colour was yellow with changes to red , green then back to yellow with green central stripes . Not sure about colour yet - looking at the gold leaf team red over white ...
Will be replacing all the rubber bits , renovating the moveable bits and generally getting her back to " new " . Am taking pics so will post those during the build
Have a strong attachment to Lotus with S1 Elise , S1 Exige , 340r , S2 Exige ( cup 240 ) in the garage and having recently sold the NA Evora getting an IPS S later this year as can't do without one - fabulous car !
Look forward to learning heaps about the new project !
