1969 Lotus Europa Walk Around By The Beach

360 degree walk around video showing overall condition of body modifications, paint, interior, wheels & tires
This Europa was a stalled father-son project that stayed with one family since new. Purchased new in London then brought to Southern California 1971. The car was later taken to Washington where it was dis-assembled and rebuilt from the ground up. Modified with custom bodywork and a removable vinyl targa top. Power is from a FRESH Gordini Hemi 1.6-liter inline-four with Twin Weber carburetors reportedly sourced from a Renault R18 and overhauled over the course of two years by Ray Segale linked with a rebuilt four-speed transaxle. The car is finished in British Racing Green over a recently reupholstered black interior. Equipment includes a front air dam, custom turned aluminum gauge panels & switchgear in a Wood Dash Panel and Lots more. Period Correct Four-lug alloy wheels wear fresh TOYO PROXES R888 R tires, 205/60R13 86V in the rear, 185/6oR13 80V in the front.

Doesn't look like '69 with high wings. Looks like '72.
