    Always wanted one of these but at 6ft 3 inches I'd never fit and as always niggled me. That twin cam engine was so much of an improvement over the previous Renault lump. So frustrating when you want one but its pointless if you can't dive it.

      I suspect weight is more a factor today than height ! I drove one when they were only a few years old, the handling was incredible.

    LOTUS - Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious! Having said that I still fancy a MK 1 Lotus Cortina.

    I test drove a Europa back in 1989, it was a 72, being for sale at a British sports car repair shop in Houston. It had a good engine and tranny, it was quick, like a rat with sneakers! I could envision having to buy brake pads and tires often!

    Always remember the old saying about LOTUS...Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious.
    A friend of mine back in the 70's had one and told me he was so glad he had access to a second car.
    Looks lovely though... someone will buy it.

    I wish you would slow down a little with the camera when showing things like the engine detail etc!.

      Lol, I'm under 6ft but not slim it would be quite funny to watch me try and get in...

    Not a ''Special'', so no.

    Starting the engine without depressing the clutch? ..... that's a no-no. Even in neutral.
