1972 LOTUS EUROPA TWIN-CAM | MATHEWSONS CLASSIC CARS |20th & 21st MAY 2022

Thts a stunning car.

[@johnnyboy1586]

One of the best handling cars ever made

[@barryrudge1576]

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.

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!

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

[@mreuropa88]

Yawn

[@grimson]

Extremely simple cars. If you don't know how to adjust carburetors then don't drive one.

[@geraldswain3259]

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

[@davidhoneyman8996]

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.

Lots Of Trouble Until Sorted

[@wolfgang9570]

Lot's of tickets......usually speeding! Great cars!

[@russcooke5671]

About 25 to 30 grand. Loverly colour.

[@michaelrubidoux9216]

Close, sold for £20,750 ($24,205 USD) which is fair

[@fbxl51]

How much?

[@keithashley6298]

Very nice, sounds good too.

[@kevinharker1840]

[@davidlawrencebanks4610]

Nice car!

[@brucelamberton8819]

Lovely!

[@jjefferyworboys8138]

Under 6ft and slim people only !

[@Mainsail333]

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

[@SKYSAW59]

Not a ''Special'', so no.

[@thecarman3693]

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