This 1974 Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special was sold new in Indiana and left unregistered for a 20 year period. The seller acquired the car 10 years ago and has invested over $20k in mechanical servicing since. The 1.6-liter twin-cam four is paired to a 4-speed manual gearbox and was rebuilt by Williams Racing Service in Harvard, Massachusetts. The engine is fitted with a stainless exhaust, improved cooling system, and Petronix ignition. The brake system has been modified, and the rebuilt suspension features AVO shocks and a number of revised components. This Europa is now being offered with records for the last 10 years, a spare 5-speed manual gearbox, and a clean Massachusetts title in the seller’s name.

Finished in Carnival Red originally, the exterior was refinished by a previous owner in a similar shade of red. Some spider cracking is reported to be present along with wear through from polishing. All of the glass and brightwork appear intact, and the seller has installed stainless hinge pins in the doors to replace of the wear-prone originals.

The interior retains its original dash pad, vinyl seats, door panels, and carpet. The veneer on the dash fascia is delaminating, cracking, and some warping is present on the dash pad. A Becker Europa radio has been installed, and the seller has added an auxiliary plug and amplifier under the dash. 22k miles are shown, and documentation reinforcing the accuracy of the mileage is provided with the sale.

The 1.6-liter twin-cam four has been rebuilt by Williams Racing in Harvard, Massachusetts within the past 4k miles. It was rebuilt to stock internal specifications and it retains a pair of Zenith-Stromberg 175 carburetor. The original distributor has been rebuilt, bench calibrated, and fitted with a Pertronix ignition unit. The cooling system features an improved cartridge-style water pump from Dave Bean Engineering, and a TIG-welded aluminum radiator is fitted with a modern thermostatic fan.

Brake hydraulics have been overhauled by the seller, and the vacuum-assisted servos remain installed but are currently bypassed. Stainless lines have been added, and Hawk pads are used up front. Adjustable AVO shocks have been installed at all four corners

During the suspension overhaul, new rear hubs, bearings, and stub axles were sourced from Banks Engineering in the UK and installed by KTR Motorsports. The original Renault-sourced 4-speed manual gearbox remains installed, and the seller is including an adaptable NG3 5-speed manual gearbox from a Renault Fuego Turbo with the sale.

Service records totaling over $20k in parts and mechanical work performed over the past 10 years are included with the sale. The records include the engine build sheet, dyno sheets, and records from modifications performed. A spare UK manufactured Triplex/Pilkington windscreen is also included with the sale.
