This 1974 Lotus Europa is finished in Olympic Blue and was reportedly driven 22k miles by the original owner in Maine before being sold in 1981. The second owner kept the car until 2008 and 39k miles, and he is said to have rebuilt the engine and replaced the headliner. The selling dealer restores British cars and acquired this example a few months ago from the fourth owner. Described as remaining in nice unrestored condition, the car shows just under 43k miles and is equipped with a 1.6-liter twin-cam four and a 5-speed manual transaxle. This Europa was reportedly dealer-serviced up through 10k miles and is now being offered with the original tool kit, books, jack, and a clean Arkansas title.

According to the seller, the Olympic Blue paint is original and the car shows no evidence of panel repairs or touch-ups. Gold pin stripping is said to have been applied when the car was new, and minor blemishes on the fiberglass are noted.

The beige leather interior is said to show well and remain largely original apart from the shift knob, steering wheel, and radio. All functions reportedly operate as they should, and the car retains its original Triplex glass. The odometer displays 42,884 miles and is said to be accurate by the seller.

The big valve 1.6-liter twin-cam four is mated to a 5-speed manual transaxle and was reportedly rebuilt by the longterm second owner.

Several undercarriage photos can be seen in the gallery showing the drivetrain and suspension.

The chassis plate is pictured above, displaying the engine and transmission numbers. The sale includes the original tool kit, jack, and books, as well as records up through 10k miles. A driving video, and a video of the car idling/revving can be seen below.
