1970 lotus europa S2 project: you are looking at a complete 1970 europa with a very large supply of 1969 europa parts. i purchased the car on 5/28/2013 from a man in southern california. apparently he had a 1969 lotus europa that he wrecked and then he purchased this car in 1982 and installed the engine from the '69 europa. he told me that the engine (renault R-16) was rebuilt and has 9000 miles on it. the amazing part is that he owned the car for over 30 years and from what he told me and what his neighbor confirmed, the car sat in his garage for the entire time !!! he purchased the car, changed the engine and started restoring the body for paint and then it just sat in his garage...... i intended on restoring the car for historic racing but i have become involved in a large project that requires all of my resources and garage space so it must go. the car needs a restoration, but it is complete and comes with all the parts he took off the wrecked '69. this car does not have any rust that i could find. body is in good shape (the guy filled the bumper holes and the door handles) i have the original all the glass is good great seats the master cylinder is missing, but other than that everything looks complete. the extra parts list is extensive: 2 complete engines 2 complete transmissions extra electronics, gauges, lights complete front and rear suspension front and rear brakes cooling system some interior pieces from the '69 trunk box complete passenger side door front air dam bumpers gas tank and sending unit, starter, alternators, distributors, carburetor, heater unit, hub caps misc nuts and bolts On Dec-02-13 at 21:49:42 PST, seller added the following information:shipping the car: the car rolls easily and i am willing to box up the parts fof shipping rust: this car looks to be rust free. i say this because i can not find any rust on the frame or any other parts other than slight surface rust. On Dec-03-13 at 21:22:04 PST, seller added the following information:I WAS ASKED ABOUT THE OWNERSHIP HISTORY: i believe i know all of the ownership history with the exception of the name of the original owner. anyway, here is what i know. owner one lived in illinois, purchased the car in late 1971 owned the car until 1978 when he sold it to a man also in illinios who owned the car until 1981, he apparently painted the car silver with a blue stripe and ultimately sold it to a guy who lived in tustin california, i spoke to him and he says he owned the car for about a year and then he sold it to the guy from orange california in 1982. i bought it from the 4th owner, that makes me the fifth owner. |

Lotus settles with ex-CEO Dany Bahar, avoids London High Court
Sun, 25 May 2014Five years after it began, it appears the Dany Bahar tenure at Lotus is finally over. After former Lotus owner Proton brought in the ex-Ferrari and Red Bull marketing savant to run the company in 2009, everything had gone pear-shaped by 2012: Proton had been sold to Malaysian auto supplier DRB-Hicom, who suspended Bahar and then fired him for what it said were expense-account transgressions (although Bob Lutz reportedly said something different).
The separation led to the expected suit and countersuit, Lotus going after Bahar to get its money back, Bahar filing a $10.6-million suit againt Lotus for wrongful termination and potential bonus money. The case was set to go to trial next month but both parties have settled, the terms undisclosed, a DRB-Hicom statement saying only that "the parties involved in the legal suit have signed a Settlement Agreement and Release... and have agreed to withdraw their claims against each other."
Now that that bit of housecleaning is all cleared up, can new CEO Jean-Marc Gales please get our Esprit?
Race Recap: 2013 Japanese Grand Prix flips several scripts [spoilers]
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Japan's Suzuka circuit is a great track that all the drivers love, but it doesn't usually provide the most thrilling, head-to-head racing. Where it does excel, however, is with surprises and "What just happened there?!" moments, and this year it was no different.
It started with Mark Webber in his Infiniti Red Bull Racing out-qualifying his teammate Sebastian Vettel for the first time this year. They were followed closely by Lewis Hamilton in the first Mercedes-AMG Petronas, the still-solid Romain Grosjean again outdoing teammate Kimi Räikkönen, Felipe Massa racing for another seat in Formula One and putting his Ferrari in fifth, then Nico Rosberg in the second Mercedes, Nico Hülkenberg in the first Sauber, Fernando Alonso in the second Ferrari, and Räikkönen continuing to do himself no favors by qualifying tenth.
For the second year in a row, the lights going out was the cue to start the first corner action...
Lotus won't rule out SUV, but first we'll get a new Elise
Fri, Aug 5 2016Not even Lotus can ignore the sales potential of SUVs. Speaking to media yesterday, Lotus CEO Jean-Marc Gales said "The SUV is an interesting market. We're working on a concept but haven't made a decision yet." Lotus has reorganized lately, and is cash flow neutral on a path to future profitability. Put away your pitchforks. Yes, Lotus is the last automaker we'd expect to make an SUV, but nearly every other carmaker has already given up resistance. And we surmise that even a Lotus SUV would follow the Lotus founder Colin Chapman's famous ethos of "Simplify, and add lightness." At least relatively. Or, as Gales put it, "We stick to our roots, because they are enviable roots." That means the new Elise, coming in 2020 and destined for America, will be a lot like the current model sold in other markets. As we reported last week, Gales confirmed that the next Elise will be slightly wider to accommodate side airbags, but otherwise will have similar dimensions and power-to-weight ratio. The Evora 400 Roadster is also still planned, but won't come stateside for at least two years. "Lotus will not fit electrical steering [systems]. They take away the steering feel." And while the SUV ship may sail, there are still a few heretical ideas left in Hethel. In confirming that the Elise will add assisted steering in the next generation, Gales assured us it would be hydraulic. "Lotus will not fit electrical steering [systems]. They take away the steering feel." Also off the table for Lotus is any kind of hybrid. Speaking to Autoblog, Gales explained that hybrid systems adds weight, complexity, and take up space. The first two items go against the core values at Lotus, and the third creates packaging issues. "Besides, when you have low mass it's easy to be efficient," the CEO said. He added that a pure EV might be something Lotus would consider, but not anytime in the near future. Lotus returns to the US this year with the Evora 400. Stay tuned for our first drive review in a couple of days (spoiler alert: the car is awesome). And beyond the Evora convertible and next Elise, Gales says "You will enjoy many more cars from our company." We can't wait.Related Video: Lotus Convertible Coupe SUV Performance lotus evora 400 jean-marc gales lotus evora 400 roadster
