1973 Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
I am selling this car because my company is relocating and I have had a blast with this car. I don't want to have the car back East.
It has been a CA car garaged since I bought it 10 years ago. I really would like to see it go to a person who intends to use the car. I am in no hurry to sell. Outside: The paint is in awesome shape. No spider cracks. It does have some nicks in the back and front. They are in the photos. The front and rear bumpers are not on the car. I have the rear bumper but it needs a new front bumper. The windshield needs to be reset. Interior: The headliner is not installed the way it should be. The front drivers seat has a tear on the passenger side of the seat. I have a replacement seat in the box to replace it. The radio is not stock. It is a radio with CD/ DVD playing capabilities. The door panels replace or reline the originals. All the gauges are Smith with the exception of the Amp meter. The electric windows work slow. The cowling in between the seats needs some work. The speedometer cable has been out since I bought it. I have the replacement it just needs to be installed. Engine & Transmission: Very strong engine! The 5 speed transmission works fine. The car RPM drops low some times. The ignition light comes on if you do not rev the engine. Frame: No RUST The car is set up to rally race it has adjustable shocks, PanSprot rims, and a rare Spider Frame. I have used the car as a 3 day driver each week for over a year now. . "This Lotus Is Reliable" The car is in very good condition. I have had it registered since I bought it. Car has new electronic ignition. Installed one year ago . It handles even better then a stock lotus. Possible trade for cash and 750-1000cc motorcycle in good condition. |

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
Lotus Evora S IPS automatic transmission option arrives in October [w/video]
Sat, 28 Jul 2012The Lotus Evora S IPS that the company showed drifting all around its test track earlier this year will be available in October, says Car and Driver. The kinder, gentler Lotus is fitted with the six-speed Intelligent Precision Shift transmission, an Aisin unit swiped from the Toyota Camry and retuned with Lotus electronics and actuators.
There are two 'regular' modes and two 'sport' modes on the IPS gearbox. The former include a traditional hands-off automatic and an auto mode with shifts handled by wheel-mounted paddles. The latter are a sport automatic setting that sharpens the car's responses and a manual sport mode for total driver control. The Evora S IPS hits showrooms in October. For now, you can take a look at Lotus' test driver giving it the beans in the video below.
Lotus bankruptcy case dismissed in UK
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Times have not been easy for Lotus lately, so when its name came up on a list of companies scheduled for a liquidation court, it seemed like the end could be near for the fabled British builder of lightweight sports cars. As it turns out, Lotus was on the Companies Court Winding Up list in the UK due to a contractual dispute with a supplier, and the High Court has since dismissed the case.
According to Autocar, Lotus and the supplier actually resolved their issue earlier in the year, but the process couldn't be stopped until seen by a judge. The report says that the case was initiated when Group Lotus failed to pay some of its debts, which is probably a fair indication that Lotus is far from out of the weeds in regards to its financial difficulties.
