Seller's Description
1973 LOTUS EUROPA TWIN CAM SPECIAL SN:3445 VIN N0:2976R ENG NO:S28552 $38,500 (To be sold UN-Registered & with Vic RWC) MID-ENGINED SPORTS COUPE, MINUS WEIGHT Weighing just 740kg new, the Lotus Twin Cam Special, was just that, special. With an attractive, light weight fibreglass body draped over the boxed-steel backbone chassis, the Big Valve, Twin Cam Lotus/Ford 1.6L 4 cylinder was able to propel the low slung sports coupe to 100kmph in less than 6 seconds, a feat still impressive 40 years on! Imported into Australia in July of 2006, this Europa was quickly, and thoroughly subjected to a body off restoration, accumulating a huge receipt file before it first graced the road in late 2012. Painted Colorado Orange, a Lotus period colour, and converted to Right Hand Drive, this Lotus is a true driver's heart-throb! Sitting just inches off the ground you at once feel the analogue machine become an extension of yourself, willing you to squeeze the throttle, and rewarding you with great stability every time you do. Developed by one of the motoring industries most pivotal innovators, you'll find yourself asking why they only made 3383 of these true motoring masterpieces. Rarely seen in this condition, let alone specification, this Twin Cam Special deserves a new home, with an owner who will love, but most importantly drive the car.
