New photos of my 1970 S2
« on: Sunday,April 07, 2019, 08:11:43 AM »
I'm always reading comments where people are referring to a Lotus Europa as an ugly car. I expect most of them have never seen an Europa in person. I especially like the view looking down, so purposeful and aerodynamic. Here's to our beautiful cars! :beerchug:

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder...
The Europa looks great, and the backdrop of the wall mural really sets off the yellow paint. Keep posting some detailed pics when you can...Best regards, ld

I never thought they were ugly. Yours certainly isn't. Yes, here's to our beautiful cars!  :beerchug:

I just need to lower the front a couple inches. The federal version doesn't look quite right.

More images coming. Here's my new nose badge. Unfortunately the modern badges aren't the same font as the originals but these enamel ones are nicely done. Still looks good however.

 Beautiful 70 S2 you got there. With only roughly 2506 federals built , I would say it’s rare to have one that is as beautiful as yours. Two thumbs up.

I feel very fortunate. Got a very good deal on a very clean original car. I had been looking for a few years and jumped when the right car came available.
