Another S2 adventure, 742R, Carnival red and "Running".
Richard48Y:
My buddy bought 742R, the red car recently listed here from So Cal.
After going through the "Heck" of arranging transport, running the gauntlet of "Brokers" it will be delivered to me next week.
Running car needing a complete service, paint, tires, bumper chroming, and a few small missing parts.
I will rebuild the Dellorto and do the rest of the service items.
I will also do any needed fiberglass repairs before sending it to paint.
So in less than a month I will finally get to drive an S2 Europa, just not mine!
I will post progress here as it occurs.
Richard48Y:
Looking to confirm 1970 or 1971 manufacture?
Tried the knowledge base but it is down.
Another source?
BDA:
From the registry, it looks like '70 (http://lotus-europa.com/regs2.html).
Richard48Y:
Survived the trip to So. Cal. and back.
Still have to get it unloaded from the truck but that is tomorrows task.
Hoping the spare holds air as the RF does not.
Today I will confirm which Dellorto it has and make a list of other obvious needs to shop for.
Do we know a source for an original muffler in the US?
Need not be stainless.

RD has OEM mufflers (I know, because I gave him mine...), but they are NOT cheap. May be better, unless you're stickler for originality, to get a new downpipe and have a muffler shop gin something up. That's what I did....and it worked out ok.
