This just popped up on CL: https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/cto/d/el-cajon-1974-lotus-europa-special/7733566526.html for $29,900.
It's the same car we discussed a few weeks ago https://www.lotuseuropa.org/LotusForum/index.php?topic=6390.0
that ended up selling on eBay for, presumably $20,000. https://www.ebay.com/itm/186305659831
Only difference I can see is 11 more miles, five new Minilites, more dirt on the console, and, for some reason looks like more front ride height?

Still has that curious positive battery cable bypass........

I did the same cable relocation with my TCS many years ago but I've forgotten the reason. At the time I was chasing down an intermittent starter issue where the starter solenoid would click without turning the starter motor over. I remember the positive cable being in fairly bad shape with a lot of corrosion on the lug and in the strands. In replacing the cable I decided to run the cable similar to what the red TC owner had done. I don't recall if it was due to just being lazy or to keep the cable away from the header. Anyway, the new cable did not solve the starting issue if I recall correctly. I found a picture showing the battery cable (at the time, black was the only color I could find) after pulling my engine.

I really never paid attention to the differences in the turn signals , and all those legends where my Hi beams and low oil pressure are.
