I love this interview with Mike Kimberly and Chris Dunster, two former Lotus engineers giving insight into the Europa's design.

Yeah, it is a bit hard to concentrate on but if 'madness likes it, it's going to be good so I'll "Press On Regardless!"

Edit: I just finished the article. It was very good. It is amazing how many changes there were between the S2 and the TC that are very difficult to see. A lot of this information, and more, is available in Matthew Vale's book, Lotus Europa: Colin Chapman's mid-engined masterpiece.

It was well worth the time!

The article is from "Classic and Thoroughbred Cars".  Can't recall the exact issue but it was within the last few years.

My version must be in a different format.  There are no boobs and butts when I click.  I feel like I missed the best part :confused:
