Lotus Europa Community

It's a poor shot, but you can get the idea from this old photo taken during a respray...

That looks like the filter used on the Lotus Esprit (not sure which model/s) as well as the Excel etc.?
There's also a K&N version if that takes the fancy.

Europa engine compartments get warm, very warm.  If you are going to make something up, have it draw in cooler air from near the front of the rear wheel well.

Just to show how completely un-co-ordinated DVLA are, with no internal communication, I received an email from DVLA dated 15th May telling me the registration number, I received the V5 document on Saturday 18th May, and I have just been advised by my MP that they received a letter dated 10th May from the DVLA complaints department saying the letter from Lotus was insufficient and I need to send an HMRC NOVA document, which they returned to me with their letter of 15th May.

I shall now telephone the DVLA complaints department to complain that they do not have a clue what is going on.

Lady who wrote letter to my MP is not in the office until Wednesday. Lady who answered the phone in the complaints department "We can only rely on the information given to us by that department". In other words they do not investigate whether the complaint is valid.

My original fuel tanks leaked water into the tank/tanks through the top of the tank.  Rain comes in through the bonnet screens and lays on top of the tanks where the 1/4" lip doesn't alloy the water to drain.  A rust hole finally appeared.  I lived with it by installing a marine water/fuel separator filter.  The problem was resolved once and for all by installing new aluminum tanks.
I have  not had a problem with  ethanol causing excessive water condensation.

Don't you have 9 cars, or something like that?  Is it just one of the many?

7 Europas. I had water in one other car's petrol tanks, but not as much as this one.

I will keep checking them if they don't start, by draining the tanks. The water is quite visible at the bottom if it is present.
