Hey fulmine!
:Welcome:
You have a really nice ride there! Anything you want to tell us about it? Mods? How it is to drive a RHD (very tiny) car in Italy?! Plans?
Good luck and glad you joined!
-
The only problem of RHD in Italy is the overtaking in a double way road....
The car was repainted in the original colour in 2008 and it's in original condition. I'd like to preserve the car. I'm searching the original steering wheel and the original jacking/tool kit. The radio is not oem but is from the period of the car.
the only mod are the fully adjustable suspensions....
-
Your car is a beauty! I can well believe passing is a problem! Be careful out there!
I'm not sure there was an OEM radio. The distributor where I got my car installed Becker radios in the cars but I got the impression that the dealers put in whatever radio they wanted.

Nice car! I always have liked the bright original colours that Lotus offered.

Lovely color!!!!

I think in England a Philips radio was an option.

:Welcome: Welcome to the forum fulmine. That is a very lovely Europa you have there.

I found a photo of an old price list (1972) from England and there was philips radio like option....but i don't know nothing about the model

The original radio is a Phillips Spyder Turnolock
Sometimes you can find in ebay

Hi Flavio. Really nice looking car and particularly in that colour. I agree if you can find an original steering wheel it would be a great improvement.
-
Because it has side skirts, I think it is a Twin Cam Special.

:I-agree: but only because of the placard in the picture.( On door armrest) :FUNNY:
Best of Luck with it, I would throw a penny inside to further your luck if I were there.
