1974 Twin Cam Barn Find 73084001R (SOLD)
« on: Tuesday,October 23, 2018, 10:13:36 AM »
Unfortunately BAT did not accept the Europa for auction... So it will now be up for Sale here.  I hope everyone will provide feedback and help me find a new owner for a nice car.  5k

The car has sat in a barn for 30 years.  It indicates 44k miles.  It is a 5speed manual with Red paint and gold pin stripe.   It appears to be 100% complete including the trunk box, and the tool kit.  I have 5 lotus wheels, and 4 non original replacement wheels.  I have not attempted to start or turn the car over.  I have not found any rust of issue yet, but have not crawled under the car fully.  The stereo was stolen in 1980 and some damage to the wood dash remains. 

Anyone interested is free to call to check it out.  I am more than happy to show the car to interested parties.  Car is located in Norther VA

Too bad BAT didn't accept your auction. You should also sell it on ebay.

Yea I was a little surprised actually.. I will prob sell it on eBay if no one on here decides to take her... I think its only fair to offer it up to the enthusiasts first!  Im a big car guy and find/fix/sell/keep a lot of cars but Lotus is just out of my knowledge base.

Well... In crazy news.  I put the car on CL for 7k and a guy from cali has committed to buy it and ship it west.  Literally less than an hour.  Thanks for all the help everyone!

Thanks, actually let it go for 6k so he had room on his shipping costs to the wc.  He has another Europa with a modern 4cyl turbo, and wants to restore this one to stock form.
