Title: 1972 (73?) Twin Cam in NY State - $15k - Facebook
Post by: lithy on Monday,August 14, 2023, 06:21:03 PM

Hi all, sorry to do an introduction here, but didn't really see another spot to do it.  I'm new here hopefully on the road to acquiring a Europa at some point.  Wanted to post up cars I come across so I can learn the pros/cons and pricing of Europas I'm seeing to decide what I need to be looking for.  I believe I'm generally looking for a Twin Cam.

So anyway, this one listed yesterday.  Listing says 1972, description says the tag says 1973.  Nice Lotus colors, lettering condensed on the rear end.  Wheels meant to mimic wobbly webs?  Not a great selection of photos and little other information beyond 'turns over but doesn't start'.  Claimed to be pulled from 20 years of storage, must have been done up pretty and put away for...reasons.

 :Welcome:
If you read as much of the Garage and Members Cars section  as you can you will learn most what to look for. That's what I did before I bought mine.

I'd probably want to see this car as it has no interior or engine bay shots. The US members will no doubt offer an opinion on pricing.

This car could be promising.

Must have been pretty promising to someone, says sold already.
