New member - Europe S1 fanatical enthusiast
« on: Thursday,December 31, 2020, 02:36:21 AM »
Hello to all the community !
I have been in love with classic Lotus for decades, Elite, Europe, Elan... I have owned a yellow S1 almost untouched except (Weber) carburettor...and once sold, I missed it so I bought another, probably even closer to the original delivery condition. I am mostly fascinated by original condition...

This forum seems to be very active and with very competent and nice people !

 :Welcome: Would love to see photos of your first S1 too if you have any. Most of us on the forum are mega S1 fans even if we drive a different type.

 :Welcome: Ernesto.

  X2 on the pics and S1 fans.

   I’m glad you found your way here. It is a pretty lively site for the amount of members.
Is the new S1 driven much?

 :Welcome:
I am a TCS owner, but I think we all agree the S1 is the best looking Europa, just as the designers intended it. Looking forward to hearing more about your car.

By people's demand, here are more pictures !











...But keep in mind that pictures tend to enhance que visual qualities of cars. For exemple the paintwork was much less beautiful than what it seems, with small bubbles beginning to show on some areas.
