Europa production line - with Barry De Groot
4129R:
Of course the price from Cessna for the part versus from a repop manufacturer is a factor of 100 different.)
And somehow...we just smile knowingly when we discover these cross-polinated bits and bobs, right?

Just like the post 72 Europa rear lights for the UK market also fit the Jaguar E Type XJ12, and I believe the Smiths heater motor is also fitted to an exotic Italian car (Ferrari I believe).
I am sure Chunky paid bargain basement prices !!!
Incidentally I understand the new Emira production line is experiencing parts supply problems. It seem Lotus are still not paying their parts suppliers on time.

And they just announced a big bump in MSRP for future delivery...and delay in the Merc-engined models of the Emira. The lowest spec will come in at a little over 100K in the US.
They have moved upmarket, no?

Who is Derek Sleath, keeps going through my mind , turns out he was put in charge of the P5 project by Chapman back in the day. I found this interesting article about him and Lotus here :

He may have been an artist also, pictured here driving an imp. Don’t know for sure yet if it’s the same Derek , so history buffs, please be kind.
Supply chain and shortages of parts shut down GMs corvette assembly line this month. I guess it’s just part of the beast.
