Lotus Europa Bastard from Germany

(1/14) > >>

Hello everybody,
thanks for let me join your Forum. My name is Ralf and I am from Germany (in the south, 20km east of Stutgart).
I bought my Europa 1982 when I was 19 years old.

ralf:
The Europa was in a very bad condition. It take me about one year to make it ready to make some test rides. After this I don't work at the car for many years.
Then I bouht a Spyder chassis with rear susspention, fit a Renault 843 engine modified to Bosch K-Jetronic injection of the old Golf GTI, a aluminium rockcover I made myself and a 395 transmission. 1994 I get a registration for the car.

ralf:
In December 1994 I made an accident. A Renault 19 hit my left front wheel when I slide with cold Yokohama A008 tires into an intersection.
I was lucky that I don't get hurt. If I would slide 1m more into the intersection the R19 would hit my door instead the front susspension.

ralf:
2020 I started to repair my Europa.
