TC for sale (no affiliation)

The write up is a generalization.......... it appears he likes trophies. 
If someone was looking for a TC this "appears" to be a gem.

The car was restored by Randall Fehr in Seattle. It was just sold recently by the owner, obviously to someone in the Chicago area. The trophies were won by the previous owner at events in the NW.

Thanks for the heads up on the history.  It would appear that Mr. Fehr does dandy work.

Very nice! That "1972 Lotus Other" looks a lot like a 1972 Lotus Europa! Who knew?

For those watching but missed the ending, car did not meet reserve. The final bid was $28,900. This bodes well for those with clean stock Europas.

Wow, that's a huge number.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

Europas seem to have finally started fetching decent prices. I was beginning to think they were always going to go for less than $15K!

SO MANY are modified (some extremely) - I wonder how their prices will fare...

I have been watching the price/sell curve for some time.  All Europas are creeping up.
Although I don't own a high side Europa I am excited that they are starting to getting there due.  Oh' trust me, I would own a breadvan but I have to many projects....oh' I mean cars now and no more room.
