Title: The best Europa magazine article ever
Post by: jbcollier on Sunday,April 16, 2017, 08:06:21 PM

Yes, they get lots of things wrong — Renault derived suspension, semi-trailing arm rear suspension, etc — but no other article quite captures so well the complete and utter bewilderment that the Europa engenders in the non-afictionado.

When I had my first Europa in the early 70s (an S2) I was surprised at how many people thought a Lotus was just a kit car. I guess if they'd heard of it at all it was about the 7. Now days you say I have a Lotus & they have no idea what it is. I have to explain it's an English made sports car.
