I posted a couple of weeks ago asking opinions on Lotus Europa's. The consensus seemed to be "make sure you drive one first!" Well I did, and I loved it! Agreed, not the most comfortable car to drive, or to get into or out of, but what a blast to drive.
The example I drove was located about an hour from me, and was for sale. Well I couldn't help myself, and now I am the proud owner of a red '74 Lotus Europa.
It has the "big valve" twin cam lotus/ford engine, and is remarkably original, with only 15,000 miles on it. The carpets and vinyl are all original. No rust, and running very strong. It was resprayed about 2 years ago. Not a perfect car, but a great unmolested example.
So I have no plans to sell the TR250, but as a buddy of mine used to say - you're never too old to have a happy childhood.
