Lotus Europa: S1, S2, Twin-cam & Special 1966 to 1975 (Essential Buyer's Guide)

Matthew Vale 2018 ISBN-10: 178711287X
ISBN-13: 978-1787112872
The Essential Guide to buying the Lotus Europa will guide you through all you need to know. Initially produced for export to Europe in late 1966, the Renault-powered car evolved into the Series 2 in 1968 when it was released to the UK and US markets, and, in its final iteration, gained the Lotus' own Twin Cam engine in 1971. Production ended in 1975 with around 9200 cars completed. This book has been written to provide the prospective owner with all the information they need to establish if the car is for them, and what to look for when viewing an example. All aspects of the cars are examined, including paperwork, mechanical issues, bodywork and interior with many photos of example cars to assist in the assessment of an individual car, and understand the implications of many of the common problems that a car can exhibit.

Rob Siegel 2020 ISBN-10: 0998950734
ISBN-13: 9780998950730
One man’s sordid tale of passion and madness while resurrecting a 40-year-dead Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special

In 2013, Rob Siegel obtained a 1974 Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special. It was six years before the car was running, during which Rob lost his job and changed careers, necessitating that if work on the Lotus proceeded at all, costs needed to be relentlessly contained. All of this was chronicled on Facebook in a series of posts titled “The Lotus Chronicles. The Lotus Chronicles is a collection of those posts.
