1974 LOTUS EUROPA "FULL, NUT AND BOLT RESTORATION, THE FINEST ON THE MARKET."

The car on offer here is a 1974 Lotus Europa. The car was the recipient of a nut-and-bolt restoration, and is probably the finest Europa on the market today. No expense was spared. Restoration specialist Altezza Restoration from Bridgeport, CT did the comprehensive restoration; an open checkbook was employed. The original Lotus frame was separated from the body, stripped and repainted. The Body was sanded down to the bare fiberglass and given one of the finest paint jobs we have seen. The white paint is stunning, and the painted red stripe has been clear coated; the paint work is amazing. All mechanicals were restored or renewed as well. New brakes, new suspension, including all bushings and shocks, all new brakes including pads, lines, rotors and master cylinder. Additionally the car received all new fuel lines; the suspension arms were all striped and repainted. The entire drivetrain was restored; the engine was rebuilt, as was the 5 speed manual transmission, Carburettors (New) and all electrics, including the wiring harness. The interior was restored as well, and the black seats were correctly upholstered; all gauges were restored as well. All chrome trim is new as is all rubber seals; the windshield is new. All systems work as designed. New wheels and tires complete the package. The quality of this restoration cannot be overstated. This must be the finest Lotus Europa on the market today. The car runs and handles like a Go-Kart. The engine has good power and torque and the transmission shifts as it should; the car is a joy to drive.
