1972 Lotus Europa S3 Twin Cam

1972 Lotus Europa S3 TWIN CAM for sale with 59,013 original miles, build in July ’72 just a few serial numbers before the Lotus switched to the Special model. As such it already includes the stronger Special 365 4sp with rear shifter, Big Valve engine with Sprint cams, brake boosters and many other upgrades that Special is known for. This car is from Texas and it’s very clean and straight. No accidents and no rust on the chassis. The suspension is clean with bolts still showing factory plating. The car is NOT restored and is 100% original. The car was fitted from factory with KONI Shocks. The rears were replaced with new factory set (trying to rise the rear but it’s the same height as before) the original KONIs assemblies are included in the sale. The rear bearings were redone including new u-joints.
The interior is nice – dash is good but the clear coat has cracks. The dash ABS cap needs to be replaced. Rear suspension has adjustable lower links. The car has a sunroof installed which can be completely removed – making the interior open and letting the air in and out better. Yes not original but actually very functional and a pleasure to have. A complete replacement roof cap is included in the sale if the new owner wants to remove the sunroof. The car has new 15×7 period correct looking wheels and new Dunlop tires with “0” miles. Never driven. Hubs were upgraded with larger studs and lug nuts. If the original Spider wheels are preferred I can exchange them but the car is being sold with one set of wheels.
Please look at the pictures. The car is not like most of Europas offered for sale. This is clean and well preserved car. The door hardware that on other cars is always rusted solid is still factory new looking.
The engine is perfect and run beautifully.
