Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1971 Lotus Europa Twin Cam, finished in vibrant yellow, has undergone restoration with a refreshed engine and rebuilt gearbox. It boasts a well-preserved interior and a clear MOT until 2027, making it a compelling classic for enthusiasts.
Despite its overall strong presentation, potential buyers should note minor bodywork adjustments needed on the doors and a clutch judder in cold weather.
Condition
7
The car presents well overall with a vibrant yellow paint and tidy interior. However, there are minor imperfections such as inconsistent shut lines on the doors, a dropped driver's door, and sun visors needing refurbishment. The clutch judder in cold weather and non-functioning reverse lights are also noted mechanical/electrical points that require attention.

Description
Few cars capture the essence of lightweight British performance quite like the Lotus Europa Twin Cam.
The car sits on classic Lotus alloy wheels, which suit the Europa’s period character beautifully.
The wheels present well and complement the car’s bright yellow finish perfectly.
The lotus is fitted with Maxxis tyres all round.
They look to be good condition.
Please take time to review the photos and videos for a detailed view of the exterior, wheels, and tyres so you can make your own assessment of their condition.
Tyres are a key safety item, and you should consider replacing any that are cracked, perished, unevenly worn, or over 10 years old.
The fibreglass body presents nicely overall, with clean lines and a strong, purposeful profile.
The shut lines around the doors are not perfect and may benefit from some light adjustment, though it’s worth noting they are consistent on both sides.
Chris told us the driver's door has dropped and needs a good lift close it properly.
