For Sale: 1972 Lotus Europa in Concord, North Carolina

If being different and noticed is something you strive for, then you've landed upon a vehicle that will easily help you accomplish your goal. You will not blend into the background while driving this yellow 1972 Lotus Europa S2. The owner of this vehicle has had this Lotus since it was brand new and has plenty of maintenance records and receipts to prove it was always in good hands. All of the mechanical and maintenance work has been done by the owner. The plugs, timing, and carburetor have all been tuned within the last few months.

For a vehicle from 1972 with no notable restorations, the black interior has held its own. Like most sports cars, it is small on the inside-though this one might be a little smaller than usual. But that compactness adds an element of fun to the driving experience. The handling almost feels like you're driving a go-kart or an Indy car. All the gauges, radio, knobs, and heat controls are in the right places. The shifter, seats, and door panels have held up well. Overall, this is a well-preserved, non-restored interior.

The engine bay appears to be in decent shape, and according to the owner, the Renault R16 1.6-liter inline-4 motor has 73,824 actual miles on it. The 4-speed transmission is believed to be original with the same mileage. The suspension setup is fairly simple: the front uses an independent setup with coil springs, while the rear features an independent wishbone suspension, with fixed-length driveshafts, and trailing radius arms. For stopping power, the Lotus uses front disc brakes and rear drums, while traction comes from front and rear 155R13-sized tires. The wheels are 13 inches with an eye-catching black and yellow color combination that complements the uniqueness of the car.
