What we have here is a 1974 Lotus Europa Twin Cam Special with
44,500 original miles on the odometer. The car is finished in Red
and has a complementary Brown, vinyl and velour interior. This car
has been looked after and has service records showing the work
done. Overall, she is a really nice car and warrants a close look
from anyone who likes these cars.
This 1974 Lotus Europa is powered by a mid-engine 1,558cc Lotus
twin-cam inline-four mated to a five-speed manual transaxle.
Equipment includes 13? alloy wheels, electronic ignition, decklid
vents, chrome trim, power-assisted front disc brakes, twin bucket
seats, power-operated side windows, front and rear trunk
compartments, and a heater. Since 2024, work on the car involved
replacing the front calipers, rotors and pads. Also replaced were
the front wheel bearings as well as the rear axles and bearings.
Finally, new tires and spark plugs along with tuning and repairing
the carburetors.
This Type 74 Lotus is offered with service records, spare parts,
and a clean New York title in the seller's name. The Europa debuted
in 1966 and featured a fiberglass body mounted over a steel
backbone chassis that was developed from the earlier Elan. This
Twin Cam Special example came finished from the factory in Olympic
Blue and was repainted red in the 1990s. The car is equipped with
decklid vents, chrome trim, a side mirror, and front and rear trunk
compartments. Paint cracks, chips, and other blemishes around the
body are shown in the gallery. The 13? alloy wheels are mounted
with new 185/70 Pirelli CN36 tires. The car is equipped with an
independent front and rear suspension, and stopping power is
provided by front disc (that have just had their calipers rotors
and pads replaced), and rear drum brakes. The brake boosters were
removed and the rear drums rebuilt in 2022. Adjustable rear lower
links were installed in 2023. The parking brake requires
adjustment.
The fixed-back bucket seats with integrated headrests are
upholstered in brown leather with velour inserts along with
color-coordinated carpets. Additional appointments include wood
dashboard trim, fore-and-aft seat adjustment, power-operated side
windows, and a heater. Areas of both seat bolsters have been
covered with tape. The aftermarket three-spoke steering wheel
frames Smiths instrumentation including a 140-mph speedometer and
an 8k-rpm tachometer. Readouts for coolant temperature, oil
pressure, amperage, and fuel level are mounted on either side of
the HVAC controls on the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows
44,500k miles, approximately 500 of which were added under current
ownership.
The mid-mounted "Big Valve" 1,558cc Lotus twin-cam inline-four is
equipped with twin Stromberg carburetors and was factory rated at
113 horsepower and 104 lb-ft of torque. The cam cover gasket and
fuel level sending unit were replaced in 2022, and an electric fuel
pump was installed in 2023 along with a replacement thermostat,
heater valve, and breather hose. Lucas electronic ignition, a SPAL
fan, tubular headers, and a replacement rear muffler were also
installed under prior ownership. Work in 2024 consisted of
replacing the carburetor diaphragms, tuning the carburetors,
adjusting the timing, and replacing the spark plugs. Power is
routed to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle.
The driveshaft seals and O-rings were replaced in 2022, and the
clutch and flywheel were replaced some time ago.
