This 1969 Lotus Europa S2 was reportedly imported to the US from
Canada around 1999 and was acquired by the last owner as a project
in 2010. A restoration completed in 2014 involved removing the body
from the chassis, repainting the exterior, replacing the interior
trim, and overhauling the engine. The car is finished in yellow
over black vinyl and is powered by a 1,565cc Renault inline-four
mated to a four-speed manual transaxle. Additional equipment
includes 15? Rota eight-spoke wheels, front disc brakes, a
non-Federalized front nose, DynaMat sound deadening, a Bubinga
Kewazinga wood dashboard, and a Pioneer Bluetooth CD stereo. This
Europa S2 is now offered with service records, a workshop manual,
spare parts.,
The body was removed from the chassis and sent to a
fiberglass-specialist shop where it was prepped and repainted in
yellow. The car retains its non-Federalized bodywork, featuring a
lower nose without the raised headlight pods and side markers seen
on later US-market models. Exterior features include a single
windshield wiper, chrome bumpers, and dual side mirrors.
Gunmetal 15? Rota eight-spoke wheels feature polished lips and
Lotus-crest faux knock-off spinners. They are mounted with 195/50
Yokohama S.drive tires. The car has four-wheel independent
suspension and front disc brakes with yellow calipers.
The cabin was stripped and fitted with DynaMat sound insulation,
carpet backing felt, and replacement carpets. The fixed-back bucket
seats are trimmed in black vinyl with textured inserts. Custom
Bubinga Kewazinga wood trim accents the dashboard, door panels, and
firewall. Appointments include power windows, a heater, a wooden
shift knob, Coco mats, and a Pioneer WMA/MP3 CD stereo with
Bluetooth connectivity.
The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a Smiths 130-mph
speedometer, a matching tachometer, and supplementary Smiths and
Lucas gauges monitoring amperage, oil pressure, coolant
temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 8k
miles. Total mileage is unknown
The 1,565cc Renault inline-four was installed by the seller and
overhauled during the refurbishment. Internal components include
Sealed Power Kromex piston rings and NTN bearings.
An owner's manual, a Dave Bean Engineering catalog, a workshop
manual, Lotus literature, a factory spare wheel and jack, touch-up
paint, and a digital jump drive containing records will accompany
the car. Included spare parts are pictured in the gallery.
