the original Lotus Europa was always a bit of an oddball, but so very unique and fascinating. Tiny, light, and quite a sharp handling car as all Lotuses are famous for—-the badge was resurrected in 2006/7 for a lackluster rebodied Lotus Elise they called the Europa—-a shame really, because the original had such immense character.
I will someday own a Europa with the JPS black and gold livery. It’s on my list.
