Definitely a Europa. (I like the Elans better.) There are some fairly devoted Lotus folks on the net. Some of y'all (especially AX-ers) might find this site interesting: Team.Net

This is an original Elite. The Elite preceeded the Elan. It was also a fibreglass bodied car. Very pretty and very hard to manufacture, Lotus replaced it with the Elan.
You can read a brief synopsis here: Wiki Oh, and the car from the OP is a Europa Twin-cam. Attached image(s) |

The original Elite was a pretty rare car and light.....!!!
dad had one new. rolled it on I-70 (I think grandma was in the passenger seat) they popped the fiberglass roof back out and repainted only the top. pretty amazing car and I think around 10-1 power to weight. A giant killer brant |

You might as well. You don't own anything that runs anyway. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/poke.gif) |

This has a different motor than the Lotus Cortinas...they were 1600 cc 8 valve with chain driven cams. The twin cam Europa used the 2L 16 valve version (different block)...belt driven cams....same motor as the Jensen Healey and early Lotus Esprit. It's a great motor but takes about 8 hours to adjust the valves. |

I thought the older ones used the 1600cc engine, and it's only the new ones that use the 2L... |
