• Lotus Europa from 1969 with manual 4-speed gearbox
• 1,470 cc engine
• Indicated mileage of 79,178 km
• Older professional restoration

The Lotus Europa is a distinctive British sports car built entirely around low weight, compact dimensions and a direct driving experience. Its extremely low silhouette, mid-engine layout and characteristic design make it one of the most recognisable Lotus models of its era.
This example was first registered on 30 June 1969 and is finished in Yellow. The 1,470 cc engine is paired with a manual 4-speed gearbox. The indicated mileage is 79,178 km. The chassis number is 541045.
The car underwent a professional restoration in the past. The bodywork has been repainted and shows normal signs of use. The underside is original and in good condition and presents in an uncleaned state. The interior is original and shows signs of use.
Mechanically, the engine is in good condition following an older restoration and the car has been well maintained. The clutch and gearbox work well. Further work is required on the brakes, electrical system and front suspension.
Our Oldtimerfarm inspection team has prepared an expert report for this car.
