Equipment
RHD. Lotus Ford 1594cc engine, Hewland FT200 transaxle, centerlock alloy wheels, Avon racing tires, slide throttle fuel injection. Originally owned by Clive Vandervell (of the bearing family.) Restored in the early 90s and unused since. The lack of halfshafts makes it easy to roll around. Olav Glasius Collection.
Market commentary
Sold by Coys at Silverstone in July 1993 in partially restored condition and completed subsequently. While it looks like a Europa, it isnt, instead being one of Lotuss more successful giant killer GT cars. It has all the right original stuff (except those halfshafts) and brought a healthy price from the Goodwood bidders despite the age of its restoration and its need for no small amount of expensive re commissioning.
