About Hagerty’s condition ratings
Lotus Europas are very small and fast, and an acquired taste. This was an excellent original car, with the usual dubious Lotus quality. The paint was fair with a few chips, the driver's seat was worn, the door seals frayed. But it was complete and correct. Claimed to be 'low miles', the odometer displays 30,306 of them.
Market commentary
Lotus didn't seem to be in favor at Fashion Square today, even if this Europa Twin Cam did bring a healthy premium for its originality. The new owner must believe the Lotus gremlins have been exorcised to have this much confidence in it.
