1972 lotus europa - charlotte, ncfor sale by ownercharlotte, nc 28210ph: 9801019240web: www. Newdayautosales. Netoptions:description:1972 lotus europa s3 twin cam, 60k original miles offered is a 1972 lotus europa s3 twin cam vin #46/2503r, build in july ’72 just a few serial numbers before the lotus switched to the special model. As such it already includes the stronger special 365 4sp with rear shifter, big valve engine with sprint cams, brake boosters and many other upgrades that special is known for. No accidents and no rust on the chassis. The suspension is clean with bolts still showing factory plating. The car is not restored and is 100% original. The car was fitted from factory with koni shocks. The rears were replaced with new factory set (trying to rise the rear but it’s the same height as before) the original konis assemblies are included in the sale. The rear bearings were redone including new u-joints. The car was last used in 1996. It’s being in the shop on display most of its life. The car was prepped for the storage by lubricating the engine, taking gas out, etc. Engine rotated every month. The car has some engine modifications. The valve cover is stamped with the level of modifications. Emissions deleted, polished and balanced engine internals, higher compression, aluminum flywheel, exhaust headers, japanese alternator, etc. The interior is nice – dash is good but the clear coat has cracks. The dash abs cap needs to be replaced – it’s warped from the texas sun. Rear suspension has adjustable lower links. The car has a sunroof installed which can be completely removed – making the interior open and letting the air in and out better. Yes not original but actually very functional and a pleasure to have. A complete replacement roof cap is included in the sale if the new owner wants to remove the sunroof. The car has new 15x7 period correct looking wheels and new dunlop tires with “0” miles. Hubs were upgraded with larger studs and lug nuts. If the original spider wheels are preferred i can exchange them but the car is being sold with one set of wheels. Sunroof/Moonroof

This gets us a bit excited because the S4 was one of the most. The lightweight fiberglass body is intact, and the resin is showing its version of patina. Still, the S4 was the longest of the true Sevens, and the larger fenders are a real benefit on wet days Bucket Seats

This is a calif car, has arizona title but i have the calif plate. This car was driven the first few years of its life, then was put into storage because it would not pass calif smog. The car is now smog exempt by age. This is a original running and driving car. Everything works except the fuel gauge. These cars are just starting to go up in value and should continue. This is a true time capsule. I have the original bill of sale along with a small notebook withfuel and oil added during its early life. The engine # is correct.
