1972 Lotus Europa Special VVE 3L

This is the very first retail Europa Special supplied by Lotus as evidenced by Lotus Certificate of Provenance and additional documentation. Supplied in Lagoon Blue with gold pinstriping and oatmeal trim, registration VVE 3L. Laid up since the early 1980's, has matching numbers.

In 2019 the body was received back from Option 1, the specialist Lotus body restorers, having been through their Seven Stage Restoration Process at a cost of £11,094, see https://www.option1sportscars.co.uk/restoration/. The finish is superb, and it should prevent any future cracking. New hinges and correctly hung panels will give the best possible gapping.

The engine block and head have been restored with new pistons, valves etc (£2750) ready for mating and testing, together with the specialist restored 5 speed gearbox and Dellortos. The original chassis has been restored by Lotus Specialists to preserve original stamped numbers. Wheels have been diamond cut and coated, and many new parts have been purchased.

Drive train, interior, suspension, brakes and exhaust etc need processing.

This is a rare opportunity to own a very special ‘Special' to be built into a superb show car. For collection from Somerton, Somerset. Private sale.
