This is my 1973 Lotus Europa Special. It has a twin cam big valve motor, and is very light. A perfect autocross car, for some. An invigorating drive for sure.
It handles like a 1960 vintage F1 car.
It's constructed very simply, having a center beam, with a wishbone out back, and a horizontal up front. The suspension is hung off the ends of the horizontal and wishbone, the mid engine is cradled, and rear visibility is Zero.
It needs a little interior restoration. It's on a waiting list with a specialist.
Notice how much smaller it is than the 1982 911SC Targa, next to it.
The photo with the 997 GT3 on the left and the Targa on the right, shows it's tiny size too. Although, it's blurred by its own shadow from the flash, I hate garage photos.
I acquired the car, in a moment of insanity late last fall. Yes, even I must have some odd streak... Lucas electronics... oh my
