The Lotus Europa: An
Enthusiast Guide and Pictorial Review. By Lotus driver Paul Robinshaw
and Dave Francis. At long last, a book dedicated to the first mid-engined
Lotus road car. The Series I Europa was introduced as an export-only model.
It used the 1470cc Renault engine slightly tweaked. The chassis was bonded
to the body making work expensive and the ventilation needed improving.
The Series II had a detachable chassis, electric door windows and a better
dash. Sales in the UK began in July 1969. In the USA the car was fitted
with a 1565cc emission-controlled Renault engine. In 1971 Colin Chapman
launched the Twin Cam Europa using the 1558cc Lotus Ford engine with changed
styling. Last of all was the Europa Special, available from august 1972
featuring the Big Valve Lotus Ford engine with Renault’s five-speed
gearbox. Production ceased in March 1975.
The book is a concise and factual look at the Europa and its derivatives
as well as the types 47 and 62 racing. Technical specifications, period
advertisements and publicity material. 132 pgs., 192 b/w photos, mostly
unpublished before. This book will enhance your enthusiasm and assist
you in renovation, restoration and preparation.
