Hello and Welcome Mike ...

Love the photos of the Europa, I've actually never seen one in orange but I think it suits the car down to the ground. Have you extensively rebuilt / refurbished it as it looks in perfect condition and a pride to own?

CJ

Love that engine bay.
Does the car get used in competition (dry sump)?
Is that pressure guage fitted in the fuel line after the pressure regulator? If so what pressure do you run at?

Cheers
John

WOW, that is one very nice looking car.

Come on Mike...2009 has got to be the year to get it out on the road again, we are all waiting to hear the sound of that tremendous twin cam screaming around the lanes of Warwickshire
Cheers, Tim

I agree with Tim this is car needs to be back on the road .

Found some old photos of the Lotus Drivers Club Sprints at Wellesbourne in the 1980's!

Does anyone remember these?!
Particularly interested to know the whereabouts of the videos of these events (LDC members could rent these from the club).

Best regards,
Mike

Fantastic to see the "good old days" and the LDC famous Wellsbourne sprints. Kim Eaton may know of any videos, Simon Bloomfield may also know of them.

I have more photos of the Wellesbourne Sprints. It may be of interest to setup a Wellesbourne 1980's Gallery?

Regarding the official LDC videos of these events, it would be great to track them down if they still exist. I'll ask Kim and Simon at tomorrow's midlands area meeting perhaps...

If you have the photos that would be a great idea indeed

You can create a new topic in the Gallery section for Events Photos and Reports as this would be of great interest to all and for future reference. I would also be interested in them for the LDC Website as well.
