The car is a Lotus Europa JPS Special 1974 , and has a Big Valve Motor with a 5 speed gear box. The car still has the original lotus rims and handles well. It is a very exhilarating car to drive.

I purchased this particular vehicle from Lismore, NSW in February 2005. Mark, the seller had owned the car for approximately 4 years, and during this time had re-uphostered the interior. The car all over was in fairly good condition.

Mark had purchased the car from a friend in Singapore , where the car had been for many years. When in Singapore the car was repainted red, originally it had been black with gold pin strip. Due to the humidity in Singapore , the car was fitted with an air-conditioner, but the heater was removed.

Since owning the car I have redone all the suspension, refitted the heater, fitted stainless steel water pipes to the radiator, replaced front and back wheel bearings, had the head re-conditioned, hardened valves and seats, so I do not have to put additives in to the fuel. I have tidied up the engine bay and tried to get it as authentic as possible. I enjoy driving the car and hope to slowly complete renovating it in the future.
