Introducing this 1972 Lotus Europa S2, finished in classic Lotus Yellow over a black interior. With its low-slung profile and unmistakable wedge-shaped design, the Europa remains one of the most distinctive British sports cars of its era.
Highlights: - Exterior Color: Lotus Yellow - 1.6L I4 Engine - Four-Speed Manual Transaxle - Solex Carburetor - Front-Wheel Disc Brakes - Power Windows - Classic Wood Veneer Fascia - Center Console - Boman Astrosonix Radio - Smiths and Lucas Instrumentation - Chrome Accents
Power comes from a 1.6L inline-four engine paired with a four-speed manual transaxle and Solex carburetor. The lightweight chassis and mid-engine layout give the car a connected, analog driving experience that feels true to its roots. Front-wheel disc brakes provide optimal stopping power, while the single exhaust outlet delivers a subtle, period-correct tone.
The exterior is complemented by chrome bumpers and trim, along with 13-inch alloy wheels featuring a distinctive four-spoke cross design. It rides on Sonar tires and includes a jack and spare tire. The removable black plastic rear luggage bucket, mounted above the transaxle, is present, an innovative packaging solution unique to the Europas compact design.
Inside, youll find factory-style high-back bucket seats with textured basketweave inserts, a classic wood veneer fascia, Smiths/Lucas instrumentation, center console, power windows, and a Boman Astrosonix radio. The cabin layout is simple and driver-focused, reflecting Lotus founder Colin Chapmans philosophy of keeping things lightweight and purposeful.
The Europa was one of the first affordable production cars to feature a mid-engine layout, a configuration typically reserved for high-end exotics at the time, helping cement Lotus reputation for advanced engineering.
If youre searching for a vintage British sports car with distinctive styling, engaging road manners, and true 1970s character, this Lotus Europa S2 is available and mechanically sound. For $19,750
