Nice to see the two Europa's together. I have the current version in yellow, and buy the brown one for extra wheels. I sure miss the SF version I had when I was MUCH younger.

Is that what we call double trouble? :lol: The Lotus Europa was a very nice casting from MB!

Cool cars let down by less-than-mediocre electrics.

It's not all Lucas' fault! The pink Europa is a early car, a mk1. These had a Renault engine and gearbox. If you've ever had a French car you'll understand that Lucas are a paragon of reliability.

The blue car is a later one, the twin cam. This had a Ford engine.
