| Fully restored classic Lotus Europa TC. 2554R was originally delivered in California and owned by two adult owners before being purchased in 2004 and driven to Pennsyvania for a world class over the top restoration. The acquisition cost of the car was $14,000 and the receipts from most of the restoration total $77,000. As is often the case not all receipts are present so one can only imagine the total cost to replicate this car in dollars. To replicate it in the most valuable of resources (time) would be nearly impossible. This car is the 554th Twin Cam Europa built by Lotus in the summer of 1972 for export to the USA. Full frame off restoration completed in 2005 and done to world class specifications. The car runs fantastic, is well and completely sorted out, having been driven 2000 miles since completion and it is in the condition represented by the photos taken today. A totally turn key blast ready now without the headaches. It can be driven everyday or shown immedialtely. 1st place silver anniversery rally Lotus owners gathering Best in Class Buckingham Concours d elegance Four other best in class wins including the LOG-24 and the Hampton's Concours d Elegance The frame and all suspension componets have been powder coated.
