Edit: it's a twin cam, not an S2. The first picture makes the sail panels look bigger.

Saw this and figured one of you crazies might be interested. Looks like a good starting point. Not mine, saw it on the Lotus Europa FB group.  Let me know if you want contact info and I'll reach out to the seller if you're not a FB group member.

If that ain't the ugliest car I've seen...

I started down this path with my 73 Twin Cam, but sold it all prior to our move. At this point a Gordini powered S2 seems like a better way to enjoy a Europa with out having to re-engineer nearly everything.

Pete, I thought of you when I posted this ad and I agree. If you can find a running, or ran when parked and complete car - that's a way better way to get into the driving part of enjoyment.

Of the Europas still in existence, I wonder how many are unfinished projects? I guess, being a Lotus - there's only a finite time when it might not be considered a project.

I think you'd also have to define "existence" to answer that question. laugh If you're including anything from a rotted body to a complete car, I'd be really surprised if 15% of them run & drive.
