Miscellaneous

The Lotus Europa Twin Cam Type 74, a true icon of British motor racing in the 1970s. Designed by Colin Chapman in accordance with the founding principles of lightness and efficiency, the Type 74 marked the pinnacle of the Europa range with the introduction of the Ford-Lotus Twin Cam engine and a reinforced chassis. The Lotus Europa was the first road car to feature a longitudinal mid-rear engine.

This version stands out for its enhanced performance and sharp handling, thanks to its 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine producing 115 chevaux, coupled with a feather-light kerb weight of around 700 kg. It perfectly embodies the ‘light is right’ philosophy so dear to Lotus, with ideal weight distribution and exceptional road holding.

Key strengths:

A rare and sought-after model – Type 74

Eligible for prestigious events such as the Tour Auto and the Tour de Corse Historique

A vehicle ready to hit the road or line up at the starting line

Originally from the UK, converted to left-hand drive.
