Its steel space-frame chassis and fibreglass bodywork give the model its low-slung silhouette and compact proportions. Compared to the first series, the S2 features a body bolted to the chassis and includes a number of equipment upgrades, such as electric windows. The model is powered by a Renault-sourced four-cylinder engine. The car on offer is a 1971 Europa S2, accompanied by a French registration certificate. This Europa is aimed at enthusiasts drawn to Lotus’s technical innovations and the special place this coupé holds in British sports car production.
