[font="calibri;"]2007 07MY Lotus Europa S 225bhp in Metallic Starlight Black with black leather interior. MOT until May 2013, and sold with 12 months tax. One previous owner with documented history. Excellent condition that belies its age and miles. 2.0l Turbocharged Z20LER engine, 6 Speed Manual Gearbox, Service History, Touring Pack, Full Black Leather Probax Seats, Fully Operational Air Conditioning, Push Button Start, Electric Windows, Full Cobra Thatcham Approved Alarm with 2 Fobs, Remote Central Locking, both keys. A rare and desirable car that is easier to live with on a day to day basis than an Elise/Exige due to lower sills and larger door apertures. Great to drive and I shall be quite sad to see it go.[/font]
[font="calibri;"]Manufactured on 19/09/2006, it was the third of 13 UK ‘07MY Europa in Starlight Black with black leather interior, out of an overall total build of 114 UK Europa’s built, making this car quite a rare Lotus.

[font="calibri;"]In amongst this I have looked after the car with inter service oil & filter changes. I have had the front clam and side sills professionally resprayed and fitted with a full Ventureshield paint protection film kit fitted by Bodygaurd UK, so there are no stonechips. I have also had all four alloy wheels professionally refurbished by the OE manufacturer (Rimstock) so there is absolutely no kerbing, corrosion or blistering on the wheels. Many other parts renewed as necessary, (even if not really needed!).[/font]
[font="calibri;"]Variations to the original specification:[/font]
[font="calibri;"]Larini Sports Silencer (gives a much improved exhaust note over the original silencer without being intrusive or droning at motorway speeds) – original available[/font]
[font="calibri;"]225bhp Lotus ECU upgrade (gives a useful 28bhp hike over the standard 197bhp to give the same performance as the SE model without the road tax penalty).[/font]
[font="calibri;"]Exige 4 channel ABS controller (much better calibration of the ABS than the standard VX220 derived OE unit, preventing ‘ice mode’)[/font]
[font="calibri;"]Desirable Start button fitted.[/font]
[font="calibri;"]Replacement of the dire Blaupunkt head unit with a Philips DAB/USB/SD/Bluetooth/Radio.[/font]
[font="calibri;"]It was a car that I have always wanted to own, having previously had an Elise, couple of Elan M100’s, and a VX220 Turbo, that has the best bits of all of them. A change of lifestyle means a very reluctant sale of a great car that wants for nothing. I also have a genuine set of Lotus Europa S Service Notes that will tell you how to carry out just about anything on the car, plus a few other bits and bobs available by negotiation. Please feel free to PM or phone 07021516660 with any questions you may have.[/font]
