LOTUS EUROPA S 2008

A rare opportunity to own a properly sorted 2008 Lotus Europa S, one of just 456 ever built. This example has been factory-upgraded to SE spec at Hethel, receiving the improved engine map, Lux Tourer interior, SE alloy wheels, and upgraded suspension. In addition, it has been further enhanced with the Vauxhall VXR turbocharger, bringing performance in line with the very best Europas. In 2021, a Chris Tullett Engineering (CTE) stainless exhaust was fitted, adding to the car’s character and performance.

Mechanically, this Europa is in fantastic condition, with a full service history and just two owners from new. The lightweight bonded aluminium chassis combined with its SE-spec upgrades makes this a rare and highly capable driver’s car. If you’re looking for a Europa SE that you can truly enjoy without hesitation, this is an excellent choice.

Cosmetically, it shows age-appropriate wear, with the leather interior reflecting its mileage and stone rash on the front bumper, as expected for a car of this era. However, its driving experience remains outstanding, offering the raw, engaging feel that Lotus is renowned for. A genuine driver’s car, perfect for someone who appreciates rarity and performance in equal measure.
