1972 LOTUS EUROPA

The 1972 Lotus Europa Sports captures the essence of Colin Chapman lightweight engineering, presented in vibrant yellow with a black interior and powered by a 1558 cc petrol engine with manual transmission. With 57265 miles recorded and MOT valid until 21.12.2026, this is a compelling opportunity for the classic sports car enthusiast.

The Europa was revolutionary for its time, utilising a fibreglass body mounted to a steel backbone chassis and a mid-mounted engine configuration to deliver exceptional handling balance. Its low, wedge-shaped design gave it a distinctive and exotic presence, while its lightweight construction ensured remarkable agility and driver engagement.

Finished in yellow, this example highlights the timeless styling and purposeful stance that define the model. The black interior offers a simple, focused driving environment, placing emphasis firmly on the connection between driver and road. The 1558 cc engine paired with a manual gearbox provides a mechanical, analogue experience that remains highly rewarding.

Having had six former keepers and showing 57265 miles, this Europa Sports represents an accessible and characterful entry into classic Lotus ownership. Supplied with MOT until 21.12.2026 and a recent service in December 2025 at Hofmanns of Henley, it is ready for its next custodian to enjoy and preserve. A well-documented maintenance and service history is available for the new keeper.
