Photoshoot Lotus Europa S
Discussion
Hi guys,
A couple of months ago I did a photoshoot with a Lotus Europa S. It's the second Europa S I ever saw. I saw the first one in London last year when being in a Ferrari F40, a silver/greyish one. Both owners looked quite surprised.
I did this shoot in May. At the moment, it used to be the only Europa S registered with a license plate in the Netherlands. Currently, we have two. A black one joined this white car. I'd thought I'd share the shots, hope you like them. Thanks for viewing.

Beautiful pictures! You've really captured the rare beauty of the Europa. But I have to say, the Europa is a nice car, its the rear end and those fugly cuts on the rear bumper that looks like it was produced in the eighties that ruin the shape of the Europa. Otherwise, I dare say that it would be a hit with the Lotus masses.

For some reasons its one of those cars that does not come across well in photos usually, the above makes it look great. Why is is so many people dismiss them or put them down. Division said:

Looks great! The Europa is such a cool car, and as an owner I quite like the fact that there are so few of them!! I do agree that in the main its a difficult car to photo!A couple of months ago I did a photoshoot with a Lotus Europa S. It's the second Europa S I ever saw.

As for above, that surpised owner might have been me! Was in just outside London near Windsor? I remember being next to an F40; it was the first one I'd seen on the road so was a bit surprised!!!!
It was near Swiss Cottage, coming from St Johns Wood. I believe the Europa drove in the direction of Finchley Road. We went up on Fitzjohn's Avenue. But that's been a while though. I did the F40 shoot on 28 July 2008, so more than a year ago.

That's one great looking Europa you got there. Did you lower it? I hope to join that Stelvio trip some day as a passenger. It looks so stunning.
It's my other half's (LoopyLea). It has Nitrons, 235bhp (soon to be remapped and charge cooled to 270) and a Miltec exhaust. I was going to buy it off her since she only keeps her cars 1 year. 2 years later she is smitten! These things are now unfolding and people are really coming around to what they are about. After a few minor mods.... 
Yes it is lowered! Scrapped the underside quite a few times around the hairpins in the Alps
