Its a 1969 Lotus Europa SP 2. It needs and engine and a transaxle. Anybody know where I can get the engine and transaxle for one of these? Is there a local club?

It would make a sweet dog house. :rolleyes:
Put an LS1 or STi motor in it. Look up how the 914 guys did it.

Why did the put a scoop on the front of that 914 when they stuffed the V8 behind the seats? :confused:Quote:

You should hook up with CosmosMPower. I think he drives a Lotus, too.
I would try here

This is where I used to go to get parts for my MGB, and chat up the owner for information. He's a real good guy and knows British cars.
I think Modernbeat has/had one.
+1 for that guy. My buddy bought his MGB GT there. He seemed to mostly have MG/Triumph/Jag stuff, but I'm sure he would at least be able to point you in the right direction if he didn't have any Lotus bits.Quote:

Radiator/cooling system is in the front trunk, perhaps? Needs mad airflow :-PQuote:

Mine only breaks down occasionally.Quote:
