lets see your Lotus(s)!

I've always absolutely loved Europa twin-cams, especially in JPS although yellow runs it a close second. I've never managed to fall in love with the earlier cars with the higher back end.

In my time it was nightmare trying to find a good Europa and I was very happy to end up in an S3 Esprit instead. Great cars.

I am sceptical of the volume of bread that can accommodate.

You can get buns in it.

My old JPS Plus 2, now restored and with new owner (my current Evora in background).

and my dearly departed +2S at the top of Kirkstone pass on it's first run out after a 7 year restoration - sadly it went away to its new owner last August after 11 years - I rebuilt that car from scratch and really miss it

Or flatbreads, I suppose.

Buns are more fun, especially the ones that you can get in the passenger seat.

Fabby! I had a similar plaque on my Europa Special.

Baps are good too.

I concur.

I had this earlyish Excel in 2014-15.

My second Lotus ... I'm normally a Porsche fan for this kind of car ... but GT3's are now so big and I have fallen out with the Porsche Dealer method of new car allocation ... 'Luvving it !

And it is FAST !

This 1972 Europa Twin Cam is now in Australia, but here it is when I owned it in 2012.

That's a coincidence, my 1972 Europa Twin Cam went to Australia too! Sold it around ten years ago as I was struggling to get in and out. I had it painted in Gold Leaf colours, looked fantastic and handled like a dream. Must learn how to put pictures up.

That is the only car (and colour) I would part with my Type 25sc for. Stunner!

That's a beautiful car, nice part of Lotus history too.
