Funny how things crop up out of the Blue.

My Uncle Bought this Year's ago. We restored it and added to its original purchase price 10 fold.

Well I moved abroad and thought he sold it a few year back. Went for a gander in his Garage and found it .. Need to be restored again. Maybe gonna make a start this week. The Carb off it and need's replacing ..
It's got the rare 1.4 Renault engine in it. 1971 .. Old Skool MR2 type of Motor (MID ENGINE / RWD / 2 Seater)

Hope He might let me have it when its done

Anyone know what it is?

 

think its a lotus

 

Early lotus elan

 

Lotus europa , i have one too.

But why is that Renault engine rare?

 

Give the man a jaffa cake

It's got the 1.4 Renault in it .. Apparently more rare than the 1.6? Thats what he told me anyhow.

He was on about finding a Twin Cam engine for it ..

Any ideas?

Still got the Jig for lifting the shell off it .. Gonna need a new petrol tank as well .. Gonna make a start next week some time.

P.S ... lets see a piccy of ya car them mate?

 

A colleague at work has a JPS Europa (twin cam), but I'm trying to convince him that he should swap the under powered twin cam for a Duratec HE.
