With its 'Big Valve' Twin-Cam and distinctive livery, the John Player Special was the most desirable iteration of Lotus' game-changing Europa.
UK supplied, right-hand drive indicating 79,804 miles. Beautifully restored in 2006 by Peter Smith Sports Cars. Detailed history file with images from restoration and invoices etc. Well-presented and ready to be enjoyed this summer. Offered here is rather a special little Lotus instantly recognisable by its ‘bread-van’ profile and glorious, iconic ‘John Player Special’ paint scheme. First registered in October 1974 this Europa has the desirable Lotus/Ford twin-cam engine and is noted on the registration paperwork as a ‘Special’ model.
The ‘Special’ model was a limited run of Europas, the final and most advanced evolution exclusively finished in ‘John Player Special’ colours commemorating Team Lotus' 1972 F1 World Championship title. GFB 864N was subject to extensive restoration works back in 2006 by Lotus specialist, Peter Smith Sports Cars, with invoices and images from the restoration contained in the comprehensive history file alongside the original service book, a wealth of invoices and assorted paperwork, old MOTs, letters from Lotus, old period images and a current V5C.
In summary, this is a rare opportunity to take ownership of an enjoyable British miniature GT that really represents a snapshot in time when Lotus dominated motorsport and vehicle design had no boundaries. A real eyeful and thrilling to drive, this cracking little sports car is offered from a private collection of landmark automobiles and very sensibly guided.
