1971 LOTUS Europa French vehicle registration certificate • Rear-mid-engine layout • Steel space-frame chassis and fiberglass body Starting in 1968, the Lotus Europa S2 further developed the concept of a lightweight, rear-mid-engine sports car pioneered by Colin Chapman.

Compared to the first series, the S2 features a body bolted to the chassis and includes equipment upgrades, such as power windows. The model is powered by a Renault-sourced four-cylinder engine. The vehicle shown here is a 1971 Europa S2, accompanied by a French vehicle registration certificate. This Europa is intended for an enthusiast drawn to Lotus’s technical innovations and the unique place this coupe holds in British sports car production.
