1972 Lotus Europa Special #2 (Tamiya)

I've made a brief start. I don't know what colour to go with yet.

Nice one ! - Knew a chap in the car club who had real one in purple metallic, but there seemed to be a lot of blue ones buzzing about at the time.

Black, JPS decals are in the kit but they're probably fecked as mine were.

I have a spare set around here somewhere if you want them let me know.

Thanks for the offer but I've already done a black one.
This kit is a new re-issue with some PE parts and optional spoiler & wheels but more importantly, new decals.

Can we see the box art Dave?

Maybe white might look good.

quod erat denomstramdum there mate!

I remember the black one dave, will be nice to see this one in white!

Well despite what Shay was incoherently babbling about, i'm afraid I've decided on clear red over gold for this next one.

Always loved the looks of these.

Europas are nice looking cars, as are GT40’s, both very low and tough to get in and out of.
The GT40 was just over 40” tall, the Europa was a tad taller at 44”.
I had a Spitfire at 47” and I had to roll out of the car to exit it, easier with the top down.

Ron, I had a Fiat 850 spyder, I think that beats you.
