This book is a semi-technical and semi-humorous account of the restoration of a Lotus Europa. A Lotus Europa is an old British car that was imported to the United States from about 1966 to about 1973. I had previously restored a Lotus Cortina, a Lotus Seven and several Lotus Elans. This was my first atttempt at a total body off restoration of a Lotus Europa. I kept track of my progress and/or my heartburn moments in monthly articles for our Lotus Corps car club newsletter called the Lotus Notus. I kept all the articles and now this book is the collection of those articles. I had a lot of fun restoring the car and writing the articles. I hope you enjoy the book!
