 Lotus Show 2000
The weather didn't appear to dampen the spirits of the crowds at this year's Donington Lotus Show.
Throughout the day a number of seminars had been organised covering the topics of 'buying a used Lotus', 'Lotus fibreglass and paint' and 'preparing a Lotus for track days' which were well attended.
Overall the show was (as usual) well attended by both the exhibitors and the public, but with an independent show held at the end of last year which offered a similar experience, it might be necessary to change the formula to keep the show fresh and keep the public coming back for more.

He raced it in 1965 (red with original Mk4 body), and in 1966 "widened it to accept a new body" (apparently a red Mk4B body).
He thinks one might have been a Mk4 and the other was definitely Mk4B #103 (which I now have).

 Lotus Europa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 4-wheel independent suspension was as minimalist as everything else on the car; for instance, the rear suspension consisted of two relatively large trailing arms, one lower link per side, and the axles; very similar to Formula type race cars of that era.
Lotus turned the engine and gearbox through 180° to accommodate the Europa's longitudinal mid-engined layout, inverting the gearbox's crown wheel and its pinion gear to avoid having four reverse gears.
Lotus Europa S production is scheduled to commence in July 2006.
