The Lotus Europa, a groundbreaking mid-engined road car, emerged from the creative mind of Colin Chapman and Lotus, marking the company's inaugural venture into this realm. Spanning from 1966 to 1975, this remarkable vehicle not only revolutionized automotive engineering but also carved a distinctive path in the automotive history books.

These road cars not only showcased their prowess on the track but also continue to captivate enthusiasts in historic racing events today. In addition to providing a wealth of technical information, the book also includes insightful owner impressions and interviews with ex-Lotus employees, offering a unique perspective into the ownership, running, and racing of these iconic cars. Whether you are an automotive enthusiast, a history buff, or simply someone captivated by the beauty and performance of these remarkable machines, The Lotus Europa: A Technical Guide is a must-read for anyone seeking to delve deeper into the world of this legendary sports car.
