Lotus Europa - Love it or hate it?
I've long been smitten by the Lotus Europa. In fact, I have a strong suspicion that my first vintage race car --if I am financially blessed to have ANY race car some day-- will probably be a Europa. I love how incredibly low they are, and the flares just add another level of cool. Chapman's genius for chassis engineering and use of fiberglass really shows in this peculiar car, and they are still relatively affordable and cheap to run.
However, I know I am in a small club who likes the Europa, and many consider it to be weird and ungainly. Let's hear from you, fellow Automobiliacs! Love it or hate it? And please say why you think so!
