jep Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Thanks! Not sure if I was noting all 340R in 2002. I was at the auction and bought one of the Team Lotus leather reception chairs. I had a Europa in the sale. Lot u/s. Good riddance Coys. Run by dodgy individuals for the last few decades. I bought the 50,000th Lotus in a Coys auction, I paid in full, they tried to lose the history of the car but I was wise to that and they lied to the vendor saying I hadn't paid. I knew the vendor, so that wasn't gonna wash. Thankfully they are gone. Off to Newlands meet in my R today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exeterjeep Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Just realised it must have been 2004, for this auction... I bought this long sign plus some display ramps.... This yours Justin..? @jep 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jep Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Yep @exeterjeep that is my Europa. Sold later that year, privately. Spyder chassis so not to my liking but a good car. I underbid ACBC flight bag, monogrammed. I think it went for just shy of £3k. Back on topic, Newlands today: Justin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jep Posted May 4, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Commute today. On the ride in, a scooter driver admired the R. Normally, lay people want to know top speed or bhp.....his first question was: what does it weigh? Music to my ears and made my day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jep Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Bicester Scramble today: January unwise.....hard journey home, I had to stop on M25 due to standing water and very low visibility. Once the traffic built up and slowed, I could rejoin. Bailed out at Jct 11 and took the A roads for the last few miles.

Rambo Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 10/10 for effort 👍 PS I bet most of the M25 drivers thought you were mad. I was out in the M100 with hood down and got some strange looks 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
