Too small for Peter SV apparently!

It’s not really a Lotus if a normal sized person can get in it comfortably.

That’s awesome. Wish there were more of those things around.

I’m 190 cm tall and I test fitted myself in Europa once. I did barely fit in but the car didn’t have pedals installed. So I guess I don’t need to buy that one...

I do fit in an early Esprit but there’s no room for a helmet.

That Europa is actually really clean. Like, was this a barn find, or was it just sitting for a long time?

I mean, the windows are good, the body appears to be pretty solid, and best of all, most of it’s paint seems to still be sort of attached to the car.

You just have a knack for finding awesome cars on the dirt cheap. Want to find me a 914 2.0?

Poor form. One leg in at a time, then you sit.

Thanks! It’s not so clean underneath unfortunately. It’s been sitting outside for 5 years. And I’m still looking for a 914 too!

Some time with a grinder and POR15 should get it back into shape though.

So to save garage space, you’re just going to pick it up and stuff it into the trunk of the Chrysler?

Wow, my 240z seems tight but that added lightness came from downsizing! If you gave space I would totally work on one of those long term. I see them in Japan sometimes.

it wasnt comfortable, but it had nothing to do with the size...
