 LOTUS 
          EUROPA (1967 - 1974) The first truly roadable mid-priced mid-engined 
          street car produced. A glass-fiber body draped over a steel backbone 
          chassis with 4 wheel independent suspension. Early cars were powered 
          by a Lotus modified Renault engine. Later this engine was replaced by 
          the Lotus Twin Cam engine and a 5 speed gearbox. Unbelievable handling 
          and roadholding, often described by motorcar journalists as the nearest 
          thing to a Formula car for the street.  |
