Managing Director – Bridge Classic Cars

Our striking 1971 Lotus Europa that arrived with us last week is having her first wash in well over ten years.

After spending her entire life as part of the Dew family in Suffolk, having been passed down through the generations, it was finally time for the Lotus to be welcomed into a new family; the Bridge Classic Cars family.

Like most barn find classics, we first needed to give her a well-deserved and thorough scrub.

We’re still toying with the idea of removing her Road Runner sticker from the side panel. It certainly brings some fun to the classic sports car, but it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea that’s for sure!

Next we plan to remove the gearbox, recommission the brakes and service the engine.

Hopefully she’ll be be back to her road-running self in no time!
