1974 Lotus EUROPA SPECIAL

In 1971, the Type 74 Europa Twin Cam was made available to the public, featuring a 105 hp 1557 cc Lotus-Ford Twin Cam engine (113 hp for the American "Federal" version with standard emission control and a Big Valve engine with Stromberg carburetors, until the end of production) and a redesigned body for improved rear visibility. Initially, it was available with the same gearbox as the earlier models. After stock ran out in 1972, a new, more powerful Renault four-speed gearbox (Type 352) was introduced. Mike Kimberley, who would later become CEO of Group Lotus and had just joined Lotus as an engineer at the time, was appointed chief engineer of the Europa TC project. 1580 examples of the Europa "Twin Cam" were delivered before Lotus switched to a 126 hp "Big Valve" version of the engine. In Europe and the rest of the world, the Big Valve "Europa Special" version was fitted with a Dell'Orto carburetor version of the same engine.
