Ooh nice

Southport-based Europa Engineering, run by Richard Winter has long been producing replicas of classic Lotus Europa 47 and 62S models, while he’s also a leading supplier of parts for Lotus’ ‘car for Europe’.

For several years, Richard, who has one of the most exquisite collections of classic motorcycles I’ve ever seen, has been wanting to take things more slowly and with that in mind, a new company called Lotus Supplies has taken over the parts side of the business.

Run by Nick Walker and erstwhile Europe Engineering customer, Dave Smith, Lotus Supplies, the pair are long-term car modifiers and Lotus enthusiasts and have plans to develop the business further, initially adding a spares inventory for the Lotus Elan.

A new Lotus Supplies website is being developed while they’ll be trading from Richard’s Southport address. Incidentally, Mr Winter will remain involved with the business and will continue on with fielding technical enquiries.
