10k: No Photo: 1973 Lotus Europa John Player Special
The Lotus Europa is still one of our favorite classic sports cars for non-millionaires and the John Player Special edition is certainly a cool package. The last JPS special we featured kept failing to meet reserve around $15k, but today’s example could be similar in condition for much less. Find this 1973 Lotus Europa JPS for sale in Oakland, CA for $9,000 via craigslist. The seller doesn’t include any photos and the photo on the left isn’t the car being offered for sale, but it should look similar. Tip from KBZ.
It doesn't make any sense to me why someone doesn't bother taking a few photos before posting the ad, particularly for a 40-year-old car. Clearly the capability is there, the seller offers to if needed. This isn't 1978. Time, and expectations, have moved on.
