Lotus Europa info wanted.

[kburtch@pts.mot.com (Kevin Burtch X8534 Ppppp)]

I would like any info anyone can give me (or point me toward) on the
Lotus Europa. I've found one for sale (that I can afford!!) and I want
to know things to look out for. I also would like to know if any mail-order
houses stock parts for them, as VBL and TRF do for the Triumph and MG cars.
I heard the front suspension was from a Spitfire, but this may be entirely
wrong. (anyone??) Are parts expensive for them??

Thanks! I really appreciate any information anyone can give me.
