It has taken me a long time to remember to get my list. Yes the front end
of the Europa is Triumph Herald/Spitfire
What follows is taken from a parts cross-reference as provided when I
joined Lotus, Limited. In fact this list is from Bill Murdock and John
Barron as published first in Australia in 1977, in the newsletter of Club
Lotus Australia. There I think I got all the credits in so this is legal
to post. As the editor's comments say, "most of the source vehicles are
not around here in great numbers. Still, the list does make interesting
reading!".
