INTRODUCTION
This Workshop Manual, which is in loose-leaf form for easy amendment, has been compiled to assist Lotus
Dealers throughout the world in the efficient repair and maintenance of the Lotus Europa models.
The various units and systems of the vehicle are dealt with in sections which are listed on page 5, each
being distinguished by a reference letter, this letter being the same as is used in other service publications (i.e.,
A -- chassis in Parts Lists and in the Labour Schedule). Each section thus referred to opens with a contents page
so that any particular operation can be easily located.
