Thanks again Graham, I have in the past managed to find my way through the photo posting labyrinth, though when I set up the new album and directly from there selected the embedded codes it only showed the ones I posted and not the list of options available elsewhere on the hosting site. I may get it right someday, and forget how to achieve it by the next day... Duh..!
As for the portly Europa, the chap and his good lady were neither young nor slim, and a degree of determination may have been required relative to access and egress, I also suspect the sunroof would have been put to good use given the high temps at LM that year.
I was in my late twenties when I owned my Europa so no problems getting in and out of it back then, when I bought the old thing it was full of water up to the tops of the sills, all the pedals were seized, had a lot of fun restoring it and even more driving it, little Lotus cars were really rather special, and I have no doubt they still are though never driven any Lotus any newer than my LT engined Elite, which was a bit of a disappointment compared to the earlier Elan and Europa models.
