They are identical although they may have been mounted upside down on the Lotus.

I took both bumper out and brought them home. The frnt bumper looks the same as the anglia I got home , the rear bumper is too long though. It doesnt fit. That car is a small amazing looking thing all fibreglass.

Lotus Europe 66-75 and Lotus Elan +2 uses the Anglia 105E front bumper and BMC rear bumper. I thought perhaps from a Wolseley.

Good to know. We all know that Lotus Cortina front quarter bumpers are Anglia van rear items. Did you know that MK 2 Zephyr overriders were used on Aston Martin DB5.

Looks like a series II Europa. I had a 1970 with a Renault 1600 with a Gordini cylinder head and use to give twin cams a run for their money at auto-x runs.
