Ahhh....the Europa!

Here's one saddled up next to my new ITB car, at my friend's shop in Baltimore.

Tough to work on - amazing to drive.

Gosh I want a Europa. I'd still be fine with the Elan though. Both very similar in theory.

my Uncle has the matching Esprit in JPS livery.

So you got your track car. Great.

Did I miss a previous posting with more details/pics?

If so, can you post a link, or if not....more pics please!

I always thought

'why bother with that dinky rear window?'

until I drove one-

everything else is so much taller than you,

it works just fine!

As does the rest of the car...

Hey Tony -

I'm waiting for more "before and after" photos, before I post more info on it. Here's a teaser, though...new seat brackets (the previous seat brackets had a couple pieces of an aluminum sign bolted to them with 2 different sizes SAE bolts. I'm more-than-a-little fanatical about metric fasteners - so it's being done differently by me. I only want to carry ONE set of tools to the track - and reduce my trips to the tool box whenever possible. 12.9 8x1.25mm allen bolts will be holding the new seat in - mounted on overpriced FIA approved slider rails to allow other drivers to sit behind the wheel.

More photos soon!

And Europas have got to be one of the most awkward looking sports cars ever. Great paint on that one though, and I'm sure they're amazing to drive...

Lookin good Paul. Since you're east coast I guess there's a chance to see you run it this year.

Will you be going to Watkins, or Mosport at all?
