1971 Europa S2 for sale ->SOLD<-
« on: Thursday,July 30, 2015, 03:24:43 PM »
Selling my mostly original Cirrus white S2. I bought 1098R ten years ago as a very original S2 even up to having the federal emissions equipment still installed. The previous owner lost interest in the car and let it sit outside for several years. Even in Arizona, it rains. I received the car with moderate corrosion but with most of the systems frozen up except for the engine.

Working on it off and on for the last ten years, turned a non running car into a good solid runner. I need to move onto other projects so I'll leave it to the next owner to complete the restoration of 1098R. These are the changes or modification to the car from original due to worn or failed parts or to enhance reliability:

new front control arm bushings
new front and rear Spax dampers and springs
Twin cam alloy wheels with Sumitomo HTR200 185/60R/13 tires
Facet electric fuel pump
Weber 32/36 DFEV with electric choke
new water pump/temperature sender/Otter switch/fan and refurbished original radiator
seats recovered
new aftermarket brake master cylinder
front calipers rebuilt
steel braided front brake lines
gear reduction starter with remote starter relay
alloy swirl tank
solid state voltage stabilizer
 

The stuff that still needs to be fixed or done:

the electrics need to be gone through, the fuel gauge does not work
paint, the car still has the original factory paint and it shows. It really needs a new paint job.
the headliner is missing
the firewall insulation has been chewed up by mice
windshield surround is missing
non original dash

Most of the original parts that were replaced have been retained and will come with the car. All of the bright work and glass are in very good to excellent shape. Additional photos under 1098R are located on:
