Regarding wheels, Richard on the Yahoo group has fitted 15" MGF wheels on his S2, and that's got standard bodywork. They are the same bolt pattern and I think he used 195/50 tyres all round, but it will be in the knowledgebase so easily checked.

Your car looks great, Kid! But then I already knew it did!  :)

It looks like a nice event with some other interesting Loti there!

Very nice car, Vito! And I see you're wearing the proper shirt (for this season, anyway)!

 :coolpic:  A couple of great looking Europas!

Here is mine parked next to my new super sized daily driver.... OR, the Europa and perspective of the shot makes the Eos look larger than life.

Hers is my type 65 -71 Europa S2. It has a Crossflow engine and a 5-speed gearbox. Im am currently working on mounting an external Engine oil cooler and oil filter from Mocal.

I also need to get the rear bumper re-chromed as it is in a sorry shape.

Best regards
John

Just wanted to add this weekends achievements :-)

Inspired by another Europa owner http://www.prevanders.net/europa/oilsystem.html i have installed an external oil filter and thermostated oil cooler. I bought the bits from Mocal and manufactured the oil cooler duct in sheet aluminium. Then a local hydralic shop created the hoses.

It will be interesting to see how it all works out.
