As per a previous thread, I have decided to sell my Europa.
The car is a 1973 JPS with 30,429 miles on the clock. It was restored by Richard Winter in January 2015, and has a massive list of work done and parts replaced - I have an eye watering list of receipts!! It has been in the family for over 30 years but sadly it is now time for her to go to a loving new home!
The twin cam was rebuilt, all new brakes and servo plus lines, new chassis, new radiator, new stainless steel transfer pipes, new fuel tanks, new starter motor, new clutch etc etc the list is endless.
The car is mechanically superb as you would expect from a Richard Winter car.
The paintwork is completely original - so there is some spider cracking in places, as would be expected, but is is fantastic condition. I have attached a link to a previous thread with pictures of the car. The interior is also completely original.

I am open to offers on the car at this point. Any questions, picture requests etc, please just ask!
Thanks for looking

Just writing up a 'CV' for the car ready to give out to Richard and came across some of the engine rebuild photos Richard took during the restoration! Mmmmmm shiny!!

Hi guys, just a quick post to say that if anyone is interested, or knows someone who may be, full documentation about the car has now been provided to Richard @Banks to pass on to interested parties and there is also a small advert on the pin board of his website. Any users can contact me on here, or they can contact Richard @Banks if they wish.
Many thanks for looking!

I think I saw that car at Richards a couple of years ago. Did you have to have the engine rebuilt twice? How much are you after for it?

Hi Dave,
The car was with Richard between July 2014 - January 2015 for it's restoration. The engine has only been rebuilt once - by Richard during the restoration :)
In terms of price, I am open to sensible offers :D

The car is now sold :'(

Sad day I'm sure for you but congrats on the sale.

Thanks Grumblebuns. A very sad day indeed, but it is going to a lovely new home.

I concur. It is a very sad day! I hope it went to a good home!
Would you be willing to let us know what you got for it?
