Hagerty Europa Article
« on: Monday,May 20, 2019, 07:24:43 AM »
I'm sure some of you have been already following the Europa restoration installments on the Hagerty Insurance website. If not, this is a great read. This is the 7th installment.  The author has posted some questions on this forum along his Europa sojourn.

I've read several of his columns. He's an engaging writer and good at adding to my knowledge (admittedly a low bar). I read his first three articles about his Europa a few years ago and had a short email conversation with him where I hoped to encourage him to finish his project but I was unsuccessful and he put it on the back burner for a few years. When he started back up, I tried to catch up with his progress but I'm pretty sure I've missed a few of the columns where he restarts his project. I'd like to read them in order.

I want to shout out to Hagerty. They have great insurance at a great price and their magazine is always great fun.

 I do believe the owner of the Hagerty car posts on here from tint to time. Last thread he had was an engine assembly one.  He goes by the handle “thehackmechanic”

As a policy holder w/ them, I have followed the journey ...

 Rob can also be found on the Lotus Europa Facebook group. He recently posted a video of the car driving after 40yrs.
