choose the smallest size to get a "sharper" image.  Must have been shot with a 110 camera.

It's a good thing he didn't go overboard! I wonder what engine and tranny he has in it...

The mid-engined Europa shared the same turbo-charged BDA engine seen in the Capri. It only entered in a handful of races and made it to the end in just one event.

The doors, the roof, and the rear screen shape look familiar. That is about all !!!

After looking at all the perspectives of those pictures, I'd say they did a good job of making a little car bigger. I've seen hacks that were A LOT worse! It's too bad they weren't successful. I like their choice of engines!  :)
