Banks Europa UK Youtube channel
« on: Thursday,October 28, 2021, 02:48:21 PM »
I found this by accident. Apparently, someone at Banks, aka Europa Engineering, (I don't think it was Richard since he didn't use to like to even use email, but then, maybe it was) posted some pictures of cars and activities around the shop. Most of them are between 2 and 3 minutes.

I wonder if our own JR73 makes an appearance?

wow there's some old video on that channel ! 

And to think that back in the day it was probably cutting edge stuff to record your build on a camcorder which probably cost you north of £800 (I think ours was over that anyway) and yet today you can take far higher quality video on your phone....

Thankfully not! The footage is from before I was there (1999 onwards) although there are a couple of familiar faces.

Also, the earlier Banks chassis’ where finished in black (you could opt for different colours but the majority didn’t), during the time I was there (and to present day) they where finished in grey.
