Title: 54/2885
Post by: BobW on Friday,March 16, 2018, 10:39:05 AM

A few photos to help introduce the car. In the beginning, photos were small and black-and-white. The upper picture in this image is from 1971. The lower two are from the car's sweet 16th birthday party, so 1986.

This image is from an Atlantic Sports Car Club (any members here?) display in the late 70's. I like the Europa's overhead views.

An interior photo, I'm guessing from the 1980's by the shift knob and the fade in the interior carpets. I've re-dyed the carpets twice and am headed for a third time.

This image is from 2008. There's not been much change since then :)

Bob your car looks great.  Nice to see a survivor out there.  I am not too far away from you on the mainland!
