I'm think that Crown Royal shifter boot is classy...they work for storing fishing reels too!
-
The wheels and the ashtray are the best parts of that car!
It will make a good project for someone!

Its interesting, I can understand why the carpet, muffler, air cleaner, clutch assembly, rear portion of trans shift linkage and brake booster would be missing - but not the flywheel.... :confused: It originally was perhaps dismantled for a clutch change, (gearbox put back in later to enable it to be moved.), but why would you remove the flywheel...??
-
but why would you remove the flywheel...??
To reface the surface where a worn clutch plate had scored the face.
To change a leaky oil seal behind the flywheel.

Not bad price for someone who knows Europas. Here I thought Crown Royal bags were only used for storing Scrabble tiles.

And my wife's dads ashes!

Well there is one brave bidder, hopefully he read that it needs windscreen, engine, gearbox...etc

:I-agree: But he's probably the guy that is still refacing the flywheel...... :))

Engine and gearbox are present, I would not be afraid of this car.
Not too far away either.

Richard, you have to go see it, if you’re so close. I past up a s2for 1600 and now can kick myself, only because I didn’t want to part it out , hell just take the ashtray and wheels and resell.

Not Too far away to collect after purchase, but at around nine-hundred miles round trip not close enough for a casual visit either. :))

I had to google 'Crown Royal' as I had no idea what it is.
It would appear that they manufacture a range of gear stick gaiters / shifter boots in a limited range of colours, here's a couple of links:

Looks like an honest car to me. They're not pretending that a lick of paint and an oil change will get it back one the road -- like so many do. It basically needs everything; though, perhaps, the chassis is useable.
We used to say there were only two kinds of Big Healeys, one that just had $35K spent on it, or, one that needed $35K spent on it. Given that was 15 years ago, I guess it should be revised to $60K (or more).
Europas are now getting to be in the same situation. Not many good drivers around anymore. The upkeep require to keep them that way got to be too much and they were parked. Or worse, restorations "started". They either have just had a poop-load of work done, or they need it.

Agreed.

Sold $5500.00 USD.

Sold just hours before I obtained the funds to bid. :headbanger:
Might be for the best, I'm supposed to be working on my S2 rather than buying more.
