Title: 1971 Europa (big project) NMNA
Post by: s2europa on Monday,August 27, 2018, 07:38:47 AM

Found in Craigslist near Seattle. Not mine. Looks like a big project. Kind of a mess. Judge for yourself.

Very sad car. After spending heaps of time and money, unless it is returned back to original condition, it is not going to have much re-sale value.

Is it an S2 with a TC rear body?

There are plenty of easier restoration cars to be found.

I think it’s all S2, but they cut down the rear sails and glassed in part of the rear deck lid. The roof panel needs to be glassed back in, and I doubt they have that. No pictures of the engine/engine bay, so who knows what has been done in there. Might be s good project at about $2000, but even then it would be a labor of love.
