 :Welcome: Europadw!!
I guess I should be disappointed that a US Europa is leaving the US going to the UK and being converted to Right Hand Drive (gasp!), but every Europa restored is a great thing! Congratulations on your new baby and keep us up to date on the progress of her restoration!

Where in the UK are you, and what is the chassis number.

A 72 TCS is a rare creature.

My 72 TC is 2520R.
