Title: Some odd Europas are coming out of the woodwork
Post by: surfguitar58 on Thursday,September 03, 2020, 02:59:30 PM
No affiliation.

Is that a Hewland transaxle fitted to that Vtec? Gated shifter?

It doesn't look like a Hewland but I can't tell much about it.

That engine swais unusual and interesting. I would have liked more pictures.

Going by the alloy 'gate shift' pattern, it looks like he didn't figure out the linkages properly.
