Hi folks,
Ok, this isn't Ebay or Craigslist, and as it's in the UK I doubt anyone will be seriously interested in this one, but it caught my eye recently mainly on account of the mods that's been done. Personally I wouldn't go this route, but I know many of you guys are into the mod scene, so it might give you a few ideas.....

Wow! That thing looks like a pile of fun. Still retains the Twin Cam mill, too. Cool.

I'm guessing it is an Elan engine :confused:

I think you're right Joe. Hillclimb events here are quite short things, the one just up the road from where we used to live was only about 1/2 mile long and was all over in seconds. I think you had 3 shots at the hill to get your best time, so you could easily start with a booster battery and run just on the car battery for the event. The Europa is a strange one for hillclimbs though, back when we used to go the top runners were usually Westfields or similar kit cars (Lotus 7 copies)
