To Clarify:
The S1 Esprit was not built on a stretched Europa chassis. It had its own dedicated uniquely design chassis. However, the Esprit design does have a Europa origin. The original Guigaro design concept - known as the Silver Car - was in fact built on a stretched Europa chassis. Apparently after Chapman saw the Italdesign Boomerang Concept he was taken enough with the design to consider something similar for the upcoming Esprit. Some discussion with Guigaro ensued and a Europa cahssis was modified to fit the platform of the Esprit and it was shipped off to Italdesign for the build.
