Just bought a Europa

[garyeanderson]

I had a neighbor put in a brick walk and they dumped a bunch of sand and half of it never got used. The local kids knew what it was good for and played there until it was all spread out. I was walking home from school (1969 or 1970) and spotted something shinny in the dirt and I gave it a kick to loosen it up and one of these poped out of the sand. I also got a D type but I think it was from some where else.

That Europa is especially good since it's painted Colorado Orange (hint: look at the avatar of my Elan to the left... ).

I think my Europa handles better than my Elise......ZERO body roll.

Looking at the back of the Viper I also saw a checklist indicating that along with the Evora there should also be a Matchbox Exige, but I didn't find one.

Sellers remorse - after 3 years sitting with no use I moved it on to another owner.

Well I went back to target and picked up the Evora. And a Tesla Roadster while I was there. Oddly enough, they look remarkably similar. No Matchbox or Hotwheels Exige in sight. Though I did see last year's Hotwheels M250.

What a great ride. If Europa looked that good I would have never sold mine. That is how an Europa should look.

That is one of the nicest I have seen.

You guys are lucky in USA & UK to have all the collection car as you wish.

It is almost noway to have collection car running on HK's road unless you have a test drive premit. And it is very hard to apply one nowadays.

Where are the turn signals on that white one?

That photo isn't from atlanta, is it?

I always liked the Europa.
One of the first ones I saw was one of the higher power twincams.
It was owned by a young girl, and not her only fast car.
