74 Zetec Europa For Sale

I HATE to do this....but situations force sale of either my 1974 Europa or the Elise.... ( the Elise won )...so, here goes... the short list:
2.0 liter Zetec crate engine --0 miles.... Estimated at 240 HP by the engine builder ( SRE Race Engines )
Crower stage 2 race cams
Ported / Polished pulling 260 CFM through the head
Alloy pulleys throughout the engine with unothodox racing alloy flywheel
oversize stainless steel valves
ARP rod bolts
Ceramic coated headers
2 inch stainless steel custom exhaust
oversized rear sway bar ( 1 inch )
new elec fuel pump
stainless steel fuel lines with drains
drains installed for coolant lines
Disc brake conversion--all 4 wheels--- 10- 1/2 inch Wilwood vented racing brakes ( I think they're 4 piston )
15 inch tire / wheels conversion all around
Wheels: Konig Helium weight: 10 pounds each.
Tires: BFGoodrich G Force radials.... ( drag radials on the rear ) ( I will update with sizes )
Transmission: 5 speed NG-3 from a 1983 Fuego Turbo ( 8000 miles on the trans )
New Weber 45 DCOE Carbs with custom intake.
Both gas tanks have been rebuilt to new specs.
shifter is from a Toyota MR2; all cable conversion to the trans...no tubes
new battery
I'm sure there is more for this list; but it can be added later....
ALL the old Europa parts ( with the exception of the twincam engine-which was sold ) go with the car.
ALL the stock Zetec parts go with the car.
Car is not on the road yet.... it does need some minor finish work......... I need to recoup some of my parts money at least. I need to get about $ 18,000 for this car.....and is not open to much discussion after that....Needless to say as with any project I have MUCH MUCH more than that into it. PICS to follow:

It was my search for a NICE old Europa that led me to purchase an 'o7 Elise! Alas, you have reawakened the monster.
Are you sure you really want to sell it?

Well, I don't REALLY want to sell it, but have to.... in my opinion, it handles better than the Elise, and when it's tweaked it'll be much quicker... power to weight ratio of a Viper, or better.

I don't need to tinker anymore... it's nice to just come home from work, push the button & go driving.

She's home again !...... the sound of the engine is unbelievable ....so much different from when it wasn't running right. Still sounds like a V-8 ! but a (little ) quieter.....starts right up tho !

Well, Matt... when you have almost $ 46,000 sitting there looking in your face and you can't even get 18 K for the parts you put into it, all I want to do is get rid of one of the worst investments I've ever made. It's a great car, and it sounds amazing, but I don't want to have anything more to do with it.

That's just the way it is....was always like that... ...nothing really needs to be done...AutoEurope was driving it around when I got it back after they got some problems fixed ( alternator rebuilt---was a brand new one that got shorted out by the guys who did the engine swap ) ( who will remain nameless; but their initials are bsm ) They also got the carbs set up & richened, new throttle linkage / cables ( that was also screwed up by previous initials ) So, was running good when I got it back; I just never got insurance on it. I have well over 45,000 invested, just looking for the money I put into parts. This car handles as good or better than the Elise.
