I was thinking the same. Might fly down and drive it up the coast to Canada. Wait, that's likely not essential business so I'll have to pass!

Anyone else notice there are 2 different Europas pictured too.  One Yellow one with racing strips and one dark coloured one with primer...  So which one just needs a battery.  Seems a bit odd.

If you look closely at the first picture you can see some of the yellow paint on the edges of the front bonnet and door opening. Call it a cheap paint job.

I think this is #541762

I recall it being listed a few months ago without pictures, but it did list the chassis number in the other ad.

Photos from 2006:

Yellow with green stripe, tan interior, whatever is going on with the door handles, fender flares. I think it's the same car.

I just realized the battery terminals are the same too, definitely the same car.

Thanks for the forum welcome! More of a lurker obviously.
