Hi
I wonder if someone can send me the detailed specifications of the space saver wheel which unfortunately is missing, so I can track down something similar to replace it.
Thanks in advance for the help

:Welcome: John!!
Europa did not come with a space saver spare. The spare for the Specials with alloy wheels was an alloy wheel with a front tire (175/70-13) mounted.

Welcome John,
As BDA stated...
A full size spare was supplied w/alloy wheel & 175/70/13 tire for all specials.

"bag of meat!" I resemble that remark!
It's a tough job but somebody has to do it!

Thanks for the info and the photo of the under bonnet arrangement.

S2s had a 4.5j x 13 steel wheel fitted in the front which takes a little time to get it out, I used to let the air out of it to fit it & carried an electric pump.
