Title: GKN Europa
Post by: kram350kram on Tuesday,January 24, 2023, 08:09:44 PM

Anyone have pictures of the GKN Europa. Looking for some quality shots of engine compartment and interior. Also, was the cars wheel base lengthen over a standard Europa? Thanks

I don't have any electronic photos of the car, but its wheelbase was lengthened. Info varies from one source to another, but it looks like a 2 - 2.5 inch increase..

I ‘think’ it’s owned by Ben Levy of Andover Mass, try and contact him and go look at it.

Here you go. I don't have any interior shots, was only interested in the engine/transaxle bay (sorry).

That’s quite a cradle around the engine.
