I bought a 72 TC that's under restoration
The I bought a 05 Elise in titanium
Then another 05 in canyon red
Then 2 more Europa TC Tawney 73
White 74
It's the way it makes you feel in it driving it

You do have it bad!


Speaking of the Elise, I got in one for the first time a while ago. The hard top was on and I almost couldn't get in and after I got in, I almost couldn't get out!

More difficult than a Europa?

I have never sat in an Elise but I have heard that they are less comfortable than the Europa for long drives.

Much more difficult than a Europa! It seemed fine once I got in,but I didn't ride in it at all so I can't judge how comfortable or uncomfortable it might be on a trip. I think the Europa is pretty comfortable on a trip. It's certainly not a cruiser but for what it is it's pretty good on a trip IMHO.

Before the Europa, i had an Elise S2... i think the first one is little bit more comfortable. I was surprised how similar they are in everything.

Having sat in a Europa for the first time a couple of days ago, I would agree that it is easier to into than an Elise even though the Europa is shorter.

similarities???

That's a nice set, Ted.

Wow! Thanks for the side by side comparison, Ted. A Nice Pair!! (cue the Pink Floyd reference now). Never seen them side by side before - a lot closer in size than I would have thought. I echo BDA's comments concerning Elise ingress & egress - I found it difficult too.
Now getting into and out of a Evora...
