It might be silly to give a blow by blow of every bid, and I don't intend to do that here, but I'm struck that with almost five days to go on the auction, the bid is at $34,567! This is shaping up to be an extraordinary auction! The last Europa sale was the highest price ever on BaT at $41,355. There's plenty of time to get way beyond that!

Good luck and congratulations to Certified!  :beerchug:

And during Super Bowl half time no less!

I give a lot of credit to all of you for your support and very kind comments on the BAT site. Thank you!

I’ve got some big money invested in this car. My time is free. Let’s see where the auction ends up.

Glen,
I'm sure every Europa owner here knows...

The efforts of your restoration will benefit us all. Thanks, ld

Certified as many have said before but I feel I should reiterate, that you built a beautiful Europa that I hope will go on to a collection that will survive the ages.  Some cars have a life of being used but with all your effort it would be nice to see it used and preserved for generations to come. GLWTA, I wish I were bidding but 3 would be too many for me.
1974 Europa Special
1969 Europa S2
1970 Lotus Elan +2
1978 Austin Mini - 1275, big brakes
1991 Ford Explorer - Lifted on 33s, custom lift and radius arms
2005 Chrysler 300C - chipped, lowered 22s
2011 Cadillac Escalade - Stage 3 cam, Headers, CAI, 2,600 stall converter

In case you haven't checked out bringatrailer.com, Certified's car didn't sell as the bid didn't meet the reserve.

That was a disappointment! Better luck next time, Certified.

Thanks BDA. I was a little surprised it didn’t go above $35K. But no worries as I’m not in a rush. The right buyer will come along as there are very few Europa’s in this condition. Thanks again for everyone’s support!

On the other hand, you may just have to live with the shame of owning and driving a beautiful Europa!
