The ABFM was a great day!  So many nice cars and a really nice representation of Europas.  Pekka your car is a fantastic survivor!  I love seeing cars that are not restored participating.

1969 Europa S2
1970 Lotus Elan +2
1978 Austin Mini - 1275, big brakes
1991 Ford Explorer - Lifted on 33s, custom lift and radius arms

The more the merrier. I bet if we had six at the show we’d set some sort of record.
Especially 6 running Europas!

thanks Rosco I was just so happy to make the show. Shiny or not it is such a fun driving car. The most I’ve seen at a British show is 2 or 3 at a Vancouver Island event however I don’t recall seeing them as a child or young adult at the shows. Maybe more have come out of hiding...

Here’s when we first got it and then the day before the show. I did the best I could with the old paint.
