That needs a fair amount of work done.

What happened to the petrol tanks? Two holes in the places the filler caps should be.

That car was previously in the US according to the registry.

It also looks like someone grafted a newer rear back half onto it. The Lancia tail lights would have been on that car originally.

I think they just filled in the rear grill area and fit the trailer lights.

Ridiculous price for the condition. No way this will be returned to original- even the doors are S2.

In Europe the prices are generally higher than in North America but even for Europe the price is ridiculous. The ad says that the chassis is good with the body still in place. As I always say: there is a dump person out there, you just need to find him. I would actually give half the money he is asking for it. There are a few dealers who try to sell projects and all of them are priced to high

Hi Nockenwelle,

the two cars that you linked look very good, the yellow car in particular!
(the chassis would still need to be inspected though....)

I forgot to mention the green Europa S1 located in Paris:

I've seen the car in person. Very original S1 with only minor modifications and original chassis. As far as I know currently the only near original early S1 on the market. If anybody needs more information please contact me via PM.
