Looks like a great car! It has a new dash but for the very most part, it’s very stock. It will be interesting to see what it sells for.

This car is listed in the Europa central registry....

ps...Check out the BAT photos, I don't like where they lifted the car in the rear!

Yeah, someone commented about that. It shows a certain lack of understanding for the car, doesn't it?

It has certainly been a well discussed auction.  127 comments with a few hours to go.

Had great time watching the final 15 minutes...

And the winner (Overstreet) bid $33,500. Congrats!


ps...I still think Certified's Europa, far out classed this one.

 :I-agree: Certified's  was essentially brand new though. I thought this was among the nicest on BaT and was expecting it to go for a bit more.

Me too, but I think just about everyone on the site was more invested in Certified's build!  Even though I came late to the game I know I was. It was this site, and all the support for members by the members, that convinced me to buy mine.

Nice to see Europas getting this kind of money. Certified's did out class this one and I'd say mine does too. I may be biased though haha.
