S1 Europa Project in Reno NV

[skippopotamus]

Any clue of racing history, and if so, by whom and where?
Flares seem extreme for a street car.

I don't have any history on the car. 
The flares are egregious but so is the purple and the pin striping.  It all fits a car that was modified in the 70's.

I love the purple. The pin striping not so much....

As this is an early S1 Europa the chassis number is quite interesting. You'll find the number on the right chassis leg as a faint stamped number, it's not easy to spot. The location is near the coolant tube fixing hole and the welded on bracket that holds the seat belt strut.

The listing seems to have gone now. When are you collecting it Chuck?

[Chuck Nukem]

Not me 


I did the next best thing to keep the car in my orbit. I asked a friend of mine to buy it so I am no longer tempted! He lives in Colorado and is going to pick it up right now.

Is that what you told your partner so you don't have to explain? ...or are they just holding it for you?

Chuck, thank you for helping us get the Europa into the hands of someone who’ll do something with it. He’s on his way back now.

Nice! And for the second time...I dislike those flares!!

A lot of serial # and database talk in this thread so I’ll ask here: is there a way to edit the database entry? I have a car listed there and want to update status and change names. Thanks! Mark

I do plan to pull molds off of my S1A eventually, so I should have a way to help Will (the new owner) return the car to proper form.

Thank you Charles.  Helping to save another S1 is great. I hope the new owner can share his restoration journey.

Well done and congratulations Will!

Mark (RacerX),
You'll want to contact Dan Morrison, he's running the register these days.  He's on this board as s2europa.  Send him a PM and hopefully you can get your cars info updated.
