Else Europa video (nordic language)

It's 22.5 minutes long and in Swedish (?).  Lots of good footage.  Too bad he fitted a crossflow, though he still has the original engine and Else pieces.

Very nice JB. Thanks. It’s THE Else Europa from the period Autocar report and the Robinshaw book. Great to see the close up of the Else badge.

Thanks JB,

I had watched the video at the weekend but I will watch it again now!
(great to know that such a well-known car has survived!)

I’ve been in contact with the owner. Very nice chap. I’m trying to persuade him to join here. It was Steve Jarvis’ car. I asked him if there were any special marks on the cam shaft that would identify it as an Else one. He kindly sent me some photos. One has 151 PE and the other is 030 F03.

Hi! The “chap” from Sweden with the Else is now on the forum. The reason why the car is fitted with the cross flow is that the Else motor needs overhauling. A well known problem with the Else motor is that one of the cylinders don’t get enough fuel and that happened to my motor. The cross  flow is a “ beast”  made by a 90 year old Gordini Guru and delivers 170 Bhp at 8000 rpm so it moves! Please ask me some questions about the car if you want to I’m new on the forum and would like to know you all!

Regards
Jakob

Jacke!! It's nice to have the owner of a "famous" car on here! I know we'd all love to see more pictures of your baby!

Hello Jakob!

[Jacke]

I didn’t know the car was famous? I wish you all could Swedish so you understood the video posted on YouTube but maybe it will get subtitles. I’m speaking of the cars history and how it came to Sweden and then we went for a drive. I didn’t want to rew 8000rpm because I have an issue with the electric fuel pump who is disturbing the tachometer when it’s pumping fuel but we are moving pretty good in the video but you should be aware of the moose’s when you’re driving a Europa in Sweden;)

[jbcollier]

Surely you'd go right under any moose?

;-)

[Jacke]

I would think so to even if the Swedish are smaller than the Canadian moose!

Yet another  Jacke!
Beautiful car. We'd love to know more.

  That is one stunning looking Europa you have.  I love a yellow Europa but with the black I think it adds a lot.  That cross flow motor sounds like it would be a lot of fun in an S2 and surprise the Twin Cam guys.

Hi Jakob,

I’m so glad you joined. I was contacted by another Else owner from your YouTube video! Hopefully he will join as well. Thanks for the photos you sent me.
