G'day Ron, I'm in Melbourne and although I have been pleasantly surprised with the S2 ride quality I can't see myself driving it up to Sydney
Will be popping along to one of the LCV events in the future to see if I can cross paths with another Europa or two.
I can't take any credit for the specifications or current state of this one, all down to the previous owner along with some advice from Richard at Europa Engineering in the UK. The pictures are a little flattering in some aspects, the body was painted about 8-9 years ago and is showing some signs of the 44 years under the skin. Aside from that though it is pretty good and the chassis is better than new.
Spent some time on the throttle linkages and cable today and now have close to full throttle available.
My test run confirms that between the exhaust and 45mm Webers this thing sounds magnificent on full song.
My wife says it is more comfortable than my Smart Roadster (which is lowered 40mm on adjustable Bilsteins) and that she could nod off easily, I think that means she needs her hearing tested or ears unblocked.........
