Same applies to me. I only saw two cars in real life yet, none of it on the street..

The first one at a classic cars show in Stuttgart (Retro Classics) several years ago.
I can still remember how impressed and excited I was at how small and unique it looked.

The other one was at the Dutch Lotus dealer where I bought my Elise from. This time I only had eyes for my new car

Hi there,

nice to read about a growing community in NRW, Germany. I'm from Duisburg, thus we're almost neighbours. It's funny that we are similar age (I'm 30) and share the same profession, Raphael. I'm also industrial engineer.

I have a Europa S2 from 1969, which used to have a historic road registration, but since 2011 is only used for vintage racing. Thus, I'm quite experienced with most of the technical aspects of the car. But I'm not an expert on originality, as my car is heavily modified.

Maybe we'll meet sooner or later.

Best regards
Stefan

Hello Stefan,

nice to hear from you. Now there are already three of us (you, Rainer and me). Are you two already in contact with each other?
As soon as it becomes more concrete from my side, I will probably contact you separately if that is okay.

Regards
Raphael

Hi Raphael,

no, I'm not in touch with Rainer, yet. But that may be, because I did not visit this forum frequently over recent months.

Feel free to contact me. If I'm not in this forum, it's easiest via Instagram.

Best regards Stefan
