1970S2 Update
« on: Friday,September 23, 2022, 10:58:19 AM »
I was fortunate enough to stop in on 1970 S2 "AKA Angelo" on my way to Cornwall, Ontario. He has asked me to share his rebuild adventure. He has installed his Gordini inspired engine in the chassis. Thinking it is around 135hp. Sounds awesome. The picture does not do the incredible machining justice. The other pictures show his Europa renovation distraction.

 Okay  Sandy I see the distraction. Beautiful by any means. I wish him luck with it.
    The 135 hp rebuilt is a distraction I want to see more of . Please send more pics and info soon.

I will be heading in that direction for Canadian Thanksgiving. I will ask if I can drop in if there is more progress.

I stopped in on Angelo (1970S2) over the Canadian thanksgiving weekend. He is finished with the engine/chassis restoration. He will start on the body work over the winter. The blue parts Europa Has to much damage to restore. It is destined to become an art installation.

That’s shaping up to be one fine Europa.  :trophy:
