Took the little girl to a track, she behaved well.
A few more tweaks and she is ready after a very very long rebuild

  Very cool Haico,
   I'm being hesitant in taking that step, Congratulations, your a Champ all ready.
Any mods done for racing? Pictures please.

Haico,
Is that the mermaid car?  I seem to recall it ended up somewhere in Europe.

Congrats and well done. She's a fine looking Europa. We'd love to see a couple more photos. Cheers.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

Is the Europa so petite or are all modern cars so extremely lardy?

Hello Haico,
that's a fantastic looking S1, I like it a lot. Which shade of blue did you use to paint the car? Looks like Wedgewood Blue to me. Would you mind sharing the chassis VIN? I'm maintaining a small registry with all surviving S1s and would love to add your car.
