Back again on eBay. Been a while since last time. Clearly everyone has their own taste. Not my cup of tea. Do this to my car, and I promise I will hurt you.

A few notes: includes at least 23 stickers all over it not counting hood graphic wrap, window regulators gone, speedo and fuel gauge not functional, Mikuni carb conversion on Stromberg head. I did not see where ad identified it as 4 speed, but rear trans mount says so. Reserve auction sale.

Yeah, it's a bit shouty for my taste. Bonnet mural is an interesting tribute, but I'd prefer it hanging on my garage wall than my Europa.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

Just keeps coming back. Lost count how many times. What it needs is maybe more cowbell, but definitely not more stickers.
Ad claims it is "Original One owner Car , stored in my shop for over 12 years,", but Registry notes state, "This Europa is in very nice condition and it is evident that previous owners devoted significant attention in maintaining and preserving this car." Go figure: Even if a second owner never recorded the title change or registered for road use, it is still not a one owner car unless you are a genuine used car dealer lot. In which case you wouldn't be keeping cars up for sale for over a decade and still be in business.

At least it has a closure plate. ;)
