  1. Large radiator on the right side of the front overhang. The electric fan is double equipment connected. An air conditioning condenser is between the fan and radiator.
  2. This is the reported air conditioning. (Better called a cooler) it is next to the radiator. It is made by Clayton in England. The cold air goes through the front trunk and blows in the cockpit's side duct.
  3. A big difference with the first car, introduced in "Tippo", is that the air loss cart has been removed. The air power decreases but personally, I like it this way because the peculiar beauty of Europa stands out
  4. Both the front and rear wheel are 15*6JJ performance made. The front tyre is 185 55 K15 81V and the rear tyre is 195 50 R15 82V. Both the tyres are made in Korea by Hankook.
  5. The interior is made from a combination of leather and artificial leather. The finish is not that good, but the feel of the material is quite good. By the way, the side window is fixed but can be titled 2 to 3 cm
  6. To keep the driver safe when the car turns over, quite a thick roll bar is fitted at the back of the cockpit.
  7. The engine is 2,000cc twin cam Vauxhall. By reconsidering the intake and the exhaust system a power of 200ps is accomplished.
  8. The transmission has a final drive of 3.77, the 5 speed new Renault (NG type). This Renault is used in the other old Europas.
  9. This is the whole view of the cockpit. The touch of leather and artificial leather is good but the plastic like dash panel is not that good. Steering is Mountony GT.
  10. This is the control panel of the centre console. From the top right is the light switch, A/C, fan control, and on the bottom left is the washer liquid.
  11. The main computer which works the fuel jet is made by MBE. The idling was not steady this time, but can be adjusted by rewriting the ROM.
  12. The 4 connected slot body of the Luminition body has as good response and noise as the carburetor. Fuel jet is by the Bosch. The jet is decided by the information picked out from each operation.
