I owned a 1973 Europa Series II (Renault 1600 engine & tranny) many years ago. I guess it was about 7 years old when I bought it, and had been owned by a USAF jet jockey since new, as a third car.

Well, it was fun for a while, but in actuality, compared to any Porsche, it is an overpriced, hard to repair, expensive to buy parts for, P O S.

I ended up donating mine to the local High School auto shop for the tax write off, giviing me a better ROI than either keeping it or selling it would have done for those costly three years of ownership.

Porsche, there is no substitute. Really. No kidding. Truth in advertising.
