How much more was a Europa at the time? I never really thought about the pricing of these cars when they were new in relation to each other as I was not in a position to buy them....because I didn't exist :)

[WayneB]

The Elan S2 ,Elan +2 and the Europa were all availible in Pistachio Lime Green.:)
