    Hi, Mateusz;

    The 250 Europa had a wheelbase of 2800mm (110 inches).
    The 250 Europa GT had a wheelbase of 2600mm (102 inches).

    From a road test of a 250 Europa GT in Sports Cars Illustrated, January 1958, I can give you these dimensions:

    Length: 175.5"
    Width: 66"
    Height: 54"
    Front track: 53.2"
    Rear track: 53.0"
    Weight: 2880 pounds (with full fuel tank of 31.7 gallons!)
    Top speed: 127 MPH
    Fuel consumption: 9.4 - 13.2 MPG

    I'll check later to see if I can find dimensions for a LWB Europa.

    The tires on the car tested in the old magazine are 6.00 x 16 - it does not list the brand, but they are probably Engleberts.

    Probably all you would need is one of those Lamperedi cylinder pullers. I wonder who has one of those?
