    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?

    And what about the rest? My notes on this car have it scattered all over the place with much of it MIA. If you have updated info, please drop me an email!
