The Opel GT that might have been.

The Bizzarrini Europa 1900. An Opel in-head cam 4cyl in a pint sized version of the Bizz Strada 5300. Much better proportions in my view than the 5300. Very rare and beautiful. Note the way the doors and the glazing wrap into the roof. This is a car for the under 5'10" folk.

The way the door wraps into the roof is pretty slick. That would add a touch of the 'airy' without loosing as much strength as a larger removable t-top panel... slick.

Looks 'meaner' or more 'serious' than the Opel GT in my opinion.

Opel GTs are one of my first loves. Beautiful body lines. Some lady took mine out.

Oh, Lord...

what a shame. It was beautiful. One of my favorites too. Maybe in the top 5 'want one' list.

yep, broke my heart, this is as I got it from PO and while I probably wouldn't have done the fender flares, it looked pretty nice, I did a ton of work on it and was driving it quite a bit, working on slot mag wheels and body paint touch it, it was a honey, not fast, not really good handling, no where near the performance of even my lowly powered X, but very pretty and very fun. Oh, the pain.
