Europa Int'l History

Russ Leabch has a new website, and there is a history page there. It makes for interesting reading for those of us who have a long history with Europa Int'l, as well as drive a Europa Int'l G. It also answers the question that has frequently been raised as to whether MBUSA bought out Europa Int'l's U.S. distribution rights. Here's the link:

Re: Europa Int'l History

A very nice summary indeed.
I believe that it was actually in 2003 that the turning indicator lights were added to the side mirrors.
Please correct me if I am in error, though.

Re: Europa Int'l History

My three year-old son refers to our G as "my jeeper". Something toy like about it I guess!
