Which one do you best like?

[ratholderen]

: Now is the green EUROPA arrived, and I will ask which one do you best like :o

[PDH]

It's the green one for me.  Much more like a Claas as I remember them.

[Tractorman810]

i would say green, as pdh said more what i remember seeing round even if i dont remember seeing a europa before

[ratholderen]

: The first one I drove was a silver MERCUR with WV engine :o

Same for me sadly... the Green is the colour I only remember seeing here... and wasn't that a matador

Was that the new Claas book for about ?26 was thinking of getting that as my Xmas pressie :D

[powerrabbit]

To my mind they are both equally as good, afterall, they are both the same model but in diferent liveries.

The silver has the edge as this was the original Claas colour with the red elements like the decals etc and I was always pretty sure that the green livery came with the first Matadors. Unsure at present as to wheather I will get a green Europa might wait to see what the UH Matador is like when it is finally released.  \
