How to Turn A Lancia Stratos Around.

[Elliott653]

No garage queen, this original Lancia Stratos needs to return whence it came.

What a fabulous noise!. I want one. Could do with louder pipes though! A very cool car with a very cool driver.

That is how you do it, i bet there are not many left now.

 

[Elliott653]

There's very, very few road going cars left competing. Most are stuck in some rich man's collection.

Nice to see one being abused in such a cavalier fashion. Top (rich) bloke.

Very nice indeed!

My dream car but at £100,000 I'll be waiting a while.

And they will only increase in value Peter.

What a car....My Father bought me a model of this car when I was 6 ....... Love it and a true classic...

 

[GransportFan1]

it is one of the most iconic cars ever made, if you dont like or lust after these, your not a true car fan IMO.

[GransportFan1]

Well, turn away now, Adam. Here's my Hawk Stradale replica.

Fitted with an Alfa three litre V6, producing 235 BHP. This photo was taken at the 2011 Pistonheads Show.

That is awesome, never knew you owned that, i was at Pistonheads this year, had a good look at your Stratos, like the CLK DTM parked in front of it.

 

[Elliott653]

Thanks. There was some serious metal (and plastic ) on the PN stand this year. What about the Mosler? It was a bit surreal to see my little kit car amongst so much motoring exotica. Still, she didn't look out of place, I reckon.

 

[GransportFan1]

Never seen a Mosler before, thought it looked fantastic, looks like a GT1 car for the road.


You use the Stratos much Elliott?

 

[Elliott653]

Funnily enough Adam, since I got the 4200, I seem to have used the Hawk less.

Though, when I drive her it's a totally immersive experience. Every sense is fully engaged.

 

[GransportFan1]

i bet the reaction you get from passers by when driving it is priceless.

 

[Elliott653]

Most of them probably think it's a TR7...........

how very dare they
