    Hello, I just joined the club

    My name is Graham and I'm in the North-West, close to Blackpool.
    I've been a fan of the Stratos (Strato's ? not sure on forum etiquette re the apostrophe) since the late 80's and always planned to build my own.
    After many years of "not getting around to it", a couple of years ago I read an article about the ListerBell car, a lot of emails and a few visits later and I'm hoping to have my "factory-built" ListerBell STR on the road very soon.
    As I was always a fan of the road car first I've gone for a Stradale replica.
    Since almost every internet search for useful Stratos-related info leads to these forums, I thought it was about time I joined.

    Welcome to the madhouse! A Lister Bell Stradale - that'll be a rare beastie! Not so many of us in the North West these days...

    Welcome.

    How did you manage to get a factory built one? When I first went to LB that's what I wanted but I left having agreed to build it myself somehow!

    Is you car currently in build? If so I've probably seen it at LB. I'm there again this week - prob Wed.

    I think Craig and Lydia took pity on me - yes it's in build, last photos I saw had bodywork fitted and trim mostly done. If there is a car that looks like a red stradale there's a good chance its mine (although someone else is building another LB that looks like its twin !)

    Welcome along! I'm also a Northerner and am currently waiting for my chassis to be built. My car will also be a Stradale, but lime green. Much more stylish than all these boy racers with their wide wheels and arches

    .....and much more practical in those Manchester traffic jams, eh Richard?!

    Welcome along Graham. Potentially quite a few new cars in the North-West over the next year or two then?
    Richard, Norm and myself even aswell as your own.
    Am I forgetting anyone else? I'm just on the verge of pouring an Epoxy floor in my new garage and then I can retrieve my LB prototype from storage and get on with it at long last.
    I'm guessing the other red LB Stradale will be Pauls in NZ?

    I don't know, photos were posted on the ListerBell facebook page back in Feb 2016 after body fit.

    It certainly seemed like Stradales are under-represented at any event I've attended - maybe that's starting to change though if there are a few in build
