Anyone from the forum?? The USA is a big place, any hints on where it might be headed?

I am pleased to say that this is destined for my garage here in Michigan. It took me about 9 years to finally pull the plug on a kit, but from everything I have seen and heard about LB I think I am in good hands. Thanks Craig. Fingers crossed everything lands well. Once it gets here work should be commencing pretty furiously.

Excellent news - best of luck with the build - the anticipation must be building already! I know in my case I was looking at the position of the boat as it crossed the Atlantic a couple of times a day. Keep us posted when it arrives

Excellent, bet you can't wait. Mine should be here in a few months, (allowing for just over a month on the ship) if it was closer I'd say lets have a race to see who's is finished first.

Good luck with the build, let me know if you need any help, pictures etc.

I can't wait and I am sure I will be needing more help. Thanks for the offer. Paul, how did you track your shipment? I probably don't have that service.

All ships carry transponders and can be tracked - you'd need to know what ship it is on!

Not shipped yet, but I've just had an update from Craig with some pictures, there are a few bits and pieces to finish off. Sounds like it'll only be a couple of months.

Bosman, great choice, the difference between your kit and the one that I have (not a Lister-Bell) is that you kit is "Some assembly required", my kit is "Lots of assembly required, major modification requires, some redesign required, major body modifications required."

In my case that info was all in a document included in the export paperwork - the one with the detail ship info was called an IFS form (USA- importer security filing)

New to Stratos Enthusiast Club and looking for members nearby


Bosmass;
Hi, I'm new to this Club, (new to this whole forum thing actually). Your Posting "Lister Bell Kit on Way to USA" actually pulled me here. I'm very interested in the Lancia Stratos but have never seen one in person, not even a kit. I am located north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and my wife's family lives in Windsor so you are not that far away. First of all, I think it's awesome that you are building one. I hope to do that too one day. Have you documented it with a build diary somewhere? I would love to see some pictures. Are there any other builders near us? Anyway I hope to hear back from you. Thanks, in advance.
