Anybody know about the Pirelli Stratos in the background, or where the pic is from?

[Guy Mayers]

Suspect it's John and Carols! The car in the middle is Mick Worral's Alfa V6 mid engined car, behind the Pirelli car is Lawrence Clift's Integrale. The Stratos is RHD judging by the wiper park position but it's not mine! No windscreen stickers or roof aerial.

Another project car I have in the pipe line for when I eventually finish my car. It would look good in Alitalia colours.
