[john]

The High Court case between Christian Hrabalek and his father over the ownership of four Stratos from the collection is being heard at the High Court in London at the moment. See Daily Telegraph yesterday.

Handed over mine to my son at Silverstone. Fortunately he gave it back....

Are they really worth £2.2 million - £550k each ?

[Bernard]

Who's name is on the log book ??????????????????

Thereby you will find the owner ?

One of them is the Silhouette car. I don't think you could put a value on that. Isn't another one a prototipo? Then a genuine (Munari?) Safari car.
I'd say potentially yes, they are probably worth that.
Whoever owns them, they are probably going to end up being sold to pay the brief......

That's the case in the UK... Not sure about the rest of the world. Only winners in this matter will be in the legal profession....

what happened to the other cars they used to own ??

[Guy Mayers]

Tuition fees Phil? Maybe Dad still has them but I was never sure how many they had in the first place!

I'm sure there was 21 Strato's in their collection ???????

[ProtoTipo]

These are the 4 cars (not the black 'thing'):
( here (http://www.autotraderclassics.com/images/a/cms/84328/84328.jpg) )

but there was also one blue, one yellow, one red, and a Pirelli rally car ( here (http://www.italiaspeed.com/2005/motor_show/geneva/preview/holistic/2802/350_2.jpg) )

[ProtoTipo]

Ignore the Zero, by the way.

[Bernard]

TopcarZone.com states that there were 11 cars in the Hrablek collection ?!?!

[john]

I remember photos of a very impressive collection outside a castle somewhere. Probably "Chez Hrabalek"?
But I seem to recall the photos were captioned "World Meet" or some such so you could not conclusively conclude that all those cars were Hrabalek family possesions.

That's right John.
'World Meet 2000'. Dave Watson was invited and did attend.
Even the 'buck' was there, and Classic and Sports Car did an article (September 2000 issue).

[john]

Maybe the photos were Dave's then and were on the Supersite. Lost now, perhaps, unless you have a copy CJ?

[tomsredstratos]

At the castle

Caption reads 'only the zero is not in the Hrabi collection'

I remember him telling me when we did the GP5 car for Goodwood there were 11 cars.

Tom.

[john]

Nice one Tom. Do you have the rest of that article? What was it published in?

[tomsredstratos]

Yes,will dig it out tomorrow.

[ProtoTipo]

Nice one Tom. Do you have the rest of that article? What was it published in?

I already said, two posts ago John!

[ProtoTipo]

and Classic and Sports Car did an article (September 2000 issue).

It says 'Classic and Sports Car' at the bottom of the image that Tom has posted.

[john]

I apologize unreservedly for having appalling eyesight.

I apologize unreservedly for being so pedantic.;)

Maybe I'll just put that as a strap line at the bottom?
