Hi All

Just seen this posted on the LMC forum and thought it may be of interest.

No idea if current or old listing on website, but maybe interesting to some of you.

Hello Peter,

The same car appears on Custom cages website from when it must have had its cage fitted. See http://www.customcages.co.uk/Rollcage/LoadRollCage.castle?manufacturer=Lancia&model=Stratos&type=Historic.

Somebody more informed than I will be along shortly to tell us whose, when & where?

Cheers

Craig

It's ex Ian Giles (Dino Services).

Hi CJ and all

I also believe that this car has been prepared in the past by ZUL Racing over at Derby in the 1990's..... there was a small article on local TV and they showed the owner driving it round Donnington Park.

Hi Phil,

Yes, it's been around for a good while.

I really don't like those rear roll hoop supports on the Custom Cage.
It's sacrilege.

I can understand wanting a cage inside the cockpit, but those double roll hoop rear supports are a step too far. It would be better just relying on the original two roll hoop rear supports alone, if that's possible? What's Steve Perez's car like in this area?

Here's Steve Perez's car (http://www.btrprep.com/images/dmImage/sourceImage/NewBTRspecbagtankLH.jpg).

'Don't know what you're supposed to do about the rear window with that Custom Cage on the yellow car?

Design of that cage looks utter shite. B posts have loads of curve in them, sections over the door tops are right where your head is. They should have cut the roof off and done it right.

Have to agree looks like a rubbish installation with no thought for driver seat fit. Not pretty!
