[Strat Fan]

Mick W's second build.

[STR_Strat]

Now owned by Mervyn Beasley (Ministingray) based in Bicester

The Stradale replica seats in that car were originally fitted new in Geoff Turton's lime green Hawk Stradale.
They were in beige 'inside out' leather/suede, then Ken Tomblin had them, but didn't use them.
I bought them from Ken, and had them re-trimmed in blue faux Alcantara at SmartRRRs in York, but didn't use them.
Then Mick W. bought them and fitted them to his yellow Hawk build.

On the face of it - seems like good value! (I obviously havent seen the build quality). It would be a nice project for someone and a quick way to get a car on the road !!.

It's not for sale at £25k.
'Reserve not met'.

I'd say at least £35k.
It is an old 'Spyder' Hawk/Transformer (threepenny bit curved chassis legs etc.).
The paint job will be the very best ('Paramount').

Listing has ended early with no bids. I wonder if it found a new owner through other means?

I'd love to know what he paid for it!

[LPH_UK]

I'd love to know what he paid for it!

Considerably less than £60k I reckon!

How many have ended up at THT now?

[john]

A good few. It must be working for him.

[Stratos Fear]

THT - He knows his market (he appears at all the big motorshows including the 2 big Goodwood events) and his clientele are the really rich folk , petrol heads but not necessarily the dyed-in-the wool Stratos enthusiasts . I reckon - if he can sell at £60k - he will almost double his money.

Well, WE all know that buying a built kit is something that has to be approached with caution and much research. Every one is different - features, add-ons, build quality etc. But those who don't know, or don't consider, any of this only see "Lancia Stratos" or "AC Cobra" or whatever, see the shiny stuff, and buy based upon that and the fact that they're paying a fraction of the price of the genuine article. They'll probably be quite happy given they won't do many miles in it (they'll have a few other cars) and will make all sorts of allowances for awkward seating, various quirks and all that on the basis that it's a low-volume special.... so I guess if people are prepared to pay that, then fair enough. Far too salty for me though!

Saw a post on FB of this car at the London Classic Car Show with SOLD in its windscreen.

[renmure]

Not surprised. Seemed a bargain to me. I'm going to advertise mine at double that..... when I eventually get it.

This advert now removed.
Tim H. said the car looked to be marked as sold at the London show?

Tim H. said the car looked to be marked as sold at the London show?
correct. That whas what I was advised by a Lancia friend who was at the show. It was indicating Sold on the first day.

[Lancialulu]

Still for sale....

https://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/lancia/stratos/294460

Was emailed that it will be a resto show this weekend (I am going tomorrow)..

[The Slug]

It may be sold, If so I'm sure you will hear about it on here.

[ah_sprite]

There was a post on the SEC Facebook page saying a chap had bought it, but I'm led to believe that the sale fell through so it appeared back on the market.
