Hello! Trying to find my dads old car...

[Stratos Max]

Hi all,

I was pointed towards this forum from another that I use as I have managed to find some pictures of my fathers old car and would love to try and track it down...

Oh and the plate was taken off the car before it was sold, just to make it more difficult!

If anyone has any suggestions I would be really grateful

Thanks

Max

What's your Dad's name Max?
Where was he living when he had the car? Is it an original Lancia or a replica? (I think it's a Hawk/Transformer?)

The more info the better.

That’s an original Chris, the Lancia Motor Club May also be able to help if posted there. Unfortunately you’re going to need the new number plate or have a good idea of the chassis number. Genuine cars aren’t that common so it may have left the country by now. Good luck with the search.

Thanks for the reply Chris

His name was Bruno Ferrari, we lived in Pinner, Middlesex at the time. It was an original car, and was crashed and repaired before being sold. This was around 1980-1982.

I know its not much to go on, but you never know!

Thanks Guy, I will see if I can find any more photos and also check out the Lancia club

It's got the correct CN36s.

Max,
Did he have a 131 Abarth too?

Thanks Guy, I will see if I can find any more photos and also check out the Lancia club The Lancia Motor Club has no record of your Dad being a member from the 1991 member's regisiter or the later (current electronic database). If you have a number plate for the car I can check some more but Strati are thin on the ground. You might like to ask Martin Cliffe of Omicron.

Max,
Did he have a 131 Abarth too?

Yes he did!! I haven't started looking for that one yet! How did you know?

Chris is the wise old keeper of info Max..... (he not that old either!)
You would be surprised what he can find out from a rivet!!

Hi Max,
By any chance was your dad the famous karting engine tuner and dealer. Bruno Ferrari ?

[ProtoTipo]

Yes he did!! I haven't started looking for that one yet! How did you know?

I'm not as clever as Ian says, it was just something I saw on PistonHeads.
Gerard, you're right.
The Fiat 131:

[Stratos Max]

Thats the one! Yes he loved Karting and was involved in it for years. Did you deal with him?

This all started as I have now found two of his old cars, an AC Bristol and a Fiat Dino, so I thought it would be nice to try and find some more. As you can see he always had interesting cars which makes it slightly easier and more fun too
