Does anyone know if the 1976 Le Mans Aseptogyl Stratos still exists ? is in a museum ? or private ownership ?

[Strat Fan]

It still exists but sports the Le Mans 1977 colour scheme.
I believe it is owned by a well known Swiss man who has something of an aversion to replicas.
As of June & July it was located in the museum at Le Mans-

Thanks for the info. I now know whose door to knock on for the correct period stickers, not that I am close to needing them !
I went to Classic Le Mans this year which prompted my interest in Stratos at Le Mans but unfortunately didn't go in the Museum, even though the expensive entry tickets include a free museum visit. Perhaps a pre christmas visit if it is still there.
Has anyone built a 'replica' of the 76 car ?

[pab56]

I notice your photo label includes LWB. Did this car have an extended wheelbase ? If so where was the extra added ?

[ProtoTipo]

The extra length is seen in the thickness of the 'B' pillar Paul.
Michel had a special Lister Bell built, but unfortunately never applied the colour scheme. As far as I know. SEE HERE

Fascinating build story with a very sad ending.
