It's seems to have been a long time since a Stratos has sold at auction. It'll be interesting to see what this one makes next Saturday. If it sells, that is?

Well it certainly looks the part, even if the price is a bit 'optimistic'. But then again, if it sells for that sort of money, it should be good for us all (in theory anyway)

Is that going to be the quiet(ish) road car?

Good idea!

I think road car belts would be better in a road car? Then you don't have that 5 minutes of putting the belts on before you set off, and you'd be able to shift forwards in your seat at road junctions etc.
It would be great if you could easily retro fit inertia reel belts. I had a go, but it was too much hassle.
'Easy to engineer them in if you're building from scratch. You can't use the lower seat belt anchor because the belt can't exit the reel at the correct angle. Ferrari 308 or Lotus Elise reels are higher on the rear bulkhead. David J. has TR7 belts mounted in a similar way.

'Just a thought?

So replicas are one tenth of the value? Or less?
I remember when they were half!

I'll take €29,960 for mine.
