I saw this Stratos last weekend in Monterey California at the RM Auction.
It was a very well used race car.
Was this an original front grill? I've never noticed another one like this.

Regrettably, I didn't take lots of pictures of the car.
The grill is a one off.
'Looks like it has a Ferrari gear lever too, which isn't standard. Apart from the 1240 and 0003 cars.
Sold for 471k pounds.
When I was still working (Building Engineering) I had to interview people when they applied for jobs.
To ensure some sort of consistency we had written a sheet of a dozen or so questions.
To lighten the interview tension, one of the questions I had written was "What's the difference between a grill and a diffuser".
A grille (with an 'e') is an air terminal device (supply or extract) that discharges or removes air from a space with little or no mixing with adjacent air.
A diffuser supplies air into the space in very specific controlled way(s) with to ensure mixing with adjacent air to minimize hot jets/cold draughts etc.
New graduates would really struggle with this as they had rarely encountered these things in real world applications.
They would try all sorts of explanations until I said, the answer is "you can't make toast on a diffuser"..............boom boom
You could get a feeling if they would make good employees depending on how they reacted.

Can I Pinch your joke;)
Sach.
My dad was a diffuser during the war. He was in the Bomb Squad....used to defuse em. :) :) (Actually he was in the Navy, but that's what I'd have replied ;) ....along with, "Grill" is what you do to interviewees)
Thank you.Quote:
