Hi Paula... So sorry to hear about your Dad Alan... I also met him many years ago at the first meets we had... His Red car car passed through the hands of Jerry Bailey and was repainted in Chequered Flag colours (sort of)...... But I have not seen this one though.... Hopefully we can get some interest through the club for your sale.
Condolences Phil
Thank you Phil, your condolences are much appreciated. Lol. I'm not sure how Dad would have felt about the chequered flag colours. I know he took great pride in creating his Italia flag Stratos. Paula

Hiya Paula - glad to have you on here, although not in the best of circumstances, so condolences from me too. :(
But here's a thought: you seem quite well-up on yer Dad's old motor, and it obviously means something special, so, er, why don't you keep it and use it yourself, even if only occasionally? I'm sure there are people on here who can help to keep it running and on the road. Unless, that is, that "Gold Coast" location on yer profile really is the one in Oz, which makes it a bit of a trek to pop over for a whiz round the block...!
Still, if it has to go, good luck with the sale.
Cheers!
Norm
Hi Guys, looks alot like Dad's.
Hello Norm, many thanks for your message and kind condolences. I am very humbled by how many people crossed paths with Dad & remember him so fondly. I think he would be pleased to know I am in contact with you all. Alas, Gold Coast is in Queensland & although my son, who is in the industry, would relish whizzing around Surfers Paradise on a Sunday arvo in this spectacular car. The Stratos has been Willed to myself and my two sisters along with 3 Fiats and we made a decision to sell all as it would be fair. Also, the Stratos deserves a home where it will be cherished and appreciated fully.

Paula,
Sorry for your loss. While you are dealing with this you might as well tell everybody here what those Fiats are as there are a few fans of that marque here.
Ah OK... I was told it was Alan's car.... Never mindQuote:

You might still be right Phil?Quote:
