Stratosferica

It's ridiculous, what a waste of time and money.

Wow - amazing progress on a very complex project - but looking very compact and accomplished ! Worth following - but the system translations are a bit hit and miss !

Going to visit Stephan next saturday, exited to see it in the flesh.

Let's see some photos Pim !

Last saturday went to visit Stephan to look at his Startos 4C project. First impression was his workshop, wow ! Stephan has a company called Squadra tuning which is specialized in Chip tuning Alfa Romeo's. First floor was his workshop and to get to his "hobby" space we had to go to the first floor via stairs. His cars go via a big scissor like lift :eek:. On the first floor was an Alfa Spider with 2x V6 engines he built many years ago, see this footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lLoyrCr8eU
Also a super seven he built and of corse the Lister Bell he is building now with the technique from a Alfa 4C. Really impressive to see the amount of work and knowledge put into this project. I rwally liked it when he switched on the contact, then the car seemed to come alive, without the engine running.It almost looked like a transformer coming to life.
Here are some pictures of Stephans work so far, but the pictures on his blog on facebook tells the complete story :D
Had a discussion with Stephan about getting the car registered here in Holland. He has the same dillema i have with the Lancia 037 i am building. Dutch registration is far more difficult than Englisch so we are still hoping for a delay in Brexit ( sorry guys ) just to get our cars registered in the UK via the IVA procedure. We fear we can not build fast enough though :(
Anyway here are some pictures .
Cheers

Looks good. Any idea what the finished weight will be?

I like it. Its such homage to the original. Just goes to reinforce the Stratos is such a timeless design, an ICON of the car world. Gushing over!
