I wouldn't disagree with that Jim. I'm all for uilding cars which look exactly like the original, or as close as you can go given the scarcity of 'original' parts.Quote:

Looks as though trying to be a slight homage to the original original. Paint colour and louvers??
I think I may nip down and show them how it should have looked, only 4 miles down the road, but the engine wouldn’t be warm by then.
Depends how quickly you do the 4 miles!Quote:

Listing is back up - sale must have fallen through..

This time, still erroneously, described as Manufacturer - Lancia. I wonder what the log book says?

So they still can't get it right... WTF

Hopefully we may find out!
Decent car under the 'add on's' ;)
What a strange turn of circumstances. I've been following the build/conversation of this obviously LB car for about 3 years and it was only delivered to the customer a couple of months ago. It must be heartbreaking for the team at Retropower as they've put a huge amount of effort into making it to the customer's spec!! You're correct Robin it is intended to be a flavour of the Zero. For me they've ruined a perfectly good LB by sticking big air intakes and intercooler grills either side due to the addition of a supercharger which caused significant overheating problems. I think they may struggle to sell it given that it's looks are so far away from a Strat replica and at that price which I suspect reflects the hefty RP bill.
RP must of got something wrong, because my supercharged Stratos has never overheated. :cool::D
