Why no photos? Chris do you know the car??
This is my best guess Tim. Taken by me at Brooklands in 1999. I don't know the owner.Quote:

Trying to remember what it was in for. It came from "South of Reading" so Camberley could fit the description.
[lang=nl]I think the owners name is Gorden. A man by this name responded to my "Stratos wanted" add. He couldn't send pictures. He promised to get back with some more info but I guess it has been sold in the meantime.
Still looking b.t.w.[/lang]
Listin g now says sold? Anyone on here?
'Just to update this. I guessed wrong, it was actually Brent's old car.Quote:

Thanks to Struan for the info.
I don't know where the white round arch Hawk with the green rear louvres and roof wing is now.
I've not seen it since that show in 1999.
Now for sale at £49,995 at Totalheadturners - spotted at Goodwood this weekend HERE. Original asking price was £28k. Wish my cars had the same markup!
£50K?Quote:

Yep, that's right. I bought my new Hawk seats a month or so back, from Gordon, the previous owner - a very nice man, indeed. Didn't see the car.
I'm sure he won't mind me sharing with you that Mark from Total Headturners didn't actually let on at any point that he was a dealer - it was only through the fact that Gordon did some background research and Googled Mark's telephone number that he found out!
Will be interesting to see how long it's for sale at that price... but then again, it would have only taken one wealthy Goodwood attendee to see it and want it!
There's only ever one for sale at any time, so I suppose it is 'who dares wins'.Quote:

Now listed on C&C HERE.
How long before it's gone Richard?Quote:

The one that competed on the Spa rally. There have been numerous scale models of this car with 4 stud wheels.
Here's a photo of the Litton on the rally:

There's a slot car too.
And/or an LB up North with 5 stud wheels which was inspired by the Gary Lomas carQuote:

There's plenty of scope for nicely executed colour schemes that look like they could have existed, but didn't.
The trouble with most of the European Championship Stratos of the period is that their colour schemes are nearly all half baked.
Ken Tomblin's Rothmans Pregliasco car, for example, is in the minority.

Says Gp4 by is it not a stradale body??
Corse S built by Gary Lomas in the UK and then sold on into Belgium.
And the CAD Picture is lifted from the Lister Bell Website!
You right Craig...I recognize it as Lionel promoted me it as a car from Napiersport racing in Belgium when I was first Time in touch with them for refurbishing my car!!Quote:

All very questionable. If it is the Total head turners car then why use a picture of a Corse, a Hawk and an LB in the listing? There were plenty of pictures from THT available.
The Gary Lomas Corse, before it was 'Martini'd':

This is the same car in the first picture of the 'Leboncoin' advert link that Frederic has posted.
Agreed - anyone interested in the car needs to tread very carefully! However, it's unusual for a 'bogus' ad to have a comparatively high price.Quote:

All genuine Stratos parts !!!!
One dino engine to rebuilt !!!
main case and gears for genuine dino gear box !!!!!
Will be interesting to compare tel nb of all those ads !!!!:o
Request in France for Stratos start to increase but evidently registration stuff is an big issue so this ad can be a really serious "fake " !!!:rolleyes:
Bonjour MichelQuote:

Dino engine and gear box seems to be from an italian guy called Aldo!!
That could be interesting to call for further informations!
Yes for sure !!!Quote:

Martini car was still in THT showroom last Sunday, I spoke to Mark and it wasn't sold, so I would say that the 'other' Martini car was very, very suspect
You know what they say........... if it looks like, smells like, and tastes like dog poo, it probably is
add canceled this morning !!!

Well if they got the 50 grand asking price they did well. I had a look at it at the Goodwood FOS and to be honest wasn't that impressed - it was showing its age and the spec was rather underwhelming.
