Nice Video, nice location. sounds good.
Title could be slightly misleading and may lead to more resentment from the owners of original car as was witnessed in the aftermath of Trasmiera.
Its the Cyclone V8 powered Hawk that has been around for quite a while now. See HERE for an early (much lower quality!) video from 2007.
I first saw it at the Autosport show back around that time, I believe it has full carbon or Kevlar body work as well.
Looks like this video is filmed in Auvergne Mountains...If my informations are correct, this car could be seen soon in Tour de corse or other historic events with a french registration :confused:...To be continued!!

Fully agreed...it’s a shame! And this fact is often done by dishonorable people to mistake others and make maximum profit in a sale as recently seen in several transactions ...particularly this side of the channel!! :(Quote:

Over the last few years, there has been a softening of attitudes to the replica owners by original owners so no sense in spoiling it.
Woulda thought you're OK with "Stratos" and "Bertone" badges, as that's the exact (??) shape of it, and which was, indeed, penned by the aforementioned Bert. As for Lancia badges, hmmm...well, there are enough lookalikes out there badged as such, and as long as you're honest if/when asked, I don't see the harm in that (some "reps" are better-built than the real thing, so you could argue they're actually doing Lancia a favour...). But to enter such a car into an event as a Lancia Stratos is very naughty, cos it most certainly isn't. If you're not actually going to call it what it really is (Lister Bell STR, Hawk HFwhatever, etc.) then you should say "Lancia Stratos replica", or "homage", or similar - suppose you could say that most people won't know what a LB or Hawk is, but they'll know about the Stratos, so you're giving them an idea of what they're coming to look at.
Agree totally with Craig re. this video. Nice car, great video, very naughty boy.
Thats it in a nutshellQuote:

But I'm also well aware how much interest the cars generate at events and with the scarcity if participating original cars I can understand organizers latching on to
The appeal of having a "Stratos" on their entry list.
I was impressed with the Costa Brava event Frederic did in his Hawk where there was a defined category for replicas and specials.
As Craig says it's the Cyclone V8 car it's currently undergoing a gearbox conversion to run a Hewland set up.Quote:

There's no need to be ashamed at having one of the finest cars of its type you can buy!
Craig, rest assured that when mine's finished and on the road, and likely looking like a total shed due to ham-fistedness and general lack of ability etc, I'll be sure to let everyone know it's a Lister Bell...unless you'd like to come to a little arrangement... ;)
- even if it's banana yellow with pink springs !
I'm hoping ESPECIALLY because of that :)
Anybody know what happened to this film, wanted to watch it again.
Don't know what happend to the Video, but I think this is the car it featured. (Failed with 2 of the photos sorry)!!!!!Quote:

Interesting layout on the cooling system as it looks like there is a header tank at the front and back.............
Great pictures. Thanks for posting.
Certainly an interesting car
