Thank God for that - when I saw "Stratos Theme" I thought you were going to start humming/whistling a tune, or, worse, sing :)
Steve C near Oswestry has a ListerBell in Lancia England colours.Quote:

Lol. No, that would be truly awful. Although, 'The ballad of the Stratos build' . Mmm........
Ah, thanks. That's a non- option then. My quest continues.....
Anbody in UK with Alitalia theme but no logo's ?
Isnt the Alitalia theme a logo? Anyway what's wrong with logo's ?
Nothing wrong with logo's. Had the full Alitalia livery in mind for my LB. However, there seems to be a few in the UK already. Just pondering something a little different.
Yes, Ian Gear's Hawk has no logos:Quote:

That's 15, and wasn't there a Corse I CAE demonstrator in Alitalia colours?
So 16.
Are we discounting these ones because of the colour choices?Quote:

[QUOTE=Strat Fan;45695]Was this one on your collage Chris?QUOTE]
That last one is the one that sold at Bonhams recently, isn't it? (long time LMC member)
If so, it's mainly white, with a few green bits.
I won't count the non white green red cars.
I've counted that Corse in Japan, because that's definitely the CAE Corse I that I was thinking of.
So 19 up to now?
No other colour scheme comes any where near in numbers?
I can only think of 4 in works (1978) Pirelli colours and 3 in (1975) early Alitalia.
[QUOTE=ProtoTipo;45696]I can only think of 4 Pirelli, 3 Hawks & 1 CorseQuote:

I can think of 6 or is it 7 Marlboro as well, 1 LB, 1 Allora (Germany), 1 Corse "S" (Mark M), 1 Hawk Gp4 (Iain G), 1 Hawk Giro (Gerry) and the Napiersport Evo if that's allowed.
How many Chequered Flag's 3? 2 x Hawk & 1 x Litton.
Well if I'd been thinking of going the Alitalia route, that collage would be enough to make me reconsider, iconic though it is.
I particularly like the number "22" on the side window in that first pic of Craig's, that's been applied to be horizontal with the window dropped...says it all about inside temps in a Stratos! :)
How many are actually still in the in the UK though? And how many actually appear at the few events where we see more than three replicas is attendance?Quote:

Ahem! Though point taken about most having gone abroad. I don't think there was one Alitalia car at Stoneleigh this year.
I was thinking the one highlighted was Frederic's?Quote:

It just seems a bit too obvious...not so much worrying about being parked next to one exactly the same, more about being a bit more original (if you can apply that term to a replica, or a paint scheme that you're copying :) )
Absolutely. The reason there are so many speaks for itself.Quote:

The one with John Whalley and the rear panel open, was a newly built Hawk, bound for Japan in 1997.
I seem to remember it had 4 stud Image coffin spoke split rims.
Just one on Gerry's stand John.Quote:

I think Chris Ellis' car has surfaced lately?
Talking about the one on Gerrys stand, where can you get the safari tyre holder and bullbars, or are there any designs that I can reproduce hanging about?
Attachment 14899
Haha, these Alitalia things are common as muck. :cool:
Vince's has been out and about recently, He's been spotted on Instagram at the Stoner Supercar Sunday a week or so back.Quote:

/QUOTE]
Of course it is! I was fooled by the wheels. They look gold in that photo.
And yes, I wasn't thinking about the cars on the manufacturers stands at Stoneleigh, just on the club stand.
In the cars lifetime it isn't going to be parked next to another one a great deal of the time! Worrying about comparison is way down my list of priorities.
The Profili 2 book by Casucci has some good pictures of them. There seem to be 2 different designs, a simpler white one and the commoner black one; I may be wrong. No good pictures of the rear bars though, or the details of the chassis mountings. Dave Hanman would be the person to ask.Quote:

Hi
What theme is your Stratos ?
Regards
Simon
Mine? It's the Publimmo car 6 from '79 Monte Carlo, minus the orange and yellow on the wheel arches.
