145,000? !!!
It's a corse I replica, one of the last Napiersports to leave these shores.
The asking prices on the continent do appear to have gone somewhat crazy over the last few years....
The first chassis built with your revised engine cradle and suspension pickups Craig.
It was 95% of the way there I think. Went together pretty well as I recall
Although subsequent chassis were not an improvement (shall we say), as under Lionels direction they got a bit mixed up between S and I model drawings.
Shame really. Marked the beginning of the end for the Corse.
ps. It's the one you saw hidden away in South Wales Steve!
Different colour and white wheels when I saw it

Interior makes a little more sense with the original colour scheme.....- Not really my taste but each to his own. Is there something off with the drivers side front wheelarch?
Are you thinking it looks a bit "slopey"? More rounded than normal looking from the front?
I did hear that it had some unconventional work to get it through IVA but wouldn't know who, or what was done.
Yes, shame it didn't get a retrim when it got a respray......Quote:

It looks as though the nose has been fitted incorrectly, it has been mounted too low at the front. Kevin has a similar issue with Simon's old car.
When you lift the nose at the front it opens up the gap at the front of the wheel and gives it a more concentic appearance in the arch.
Trying to flatten the nose in the middle helps as well.
This might not be as easy with the Favarin bodies as it was with the D Gornall generation bodies though.
The rear arch extension leaves a little to be desired as well....
Hopefully my panel gaps will be a bit better then this ��
At least yours is more of a blank canvas and you can learn by the mistakes of those that gave gone before!Quote:

But can also be picked up in other shots.
Does also look like it has a lead filled lamp pod....
And follow the path of greater wisdom by treating it to an LB shell. - Or an LB roof spoiler at the very least.Quote:

The line between the door shut and the arch angles in rather than following though & this could make the arch look wider on the angle of your pic.
Another car here which shows the top body line better-

If you want wide arch there is this one which has had the arches extended to cover the Hawk wheels it has fitted....
Wide track suspension and zero offset wheels don't quite fit under the standard arches.

The profile of the passenger side front arch is what I would call normal - flatish - The driver side looks to be sloping down - It may that its slightly wider as well but camera angles make that a hard call.
Oh wow - that one with the wider arches ! And just how many in Alitalia ! -
I see what you mean, but I think there may be a bit of an optical illusion here, caused by the Strato's lettering which slopes so dramatically. Tricks the brain into thinking the drivers side slopes down more than it really does while the passenger side looks flatter than it is.

Although the chassis for that car was a bit (lot) of an improvement over what was coming out of Skipton before, the body panels were appalling.
The moulds thet were produced from were pretty flexible, but the lay up of the panels was so thick you couldn't manipulate them if you tried. Plus they were that full of resin over glass that they seemed brittle.
The rear arches were indeed a disaster as, again in Lionels wisdom, had been grafted on to the rear clam without reference to anything.

Another car for sale in Italy 😂😂😂 Nothing to do with me.
https://www.subito.it/auto/lancia-st...-487956277.htm
A real Group 4 car for sale I think. The advert is a little obscure. At 630,000? it is definitely nothing to do with me 😁

A nice Hawk for sale in Italy. Nothing to do with me ;)

Nothing to do with me but looks interesting with steel tub.
I think it's a Hawk Mike.Quote:

Just found this!
It's a Hawk, Mike.Quote:

Edit - definitely Chronosport; there are photos of it on their website. Not sure about their 290,000€ start price for a car though!!! Their replica suspension parts are engineering art.
Yes, plenty of nice work in the browsing photos.
Are the front spindles and bottom arms machined out of solid? Can't quite decide if the finish is laser cut in some way or cnc machining. Anyone elucidate?
Overall it looks a good replica but quite whether the price is justified I couldn't say.
I do quite like their 'modernised' version of the Grp 4 dash though looks a bit sparse in instrumentation.
They carry machining marks all over them but I wonder if the lower arms especially are cast and then cleaned up on the CNC.Quote:

Not a car but for anyone with a strong enough bookshelf..........
I wonder what the reserve is Mike?Quote:

Google translate says:
Stratos Ferrari 3000 engine working GR4 fiberglass body tubular steel frame. aluminum paneled
I was wondering whether it's an Allora or Corse chassis/kit, but modified? It's got a flat roof spoiler and vertical chassis rails behind the A pillar. Funny bodywork modifications though.Quote:

I haven't seen this scale of model before.
There are some superb models by Laudo Racing coming out of Italy. I've got their Fiat 242 van/trailer in 1/18th and am waiting for a Lancia Beta Coupe next year. They don't do a Stratos yet though.

Anyone looking for an original Fiat 131?
