"Bull bars",
Yes, that's a better description.
It is red though, not green.
There are actually 3 different green Stradales in that Graham Robson Super Profile book. The Roger Perry car is only shown in black and white.
Re: Nick Mason had a Strato's!
I knew someone would know where the moulds were lifted from !!!
Re: Nick Mason had a Strato's!
And we sort of knew who it would be too!
Well done Chris.
Mind you Guy is off hiking today, so you had no competition Chris.
I bet he knew too.
Re: Nick Mason had a Strato's!
Yup. I can confirm Roger Perry’s Car was the source for Gerry’s moulds. Hiking done for the day, well into the beers now!

Re: Nick Mason had a Strato's!
Why does "Nick Mason had a Stratos" sound like the first line of a poem???
Nick Mason had a Stratos
But was it red or green?
All pix we saw were black and white
At least the ones we'd seen
But then some peeps said they'd a book
Containing colour shots
So now we know it's really red
So Ta, you Girly Swots :)
(with thanks to Dennis the Menace for use of the "Girly Swots" insult)

And this is how my car was going to look if the owner of a VW Variant I saw on the dock road in Bootle had ever got back to me and sold me his number plate - BUC311T!
