So the real reason the Stratos Zero was canned and they came out with the "regular" Stratos, was so they could finally shift those 500 windscreens they'd had to order, just to get the one for that Trapeze?? :)
Certainly looks a more credible ancestor of the Strato's than the zero does!

But yes, the Zero looks more like the LP400's ancestor, than the production Stratos.
More styling cues from this one

Never seen the Trapeze before though Chris - looks really odd to me!
That looks full-on UFO (the TV series)! Bertone certainly liked to recycle though didn’t they.
The Trapeze has always reminded me a little of the AMC Gremlin, only a little, around the back and rear quarter window.
The NSU Trapeze: car styling wiothout a net.
I know the runabout Guy. I didn't realise it was designed in the 60s though.Quote:

There's your ancestor, Chris R.?
