Marcos 1600GT (with twin cam engine)

now an LB Stratos STR Stradale

- sorry cant find pics of the first 2 and quality not good anyway.

Jim - BTW your photos of the...

Totally impractical - but what a stunning looking car ! The detailing was pretty neat too - but for $10k you'd expect it to be !

- presumably a potted history of the Lancia Stratos ?

Kinell - that's a lot of dusting !

Superb models ! - you must have quite a collection now ?

- so it's not us owners/builders who need to be afraid - it's the likes of Hawk and LB !! The risk to the replica industry remains - if other manufacturers such as Fiat and Ford wish to follow the...

I'm wondering why JLR went for a Swedish C-type replica owner when there are plenty here in the UK - are they testing the water in a smaller country first before trying their luck in other countries...

FWIW Many years ago I used to work for Tetley Tea (pre-Tata) and understand the Tata take-over was pretty brutal - with not much sympathy for the long-established traditions of the Company.

Well said Norm ! This is frankly outrageous - we should support this appeal and maybe lobby the Kit press.

That's one helluva price hike ! He must have been knocked over by prospective customers rushing to buy it !

It depends on the thickness and angle of any spacers that you put under the bracket. I used a block of black nylon cut to size and angled to suit the body profile and this works OK - also you could...

---- Groan !

You're quite right Norm - my fault ! (Wrists duly slapped )

I know there is a white one in Michigan - it was in the SEC calendar 3 or 4 years ago

What a mess ! Even when the dust settles it looks like there is going to be a lot more bureaucracy around these simple one-off cross-border transactions. Thanks for the (attempted) clarification to...

I wasnt aware of this - thanks for pointing it out. I'm more of a buyer than a seller, but my daughter is a regular seller (of vintage clothes) and she still is able to use PayPal - but not for much...

Good to see you back again Frederic - keep the posts coming!

- maybe Chinese knock-offs?

Another great vid - I'm full of admiration for your ingenuity and technical skills ! Yes I'd be interested to join the garage tour.

Nice one ! - although probably meaningless to all but the cognoscenti. (I've got my number on retention but not revealing it until I pass the test !)

No Norm - Griff was defoe-nately right with his Swift response !! One- up for the little people of Brobdingnag ?

Interesting ! - I bought the chrome finish handles and they didnt have this plastic lug - even though they use the plastic shells - however I think mine were about £240 quid all in.

I've got Bielstein handles on my car - they are a good quality OEM match.

Like it ! (seems like sound advice)

Neat solution for mounting the alternator - but maybe a daft question - Why didnt you attach the alternator protective cover to the chassis instead of the alternator/engine block ? Surely that would...
