Hi Alex

Do you know the history of the car ??............ just looking at the registration KKL54N............ UK registered ?????

I think this is one of Christian Hrabalek's old cars,painted locally to me.
There were some pictures of it on the old site.

'Beat me to it Tom.
I've just been comparing it to this photo.
You can see the yellow arrow near the jacking point.
I'm certain, now that you've come to the same conclusion.

I photographed this car in detail at the Rally Legend event in 2009, I chatted to the owner after the event and told me he'd purchased the car from Christian. I queried the UK registration and IIRC he explained that this was to get round the Italian equivalent of the MOT. Basically it just made it easier to own the car in Italy with it registered in the UK.

Nicely prepared car and he drove it hard, even clouted a large hay bale on one stage, he owns a large company in Biella so you can guess who looks after the car. He purchased quite a few of my photos a few weeks after the event.

Good evening Gentlemen!

Thanks to a friend member of this maravellous site now I am a very new member!

Since I was a kid I loved Stratos.....Stratos is the perfect car.

My favourite is with Pirelli livery.

Phil I think you know more than me about the car in the pics I posted.

What's the story?

Ciao a tutti!

Ciao Phil,

thanx for the answer!

My dream is to build a Stratos with Pirelli livery. I surfed a lot on the net trying to find some good example of the Pirelli livery LHD.
Once I read on an italian classic cars magazine "RUOTECLASSICHE" an article, with pics, about a real Stratos Pirelli owned by the son of the famous stylist Ferragamo.
Well the only picture I could find that were identical to that Ferragamo Strtos were those I posted.
I did not know that also that one was a replica. Funny thing owned by an italian.
I will try to get in touch with him. I want to see the car for real.

Who is Christian Hrabalek ?
Now I am very curios on this car.

ProtoTipo what does mean the yellow arrow????

Monte76, do u have any contact of the owner???

I am new on this site!

I hope someone will answer.....this is the best site for Stratos!!!

Ciao a tutti.

Alex
