Guy,
Regarding the first one:
Do you know which car this is?, who owned it, and what colour it used to be?
It's a quiz, there's no prize!
Short answer - no! Probably should... I like the Beta, must check the lottery ticket!
aw crap.
There's next week?
It used to be a UK registered car, and belonged to Alex Moore (AUC 976T). There was an article on the car in Motor Sport magazine April 1985, which is the last article included in the Brooklands book. The car was lime green with red wheels.
The dash instruments are arranged in a non standard way.
And it had the 24V engine (which is still there) on Kugelfischer injection (gone).
That was the car that first started my love affair with the Strato's, I first saw it for sale in a small showroom near Reading, shame to see its been converted to a non-specific Alitalia car. If I could afford to buy it I return it back to lime green with red wheels. The car is easily 150k Euros over priced though, the engine is probably worth around 80/100k Euros alone but then you're left with a very expensive Stradale with no engine.

Transformer/Hawk HF3000 - Chassis: 1988 Spyder #045 - Engine: Alfa 166 3.0L 24v V6 - ECU: Omex 710 - Exhaust: Simpson - Tyres: Michelin TB15's / Pirelli P7 Corsa - Wheels: Hawk Compomotive.
That's what I thought Vince. It should have stayed as it was.
Anyhow, the car in Shakey's picture is the very one.
I like to see single colour cars with the rear spoiler colour coded, but not the wing and louvres. Here's Dave H's Hawk with its mag wheels:
Did the ex Alex Moore car inspire the change from red to green, with red coffin spokes?
