    Chris,
    that's a good project to have in mind.
    I think Guy Moerenhout does the panels?
    Over the last couple of years X19's seem to have gone up in value (or asking price at least.....), according to what's listed on ebay.

    Probably cheaper to buy one that's been done already and improve gradually? Polish one does look very good!

    I can't afford one that's already done Guy.

    The panels on the green one are from Guy Moerenhout.
    The original arches should be alloy, and I'll guess that his are grp.?

    That one has been on the market a while now Chris. Whilst it's probably the best out there I suspect that once it's on the road again it's going to show lots of faults caused by perished rubber hoses, suspension components and brake seals….

    Plus it would be a shame to convert it!

    Re: Green Prototipo

    I wasn't serious about that one Guy.
    It doesn't want touching, that one?

    Something in the £1500 bracket would probably be best. Not a basket case, but not too good either.

    Re: Green Prototipo

    Never seen one in green before, I like it. Here's a picture I took a few years ago of one of the three local replicas. I'll see if I can find out where they got their body kits from and take a few more pictures. The annual meet that this was taken at was is in a couple of weeks. I'm amazed at how quick these are, I think they're my second favourite wedge!

    Re: Green Prototipo

    If you've got around 150 to 180 bhp and 800 kilos or less, it's going to fly?
    Bertone were geared up to produce a homologation run, but the plug was pulled. One Stradale was produced and it lives in the US. The Stradale is red with silver/grey body attachments.
    All four rally cars had no outer door handles (so more to go round for the Stratos?). Three of the cars had the 124 Abarth 16v cylinder heads, and one 16v with Kugelfisher injection. The fourth car had the more common 8v head. Power ranged from 170 to 210 bhp.
