Anyone for kit of parts...?

In light of the recent Dino auction I wonder where these will end up price wise......?

Abarth chassis??
'nothing to do with Abarth.

Does anyone know how the roof skin was constructed on these?
Barrie, who worked on the Gartrac steel replica tubs, described the construction process for the roof skin. On the Gartrac cars, he said it was done in several pieces. That appears to be the case on this tub that's for sale.

I've never seen an original in bare metal before, so I wouldn't know.
Does anyone else know how the roof skin was made? You wouldn't think there was much in the way of press tooling?

Price?

If it's an original tub, and if it has an ID.
It's got to be upwards of £150k?
That's just for the shell on it's own, and the majority of that value is the ID, I would have thought?
There's enough skill out there to make replica tubs, but without an ID, they're just expensive replicas, as the Gartrac cars were.

So with no chassis number and no engine number this is surely a replica ???................. just like a Hawk or LB ?...... When does it become an "Original" Strato's ??........... guess we have been over this ground before

I would have that makes Coy's statement as original somewhat dangerous? Ie leaves them potentially liable or do they always back that onto the seller for responsibility?

Do you think the "Abarth" thing might be deliberate Peter?
It's ok, we didn't say "Bertone"?

I thought there was still one of the Gartrac replica chassis sitting in eir factory or squirrelled away somewhere. Could this be it?

Get your bid in Bernard :-)
