It's not as if you're going to say no is it?!

Choices would be limited though on a Corse I with Stradale rear?

16" coffin spoke all round would work as would a 16" front, 17" rear combination. It depends how wide you want to go with the tyres but I think it would have to be a GP4 wheel arch conversion

I'm sure "someone" could help with all the parts that are missing from the kit but without a definitive list of what's included it's hard to say what's actually required to complete it.

You would expect it to do well, simply because unfinished (or unstarted) kits turn up for sale these days?

It will be interesting to see what it makes for sure. I do think that the listing is somewhat vague & on the evidence of the pictures shown then the kit is far from complete despite the listing saying otherwise. A Strato's replica build isn't for the faint hearted at the best of times but an early '90's Corse would require someone with prior knowledge of building a kit & someone who is more than proficient in the black art that is fibreglass to complete the project. Maybe another one for Mick Covill to look at?

The body looks remarkably like the package that was for sale on Gumtree a while ago. In some farmers barn.
Was it Oxfordshire or Gloucestershire?

A similar surface finish but not the same car!

It's a darn site more complete than what I started with on my build.....but that V6 looks like it needs to be weighed in.

Start bidding Chris, you meet the criteria & you have a suitable donor already stripped & ready to fit!!

What are you trying to do to me Craig!

**strat24v** · 27-03-2016, 21:52

bet that wallet is twitching!!

**Guy Mayers** · 27-03-2016, 22:04

Five bidders already! If it follows the usual eBay pattern we'll see it tail off tomorrow and then a frenzy in the last hour!

I think it's calling to you Chris - there aren't many out there with the qualifications to do it justice!

I can furnish you with a 2.5 V6 for the current project & you can then save the 3.0 for another Strat!!
The new man shed looks big enough to cope with both.......
