    Which I would imagine could be quite efficient for cooling especially if fitted with a deflector under the nose to keep heat from the bulkhead.

    A man with a performance oriented mind would put a wing in that area!

    Exactly Craig!
    I have no idea why the Italian engineers did not go in that way and modified the Prototipo original bonnet?!

    Love this front end, notice the side air intakes on the rear clip differ too, door handles as well. Glad they changed the wiper set up but the wind down windows look like they give more ventilation than the pivoted ones we've all got now!

    I'm glad Marcus (who has it now) hasn't converted it to yet another group 4 rally replica.

    Marcus' friend Bernd took a really good plan view photo of it. I drew up the Prototype Stratos HF logo and we made it into a poster.

    I like it very much just as well and that would be a pity to convert it...
    Hope to see it in flesh sooner or later!
