I could never be comfortable with trying to pass a replica off as an original and have always been very quick to fess up when asked if I've been out and about in Frederics cars.
But I'm also well aware how much interest the cars generate at events and with the scarcity if participating original cars I can understand organizers latching on to
The appeal of having a "Stratos" on their entry list.
I was impressed with the Costa Brava event Frederic did in his Hawk where there was a defined category for replicas and specials.
Another thing about passing off replicas as real ones - it must really p*ss off Craig and Gerry not to get recognition after all the hard work and years of refinement they put into their product, especially these days when "replicas" are looked upon favourably in their own right (look at the continuations etc. from Jaguar, Land Rover and Aston Martin). There's no need to be ashamed at having one of the finest cars of its type you can buy!
Craig, rest assured that when mine's finished and on the road, and likely looking like a total shed due to ham-fistedness and general lack of ability etc, I'll be sure to let everyone know it's a Lister Bell...unless you'd like to come to a little arrangement...
- even if it's banana yellow with pink springs !
I'm hoping ESPECIALLY because of that
Anybody know what happened to this film, wanted to watch it again.
Don't know what happend to the Video, but I think this is the car it featured. (Failed with 2 of the photos sorry)!!!!!
It was a couple of years ago when I took these at a Hill Climb that I was officiating at, and the owner did say he wanted to sell at that time, and is fully road legal (so I was told at the time).
