    Re: Green Strat

    Woulda thought you're OK with "Stratos" and "Bertone" badges, as that's the exact (??) shape of it, and which was, indeed, penned by the aforementioned Bert. As for Lancia badges, hmmm...well, there are enough lookalikes out there badged as such, and as long as you're honest if/when asked, I don't see the harm in that (some "reps" are better-built than the real thing, so you could argue they're actually doing Lancia a favour...). But to enter such a car into an event as a Lancia Stratos is very naughty, cos it most certainly isn't. If you're not actually going to call it what it really is (Lister Bell STR, Hawk HFwhatever, etc.) then you should say "Lancia Stratos replica", or "homage", or similar - suppose you could say that most people won't know what a LB or Hawk is, but they'll know about the Stratos, so you're giving them an idea of what they're coming to look at.

    Agree totally with Craig re. this video. Nice car, great video, very naughty boy.

    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.
