MooglyMoog - what happened - I was looking forward to seeing the engine installation/build thread on stratosec !!!
Exciting auction though - I was watching from the sidelines

Yeah, my personal max was 35k. A few guys waited till the end and pushed it up to 88k (my entire budget for a stratos).

Sadly I hear its going to be a coffee table...

I was really hoping 037Fan was going to get it.

Interestingly the seller was Amir Rosenbaum, max land speed record holder guy.

For 88 grand - presumably USD - that's going to be one helluvan expensive coffee table !

Not many years back, there was a dtm Alfa 155 2.5 engine for sale, 20k. That would've been fantastic. Probably want rebuilding regular but that sound and 400+ bhp n/a?!

Here's an alternate idea - for a fraction the price you could have this:

and ask Craig to whip up some bodywork to wrap around it - in his spare time of course
