    "Bull bars",
    Yes, that's a better description.
    It is red though, not green.

    There are actually 3 different green Stradales in that Graham Robson Super Profile book. The Roger Perry car is only shown in black and white.

    And we sort of knew who it would be too!
    Well done Chris.
    Mind you Guy is off hiking today, so you had no competition Chris.
    I bet he knew too.

    Yup. I can confirm Roger Perry’s Car was the source for Gerry’s moulds. Hiking done for the day, well into the beers now!

    Re: Nick Mason had a Strato's!

    Why does "Nick Mason had a Stratos" sound like the first line of a poem???

    Nick Mason had a Stratos
    But was it red or green?
    All pix we saw were black and white
    At least the ones we'd seen
    But then some peeps said they'd a book
    Containing colour shots
    So now we know it's really red
    So Ta, you Girly Swots

    (with thanks to Dennis the Menace for use of the "Girly Swots" insult)

    And this is how my car was going to look if the owner of a VW Variant I saw on the dock road in Bootle had ever got back to me and sold me his number plate - BUC311T!
