    I know it's the same car. It just has a different registration number.

    I see what you mean now John.
    I notice it's on 5 studs, so I take it, a conversion to LB coffin spokes would fairly easy? If needed.

    Stuarts was a T reg wasn't it? Why would it be re-registered?
    Wouldn't the coffin spokes' offsets be wrong for a Corse?

    I would think because of the preferred reg. number?

    When I say LB coffin spokes Chris, I don't mean LB coffin spokes for LBs, but LB coffin spokes specifically designed for the Corse.

    3 examples of Corse with LB Corse wheels. Chris Savage's old Corse has them too.
    I assume the front suspension is the same on all types:

    If this is a known entity I’d appreciate any informed opinions on it (by PM if you prefer)

    Bit hard to put together info on different options (LB v Hawk v Corse) - is there a simple summary on Forum or elsewhere?

    My understanding is Corse deviates a bit more from original Stratos body shape than some others and suspension design varies from original too in interests of “improvement”? Can’t remember where I read that.

    Thanks!

    Well, for starters, I certainly won't purport to offer an independent commentary myself on the different virtues of different approaches to creating a 'replica' or 'evocation' of these wonderful cars, but sight of a few more photos of my own as currently offered might help. Happily, there's another site which allows more photos to be posted, which might help in the assessment, so here's a link:

    https://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk...stratos/310141

    (And please don't underestimate how very reluctant indeed I am to part with this much-loved car, or how short the window in which I'm obliged to offer it; after which it's withdrawn and I'm keeping hold....!)
