It's actually the same list as me as well, perhaps without the "long trip if needed" aspect, unless that means without breaking down!! Maybe I'm just a martyr

I've gone for the Alfa 3.2 Engine plus some of the LB standard mods so am ending up around 300bhp.

On a totally personal level (so no flames please) I wouldn't have gone down the route of getting a Stratos replica if they came only with the Toyota engine. My mental image of the car has a screaming N/A classic Italian engine as part of the overall package. I appreciate, perhaps more than most, the power, performance and noise you get from a supercharged Toyota engine sitting behind your head but it was never a tick-box for me. Thankfully other views on the subject are available leading to an even wider choice of cars and builds all round for everyone so a win / win.

The main problem for anyone wanting a car is the wait to get it. That's keeping 2nd hand prices fairly frothy.
