    Hello, I just joined, a year ago.....

    Hello,

    I'm typing on my mother's, Sue's, behalf.

    She has a Transformer Stradle, fitted with a Guy Croft stage 2 tuned 2ltr Lancia Twin Cam. The vehicle was built by David Price Racing in the late 1980s.

    Attached is a photo of the car in the Swiss Alps in 2018.

    We joined a year ago, but my mum hasn't been able to get on, so I have taken the reins.

    EDIT: I think this is chassis number 7, I believe the details are missing from the list here | https://www.stratosec.com/Forum/show...wk-Transformer

    I guess if you're not Sue, but her son, that makes you Sue-son?? If you're her daughter though, then it doesn't really work...

    Nice car, good to see an oldie in long-term ownership and still used. Hope you've got it insured for a decent value - they're worth significantly more than they were even 10 years ago!

    I admit I had to go and look DPR up. I knew it rang a bell from that great period of F3 racing but couldn't remember without a memory jog.
    Did they build it for Sue or did she acquire it from someone there? I'd be hoping it was set up immaculately!

    I am her son, much to my mother's disappointment, she was expecting and hopeing for a daughter, so much so that I have three brothers, all who should have been girls!

    The car is definately still going. However, the vehicle is in need of some TLC; the windscreen leaks and the interior is a little tired, but I'm going to be giving it a bit of an overhaul over the next few months.

    It was bought in the mid 90s as a 25 year wedding aninversay present from one of the mechanics that built it, with only 2000 miles on the clock. The car has just over 21000 now, ~3500 of which I added in 2018 touring Europe.

    We used to live in Cricklade and remember seeing the car prowling around outside of Cirencester. Great to see it again. Any more great photos?
