    "Vendor Score total: 98/100"

    That's a tad optimistic, to me!

    Cheers,

    Agree with Leigh, too nice to break given how rare they're getting....plus it's an auto.

    I dunno how things will go from here regarding buying Alfas as donors. Yes there'll still be rusty ones, but they're getting ever-fewer as well as pricier. Time for alternative power units? - brand new Ford Ecoboost V6 crate engine plus tranny? (this is where all the Busso Boys turn out in force with large sticks...!!)

    There's bound to be some Japanese engines that no sane person would use, Norm. I think Toyota do something from the old Camry I think. I recon you could bodge one of them to fit in.

    Could be right there, Jim. It's not the full-on, authentic Italian will-it-keep-running-or-explode experience though, is it...

    Then again, you could also argue no sane person would want to drive a Stratos at all, given the driving position, the leaky side windows, the frying-under-a-magnifying-glass effect of the screen, blah blah. Fortunately the world is OK for nutters
